Having regard to the Treaty
Community,

establishing the European

Having regard to Council Directive 96/23/EC of 29 April 1996
on measures to monitor certain substances and residues thereof
in live animals and animal products and repealing Directives
85/358/EEC and 86/469/EEC and Decisions 89/187/EEC and
91/664/EEC (1), and in particular the fourth subparagraph of
Article 29(1) and Article 29(2) thereof,

Whereas:

(3)

in Community legislation,

Directive 96/23/EC lays down measures to monitor the
substances and groups of residues listed in Annex I
thereto. Pursuant to Directive 96/23/EC, the inclusion
and retention on the lists of third countries, provided
for
from which Member
States are authorised to import animals and primary
products of animal origin covered by that Directive, are
subject to submission by the third countries concerned of
a plan setting out the guarantees which they offer as
regards the monitoring of the groups of residues and
substances referred to in that Directive.

96/23/EC (2)

concerned. The

for those third countries in that Decision.

(6)

Certain third countries have voluntarily asked not to be
included in the list in Decision 2004/432/EC for some
categories of animals and products of animal origin. The
entries concerning relevant animals and products of
animal origin should therefore be deleted from the list
for those third countries.

Certain third countries which are currently listed for
certain animals or products of animal origin under
Decision 2004/432/EC have not
submitted to the
Commission the requested guarantees for some of these
animals and products of animal origin. In the absence of
such guarantees, the entries for the relevant animals and
products of animal origin should therefore be deleted in
the list for those third countries. The third countries
concerned have been informed accordingly.

In addition, certain third countries are listed in the Annex
to Decision 2004/432/EC for bovine, ovine/caprine,
swine and equine with the limitation ‘only for casings’.
That limitation was inserted in that Annex as an infor-
mation on the third countries from which casings should
be allowed to be imported. However,
third
countries have not to submit a residue plan specifically
for casings for approval, since a residue monitoring plan
is not considered to be needed for
these products.
in the interest of clarity of Community
Accordingly,
legislation the entries with the limitation ‘only for
casings’ should be deleted from the list in the Annex
to Decision 2004/432/EC, without any prejudice to the
imports of such products.

The responsibility to evaluate the residue control plans
for all categories of animals and products of animal
origin from Norway lies with the EFTA Surveillance
Authority. Therefore the entries for that country should
be deleted from the list
in the Annex to Decision
2004/432/EC.
