Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 853/2004 lays down
separate definitions for meat products and for treated
stomachs, bladders and intestines.

The specific treatments laid down for each third country
by Decision 2005/432/EC are established basing on the
treatments laid down by Directive 2002/99/EC in order
to eliminate the potential animal health risk carried by
the fresh meat used in the preparation of
the meat
products. From the animal health point of view, treated
stomachs, bladders and intestines present
the same
animal health risk of
the meat products. Therefore,
they should be treated with the same specific treatments
as provided for in Decision 2005/432/EC and conse-
quently submitted to the harmonised veterinary certifi-
cation for their import into the Community.

Animal health requirements for importation into the EU
of casings are laid down in Decision 2003/779/EC (8).
Therefore,
Decision
2003/779/EC should be excluded by the definition of
meat products and treated stomachs, bladders and
