COMMISSION DECISION of 21 April 1995 laying down the transitional  measures to be applied by Sweden with regard to veterinary checks on live animals entering Sweden  from third countries (95/157/EC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 90/675/EEC of 10 December 1990 laying down the principles  governing the organization of veterinary checks on products entering the Community from third  countries  (1), as last amended by the Act of Accession of Austria, Finland and Sweden, and in  particular Article 30 thereof,
Having regard to Council Directive 91/496/EEC of 15 July 1991 laying down the principles governing  the organization of veterinary checks on animals entering the Community from third countries and  amending Directives 89/662/EEC, 90/425/EEC and 90/675/EEC  (2), as last amended by the Act of  Accession of Austria, Finland and Sweden, and in particular Article 28 thereof,
Whereas the Member States need to implement transitional measures concerning border inspection  posts for both livestock products and live animals; whereas, in this respect, Commission Decision  94/24/EC  (3) establishes a list of preselected border inspection posts;
Whereas Sweden must also be able to implement such transitional measures; whereas a list of  preselected border inspection posts for Sweden must therefore be established;
Whereas Sweden does not yet have enough suitable infrastructure for checking live animals and  livestock products along its land border with Norway; whereas provision should therefore be made  for specific transitional measures for that border;
Whereas, in the context of these measures, it is necessary to define the inspection sites linked to  crossing points on the external border; whereas, therefore, the relevant provisions of Chapter I of  Directive 91/496/EEC and Chapter I of Directive 90/675/EEC must be adjusted;
Whereas the purpose of the measures laid down in this Decision is to ensure that all the checks  provided for are carried out by the Swedish authorities;
Whereas this Decision should be adopted without prejudice to the implementation, where necessary,  of the relevant provisions of Article 9 of Directive 90/675/EEC and Article 6 of Directive  91/496/EEC;
Whereas, in the interests of clarity, all the transitional measures to be implemented by Sweden  should be adopted in a single decision;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the  Standing Veterinary Committee,
