                                                                                 (1 )
In application of the Council Directive 72 / 462 / EEC of 12 December 1972            ,
the Commission has drawn up a list of establishments ( slaughterhouses , cutting
plants , cold stores ) approved for export to the Community of fresh meat
coming from Uruguay by the Decision of 25 November 1980 , as amended by the
Decision 81 / 92 / EEC        and as last amended by the Decision 81 / 714 / EEC ^"^ .
In the context of a routine inspection foreseen ty Commission Decision
80 / 1 5 / EEC , a Community mission to this country took place during the months
of February and March 1982 ,
In six establishments previously approved it was considered that efforts made
to improve certain hygiene standards were insufficient .       These are not of a
nature warranting an immediate withdrawal of approval ; it is therefore pro­
posed to maintain the approval of the six establishments until 31 December 1982
only .
The Commission submitted the attached draft Decision to the Standing Veterinary
Committee which was not in a position to deliver a favourable opinion .             The
 Federal Republic of Germany voted against because it estimated , in view of the
results of the last inspection carried out in Argentina during the month of
March 1982 , that priority must be given to the decision concerning this country
 it is correct that a draft of this type has already been drawn up but , because
of recent events , the services of the Commission have not been in a position
to commence and complete in due time , with the Argentinian authorities , the
 information procedure which it is normal to follow before taking a decision
 concerning a third country .      The United Kingdom abstained estimating that , in
this field , all application decisions of the Directive 72 / 462 / EEC would pre­
judice the decisions which the Council has not yet taken on the modifications
 which the Commission proposed to make to this same Directive .        The other de­
 legations delivered favourable opinions .
The Commission hereby transmits the attached proposal to the Coundil in appli­
cation of the urgent emergency procedure of the Standing Veterinary Committee .

       amending the list of establishments in the Eastern Republic
       of Uruguay approved for the purpose of importing fresh meat
       into the Community
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community ,
Having regard to Council Directive 72/ 462/EEC of 12 December 1972 on
health and veterinary inspection problems upon importation of bovine
animals and swine and fresh meat from third countries ^*^ , and in partic­
ular Articles 4(1 ) and 18(1 ) ( a ) and (b ) thereof ,
Whereas a list of establishments in Uruguay , approved for the purposes
of the importation of fresh beef , veal , sheepmeat and meat of domestic
solipeds into the Community , was drawn up initially by the Commission
                                                                         (2)
Decision of 25 November 1930 , as amended by the Decision 81 / 92/EEC        ,
                                                     (3 )
and as last amended by the Decision 81 / 714/EEC
Whereas a routine inspection made in application of Article 5 of Directive
72/ 462 /EEC and Article 3 paragraph 1 of Commission Decision 80/ 15 /EEC of
21 November 1979 concerning the on- the- spot inspections to be carried
out in respect of the importation of bovine animals , swine and fresh
                                    (4)
meat from non-member countries          , has revealed that the level of hygiene
of certain establishments may be considered to be satisfactory ; whereas
 these establishments may therefore be kept on the Community list ;
 Whereas this inspection has , however , revealed in other establishments
 that in some cases insufficient effort has been made to improve hygiene
 standards , and in other cases those standards have fallen ; whereas the
 condition of these plants does not necessitate immediate withdrawal of
 approval , but does justify limiting Community approval to a certain
 period at the end of which the said approval will automatically expire
  unless , meanwhile , the necessary measures have been, put into effect and
 verified by a further on- the - spot inspection , to be requested by the
  Uruguayan authorities if they deem it necessary ;
