Accordingly those 39 establishments need time to fina-
lise their upgrading process in order to be in full compli-
ance 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 39 establishments, which are currently in an
advanced state of upgrading, have given reliable guaran-
tees that they have the necessary funds to correct their
remaining shortcomings within a short time and have
received a favourable opinion from the Latvian Food and
Veterinary Service, as regards the finalisation of their
upgrading process.

For Latvia, the detailed information regarding the short-
comings for each establishment is available.

In order to facilitate the transition from the existing
regime in Latvia to that resulting from the application of
the Community veterinary legislation, it is justified there-
fore upon the request of Latvia, to grant the 39 estab-
lishments a transitional period.

Due to the advanced stage of upgrading of the 39 estab-
lishments, 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,

HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:
