THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Decision 95/408/EC of 22 June 1995 on the conditions for drawing up, for an interim period, provisional lists of third country establishments from which Member States are authorised to import certain products of animal origin, fishery products or live bivalve molluscs(1), as last amended by Decision 2001/4/EC(2), and in particular Article 2(4) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Commission Decision 95/343/EC of 27 July 1995 providing for the specimens of the health certificate for the importation from third countries of heat-treated milk, milk-based products and raw milk for human consumption intended to be accepted at a collection centre, standardisation centre, treatment establishment or processing establishment(3), as last amended by Decision 97/115/EC(4), lays down the health and veterinary certification requirements for imports of milk and milk products for human consumption.
(2) The former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia is listed in the Annex to Commission Decision 95/340/EC(5), as last amended by Decision 2001/743/EC(6), drawing up a provisional list of third countries from which Member States authorise imports of milk and milk products.
(3) The former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia has provided to the Commission the name of an establishment producing milk and milk products with the guarantees that this establishment fully meets the Community health requirements.
(4) The Commission has received from the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia the relevant residue monitoring plan and program for milk and milk products intended for human consumption, as required in Directive 96/23/EC(7).
(5) Commission Decision 97/252/EC(8) as last amended by Decision 2001/177/EC(9) has drawn up provisional lists of third country establishments from which the Member States authorise imports of milk and milk-based products for human consumption. These lists should therefore be amended to include the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia list of approved establishments.
(6) Following Article 2(4) of Decision 95/408/EC, those non-member countries' establishments where on-the-spot checks have not yet been carried out by the Commission but which met all the other conditions of Article 2(1) may appear on the lists. However, imports from such establishments will not be eligible for reduced physical checks.
(7) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
In the Annex to Decision 97/252/EC, the following row is added for the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia: "MK (a) País: Antigua República Yugoslava de Macedonia/Land: Den Tidligere Jugoslaviske Republik Makedonien/Land: die Ehemalige Jugoslawische Republik Mazedonien/Χώρα: Πρώην Γιουγκοσλαβική Δημοκρατία της Μακεδονίας/Country: Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia/Pays: Ancienne République yougoslave de Macédoine/Paese: ex Repubblica iugoslava di Macedonia/Land: Voormalige Joegoslavische Republiek Macedonië/País: antiga República jugoslava da Macedónia/Maa: Entinen Jugoslavian tasavalta Makedonia/Land: f.d. jugoslaviska republiken Makedonien.
