COMMISSION DECISION of 18 December 1991 amending Decision 86/195/EEC concerning animal health conditions and veterinary certification for imports of fresh meat from Brazil (92/76/EEC)
THE COMMISSION 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, ovine and caprine animals and swine, fresh meat or meat products from third countries (1), as last amended by Directive 91/497/EEC (2), and in particular Article 16 thereof,
Whereas the requirements as regards animal health conditions and veterinary certification for imports of fresh meat from Brazil are laid down in Commission Decision 86/195/EEC (3), as amended by Decision 87/455/EEC (4), particularly as regards foot-and-mouth disease;
Whereas the sanitary situation in particular with regard to foot-and-mouth disease of the State of Mato Grosso do Sul has been looked at by several EEC missions and been found satisfactory under certain restrictions;
Whereas the veterinary structures in the State of Mato Grosso do Sul are well organised and seem capable of giving the necessary guarantees to fulfil the requirements of Decision 86/195/EEC for the export of boned beef and certain offals to the Community;
Whereas it therefore seems necessary to modify Decision 86/195/EEC in view of authorizing imports of certain categories of fresh meat from the State of Mato Grosso do Sul, Brazil;
Whereas it is necessary, on the other hand, to take into account Commission Decision 89/3/EEC of 15 December 1988 (5) on health protection measures in connection with imports of certain fresh meat from Brazil, as last amended by Commission Decision 91/343/EEC (6), and to amend accordingly annexes A, C, D and E of Decision 86/195/EEC;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Veterinary Committee,
