Having  regard  to  the  Treaty  of  Accession  of  the  Czech  Republic,  Estonia,  Cyprus,  Latvia,

the  requirements  for  the  production  and  placing  on  the  market  of  minced  meat  and 
meat  preparations6,  in  Annex  B  to  Council  Directive  92/46/EEC  of  16  June  1992 
laying down the health rules for the production and placing on the market of raw milk, 
heat-treated  milk  and  milk-based  products7  and  in  the  Annex  to  Council  Directive 
91/493/EEC of 22 July 1991 laying down the health conditions for the production and 
the  placing  on  the  market  of  fishery  products8  are  not  to  apply  to  establishments  in 
Lithuania  listed  in  Appendix  B  to  Annex  IX  to  the  Act  of  Accession  until  31 
December 2006, subject to certain conditions. 

In  Lithuania,  thirty-five  more  high  capacity  meat  establishments,  five  more  milk 
processing  establishments  and  four  more  fish  processing  establishments  have 
difficulties  in  complying  with  the  structural  requirements  laid  down  in  Annex  I  to 
Directive  64/433/EEC,  in Annex  I to  Directive 71/118/EEC, in Annexes A and B to 
Directive  77/99/EEC,  in  Annex  I  to  Directive  94/65/EC,  in  Annex  B  to  Directive 
92/46/EEC and in the Annex to Directive 91/493/EEC, by 1 May 2004. 

Accordingly  those  forty-four  establishments  need  time  to  finalize  their  upgrading 
process in order to be in full compliance with the relevant structural requirements laid 
down in Directives 64/433/EEC, 71/118/EEC, 77/99/EEC, 94/65/EC, 92/46/EEC and 
91/493/EEC. 

The forty-four establishments, which are currently in an advanced state of upgrading, 
have  given  reliable  guarantees  that  they  have  the  necessary  funds  to  correct  their 
remaining  shortcomings  within  a  short  time  and  have  received  a  favourable  opinion 
from the State Food and Veterinary Service of the Republic of Lithuania, as regards 
the finalisation of their upgrading process.  

For  Lithuania,  the  detailed  information  regarding  the  shortcomings  for  each 
establishment is available. 

In  order  to  facilitate  the  transition  from  the  existing  regime  in  Lithuania  to  that 
resulting  from  the  application  of  the  Community  veterinary  legislation,  it  is  justified 
therefore  upon  the  request  of  Lithuania,  to  grant  the  forty-four  establishments  a 
transitional period. 

Due  to  the  advanced  stage  of  upgrading  of  the  forty-four  establishments,  the 
transitional period should be limited to a maximum of 12 months. 

The Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health has been informed of 
the measures provided for in this Decision,
