Having regard to the Treaty

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)

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 the 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.

New Caledonia and Tanzania have submitted residue
monitoring plans to the Commission for animals and
products of animal origin not currently listed in the
Annex to Decision 2004/432/EC. The evaluation of
those plans and the additional information obtained by
the Commission provide sufficient guarantees on the
residue monitoring in those third countries for
the
animals and products concerned. The relevant animals
and products of animal origin should therefore be

Costa Rica, which is currently not listed in the Annex to
Decision 2004/432/EC, has submitted a residue moni-
toring plan to the Commission concerning aquaculture
products. The evaluation of that plan and the additional
information obtained by
the Commission provide
sufficient guarantees on the residue monitoring for aqua-
third country. Aquaculture
culture products
products should therefore be included in the list
for
Costa Rica in the Annex to that Decision.

in that

South Africa was deleted with regards to several animals
and products of animal origin from the Annex of
Decision 2004/432/EC, as amended by Commission
Decision 2008/105/EC (3). However,
after providing
substantial guarantees, South Africa maintained its
entries concerning wild and farmed game,
including
ostriches. Whereas that third country has demonstrated
that the residue monitoring plan 2007/08 is being imple-
it has again failed to provide
mented for ostriches,
evidence of
the plan for wild
and farmed game, other than ostriches. The entries for
the relevant animals and products of animal origin
should therefore be deleted from the list
for South
Africa in the Annex to that Decision.

the implementation of

A Food and Veterinary Office inspection to the Republic
of Moldova has revealed serious deficiencies concerning
the implementation of the residue monitoring plan for
honey. The relevant entry for the Republic of Moldova
should therefore be deleted from the list in the annex to
that Decision. The authorities of that third country have
been informed accordingly.

A transitional period should be laid down to cover
consignments of animals and products of animal origin
originating in South Africa and the Republic of Moldova
which were dispatched from those third countries for the
this
Community before the date of application of
Decision, to cover the time needed for their arrival
in
the Community and avoid any disruption to trade.
