THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty

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)

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

Directive, are subject
to the submission by the third
countries concerned of a plan setting out the guarantees
which they offer as regards the monitoring of the groups

the Falkland Islands, Mauritius and
Belarus, Canada,
Switzerland have submitted residue monitoring plans to
the Commission for animals and products of animal

by the Commission provide sufficient guarantees on the
residue monitoring in those third countries for

included in the list for Ethiopia, Iran and Suriname in
the Annex to Decision 2004/432/EC.

for

Eritrea, Israel and Tunisia which are currently listed for
certain animals or products of animal origin in the
Annex to Decision 2004/432/EC have not submitted to
the Commission the requested residue monitoring plans
for some of those animals and products of animal origin,
because there are currently no exports of such animals or
products of animal origin from those third countries to
the Community. The entries for the relevant animals and
products of animal origin should therefore be deleted
from the list for those third countries in the Annex to
Decision 2004/432/EC. The third countries concerned
have been informed accordingly.

Food and Veterinary Office inspection has
revealed
serious deficiencies concerning the live equidae testing
in that third country. The relevant entry for Ukraine
should therefore be deleted from the list in the Annex
to that Decision. The authorities of that third country
have been informed accordingly.

South Africa which is currently listed for several animals
or products of animal origin in the Annex to Decision
2004/432/EC, has submitted to the Commission the
requested residue monitoring plans for those animals
and products of animal origin. However, a Food and
Veterinary Office inspection has revealed serious de-
ficiencies concerning the implementation of the residue
monitoring plan for certain animals or products of
animal origin of those referred to in the plans. On that
basis South Africa has requested to delete the entries for

all the animals and the products of animal origin from
the list in the Annex to that Decision, with the exception
of wild and farmed game, including ostriches. For these
animals and products of animal origin, substantial guar-
antees have been received.

(10) A transitional period should be laid down to cover
consignments of animals and products of animal origin
originating in Belize, Colombia, Eritrea,
Israel, Kenya,
Oman, Tunisia, Ukraine, South Africa, and Zimbabwe
which were dispatched from those third countries for
the Community before the date of application of this
Decision, to cover the time needed for their arrival
in
the Community and avoid any disruption to trade.

(11) Decision 2004/432/EC should therefore be amended

accordingly.
