Whereas Commission Decision 97/222/EC (3), as amended by Decision 98/246/EC (4), lays down the list of third countries from which the Member States authorise the importation of meat products;
Whereas the animal health conditions and veterinary certification for imports of domestic animals of the bovine and porcine species from certain European countries were established by Commission Decision 98/372/EC (5), as last amended by Decision 98/505/EC (6);
Whereas due to classical swine fever persistence in the feral pig population some restrictions are established for imports of live pigs from some parts of the Czech Republic;
Whereas the same regionalisation should be applicable to imports of wild swine meat products from the Czech Republic;
