                               EXPLANATORY NOTE
   In application of the Council Directive of 12 December 1971 > the Commission must
  draw up a list of establishments ( abattoirs , cutting plants , cold stores ) approved
  for export to the Community of fresh meat of bovine animals , swine , sheep , goats
  and of domestic solipeds .
  For the purpose of drawing up this list , a Community mission visited Hungary
  during the months of November and December 1981                     and , on the basis
  of information gathered on–the–spot , it is proposed to draw up a list of establish­
  ments approved for the Community as a whole (having regard to the animal health
  provisions adopted elsewhere , the intra-Community provisions in force for Denmark ,
  Ireland and the United Kingdom for Northern Ireland as well as provisions concerning
  fields not yet covered by Community rules ).
                                  I
  It consists of a first list which must be very soon supplemented following a now
  inspection mission made at the request of the Third Country concerned , involving
  establishments which this country regards as being able to conform with Community
  provisions in a short time .
; 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 prejudice . the decisions which the Council has not yet
  taken on the modifications which the Commission proposed to make to this same
  Directive . Denmark               also abstained. The other delegations delivered
  favourable opinions .
  The Commission hereby transmits the attached proposal to the Coijpicil in application
  of the procedure of the Standing Veterinary Committee laid down in Article 29 of
  Directive 72/462/EEC.

                                COUNCIL DECISION
      on the List of establishments in the Hungarian People 's Republic
      approved for the purposes 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
                                                             (1)
animals and swine and fresh meat from third countries            , and in par­
ticular Articles 4(1 ) and 18(1)(a ) and ( b ) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission ,
Whereas establishments in third countries cannot be authorized to export
fresh meat to the Community unless they satisfy the general and special
conditions laid down in Directive 72 / 462 / EEC ;
Whereas the Hungarian People 's Republic has forwarded, in accordance
with Article 4(3 ) of Directive 72 / 462/ EEC , a list of the establishments
authorized to export to the Community;
Whereas ' Communi ty on -the - spot visits have shown that the hygiene standards
of many of these establishments are sufficient and they may therefore be
entered on a first list , drawn up           according to Article 4(1 ) of the
said Directive , of establishments from which importation of fresh meat
may be authorised ;
Whereas the case of the other establishments proposed by Hungary must
be reexamined on the basis of additional information regarding their
hygiene standards and their ability to adapt quickly to the Community
rules ,

 Whereas , in the meantime and so as to avoid any abrupt interruption of
 existing trade flows , these establishments may be authorized temporarily
 to continue their exports of fresh meat to those Member States prepared
 to accept them ;
 Whereas it wi ll - therefore be necessary to reexamine arvd, if necessary,
 amend this Decision in the light of measures taken to this end and
 improvements made ;
 Whereas it should be recalled that imports of fresh meat are also sub­
 ject to other Community veterinary 'rules ,        particularly as regards
 health protection requirements , including the special provisions for
 Denmark , Ireland and the United Kingdom ;
                           for the
 Whereas the conditions /     importation of fresh meat from establishments
 appearing on the li s *- annexed to this        Decision remain subject to
 provisions laid down elsewhere and to the general provisions of the
 Treaty ; whereas in particular , the importation from third countries and
 the re-exportation to other Member States of certain categories of meat ,
 such as cuts' weighing less than 3 kg , or meat containing residues of
 certain substances which are not yet covered by harmonized Community
 rules , remain subject to the health legislation of the importing Member
State ;
Whereas , since the Standing Veterinary Committee has not given a favourable opinion ,
                               ι
the Commission is unable to adopt the provisions it had envisaged on this
matter under the procedure provided 'for in Article 29 of the Directive refer­
red
