The Appendix to Annex XIV to the 2003 Act of
Accession has been amended by Commission Decision
2004/463/EC (5) and 2005/189/EC (6).

According to an official declaration from the Slovak
competent authority three meat establishments have
completed their upgrading process and are now in full
compliance with Community legislation. These estab-
lishments should therefore be deleted from the list of
establishments in transition.

One meat establishment on the list of establishments in
transition has made considerable efforts to comply with
structural requirements laid down by Community legis-
lation. However, this establishment is not in position to
finish its upgrading process by the prescribed deadline
due to exceptional technical constraints. Therefore it is
justified to allow it
time to complete the
further
upgrading process.

The Appendix to Annex XIV to the 2003 Act of
Accession should therefore be amended accordingly.
For the sake of clarity, it should be replaced.

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