COMMISSION DECISION
of 14 July 1989
amending Decision 89/3/EEC in regard to health protection measures in connection with imports of certain fresh meat from the States of Santa Catarina and Parana, Brazil
(89/447/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 animals and swine and fresh meat or meat products from third countries (1), as last amended by Directive 89/227/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), with particular reference to the situation of foot-and-mouth disease obtaining in Brazil at that time;
Whereas this situation led to the adoption by Decision 89/3/EEC (5) of health protection measures in connection with imports of certain fresh meat from Brazil which will apply from 1 March 1989;
Whereas the last on-the-spot check by Community inspectors showed that the situation in the States of Santa Catarina and Parana had improved;
Whereas Decision 89/3/EEC should therefore be amended so that Member States can again authorize importation of fresh meat of bovine animals from the States of Santa Catarina and Parana;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Veterinary Committee,
HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:
Article 1
The reference to the States of Santa Catarina and Parana, in Article 1 of Decision 89/3/EEC is deleted.
