(3) Those bodies, institutions or centres already approved by Member States under the old arrangements should continue to be approved and brought into line with the new requirements as soon as possible.
(4) Annexes A, C and E to Directive 92/65/EEC should therefore be amended accordingly.
(5) In order to ensure that there is an appropriate period of time for these provisions to be implemented in all Member States, a date for the implementation of this Regulation should be laid down.
(6) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
