THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Com-

Poland, Slovenia and Slovakia, and in particular Article 2(3)

Commission Decision
amending
Appendix B to Annex VIII to the 2003 Act of Accession
to include certain animal by-products establishments in
Latvia in the list of establishments in transition has
included six additional establishments to the list in the
Appendix.

For those establishments, and one establishment already
listed,
it appears appropriate to derogate from the
activity limitation in order to avoid in particular the
negative sanitary consequences which could emerge if
the establishments were to suspend their activities.

Taking account of the advanced stage of upgrading and
the exceptional nature of the transitional measure, the
transitional period should be limited to 31 December
2004 and should not be prolonged after that date.

The measures provided for in this Decision are in
accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee
on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
