COMMISSION DECISION

of 16 May 2007

amending Decision 2004/432/EC on the approval of residue monitoring plans submitted by third
countries in accordance with Council Directive 96/23/EC

(notified under document number C(2007) 2088)

(Text with EEA relevance)

(2007/362/EC)

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

(4)

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:

(1)

(2)

(3)

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
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.

third countries

Commission Decision 2004/432/EC of 29 April 2004
on the approval of residue monitoring plans submitted
by third countries in accordance with Council Directive
96/23/EC (2)
those third countries which have
the
submitted a residue monitoring plan, setting out
guarantees offered by them in compliance with the
requirements of that Directive.

lists

Serbia has presented residue monitoring plans to the
Commission for animals and products of animal origin
not currently listed in Decision 2004/432/EC. The
evaluation of those plans and the additional information
obtained by the Commission provide sufficient guar-
antees on the residue monitoring in that third country
for the animals and products concerned. The relevant
animals and products of animal origin should therefore
be included in the list for Serbia in that Decision.

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

Costa Rica and Vietnam, which are currently listed for
certain animals or products of animal origin under
submitted to the
Decision 2004/432/EC, have not
Commission the requested guarantees for some of these
animals and products of animal origin. Moreover Food
and Veterinary Office inspections in those third countries
have revealed serious deficiencies concerning the residue
monitoring for the animals and products concerned. The
entries for the relevant animals and products of animal
origin for
those third countries should therefore be
deleted in the list. The third countries concerned have
been informed accordingly.

A transitional period should be laid down to cover
consignments of animals and products originating in
Costa Rica, Greenland, Namibia, Paraguay and Vietnam
which were dispatched from those third countries for the
this
Community, before the date of application of
in
Decision, to cover the time needed for their arrival
the Community.

Decision 2004/432/EC should therefore be amended
accordingly.

The measures provided for
