THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 90/425/EEC of 26 June 1990 concerning the veterinary and zootechnical checks applicable to intra-Community trade in certain live animals and products with a view to the completion of the internal market (1), as last amended by Directive 92/118/EEC (2), and in particular Article 20 (3) thereof,
Whereas, in order to ensure that the Animo message is quickly understood, the Commission, by Decision 93/70/EEC (3), as amended by Decision 94/295/EC (4), has stipulated the codes to be used for animals and animal products;
Whereas, in the light of the experience gained, substantial changes have been made to the data file relating to the codes for the animals products to improve its use;
Whereas the Annex to Decision 93/70/EEC should be amended to adjust it to the corresponding data file in the new software;
Whereas the fact that certain live animals and products are included in the codification does not mean that a message has to be sent by means of the computerized Animo network;
Whereas the codification of live animals and of products will be re-examined when the decisions needed to introduce the Shift project are being adopted;
Whereas the measures laid down in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Veterinary Committee,
