Whereas this measure has to be limited initially to a short period, and shall be reexamined during this period, in order to verify with the Iranian authorities, whether they are in a position to offer, in the future, guarantees permitting the replacement of the suspension of imports with the establishment of special conditions, in accordance with Article 10, paragraph 1, second indent of Directive 93/43/EEC;
Whereas it is necessary to submit for systematic analyses lots of pistachios originating in or consigned from third countries other than Iran, in order to determine if these are also contaminated with Aflatoxin B1 and require safeguard measures; whereas co-ordinated official control programmes for foodstuffs shall be completed to this end;
Whereas Member States have been consulted,
Member States shall suspend imports of:
- pistachios falling within CN code 0802 50 00,
- roasted pistachios falling within CN codes 2008 19 13 and 2008 19 93

The present decision shall be re-examined:
- within one month,
- and, if necessary, again after two months

This Decision is applicable until 15 December 1997.
This Decision is addressed to the Member States.

Whereas:
(1) Directive 64/432/EEC lays down rules applicable to intra-Community trade in bovine animals and swine. Article 9 of that Directive provides criteria for approving compulsory national control programmes for certain contagious diseases, including Aujeszky’s disease.

In the table appearing in Article 1 of Regulation (EEC) No 3914/92, the amount of quota of 400 000 pieces entered opposite Order No 09.2797 shall be replaced by 800 000 pieces.
