           Amendment to the proposal for a Council Decision concerning safeguard measures in the
                               veterinary field in the framework of the internal market (')
                                                     COM(90) 479 fiml
            (Submitted by the Commission pursuant to Article 149 (3) of the EEC Treaty on 8 October 1990)
                                                       (90/C 268/12)
           On 30 October 1989, the Commission sent the above proposal to the Council. In view of the
           opinion of the European Parliament, delivered during its part-session of 18 May 1990, the
           original proposal is amended as follows:
            1. the fourth recital is replaced by the following:
               'Whereas the Council has adopted a Directive concerning veterinary checks in intra-
               Community trade with a view to the completion of the internal market; whereas that
               Directive provides, in particular, for interim safeguard measures to be taken;'
           2. the seventh recital is replaced by the following:
               'Whereas, in order to give all Member States the appropriate guarantees, provision should
               be made for stricter control by the Commission to ensure strict adherence to specific plans,
               and to verify that such plans are correctly executed;'
           3. the following recital is added:
               'Whereas Community contingency plans should be established for dealing with animal
               diseases;'
           4. Article 1 (2) is replaced by the following:
               '(2)    After informing the Member State concerned, and issuing an invitation to the
               competent authorities of that Member State to accompany them, or receiving an invitation
               from the competent authorities of the Member State, representatives of the Commission
               may go at once to the place concerned. If the Commission considers that the measures
               referred to are inadequate, it shall as quickly as possible take a decision obliging the
               Member State concerned and any other party whose action is required to take such
               measures as the Commission considers justified in the light of the situation.
                3.    Contingency plans shall be established at Community level for dealing with animal
               diseases of the type specified in paragraph 1. Such plans shall be approved in accordance
               with the procedure laid down in Article 7.'
