COMMISSION DECISION  of 28 June 1991  authorizing the Italian Republic to apply intra-Community surveillance in respect of bananas originating in certain third countries and put into free circulation in the other Member States  (Only the Italian  text is authentic)  (91/377/EEC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular the first paragraph of Article 115 thereof,
Having regard to Commission Decision 87/433/EEC of 22 July 1987, on surveillance and protective measures which Member States may be authorized to take pursuant to Article 115 of the EEC Treaty (1), and in particular Articles 1, 2 and 5 thereof;
Whereas on 12 June 1991, the Italian Government applied for authorization to apply intra-Community surveillance to imports of bananas falling within CN code 0803 00 10 originating in certain third countries other than the African, Caribbean and Pacific  (ACP) States (2) and put into free circulation in the other Member States;
Whereas the Italian Government has stated that the circumstances which led the Commission to adopt intra-Community surveillance measures in the past still prevail, namely the need to ensure the effectiveness of the commercial policy measures which Italy  applied in respect of direct imports of fresh bananas originating in certain third countries other than the ACP States in order to attain the objective laid down in Protocol 5 to the LomĂŠ Convention;
Whereas, as indicated by the Italian Govemment, in view of the serious domestic crisis in Somalia, which is disrupting exports of bananas to the Italian market from this traditional ACP supplier, imports of bananas from the dollar zone, direct or from  other Member States, need to be controlled in order to ensure that the objectives of the Protocol referred to above are achieved;
Whereas, without prejudice of a later examination of the situation, it is therefore necessary to authorize the Italian republic to apply intra-Community surveillance until 30 June 1992 to imports of the products in question,
The Italian Republic is hereby authorized to apply intra-Community surveillance until 30 June 1992 to imports of bananas falling within CN code 0803 00 10 originating in the third countries listed in the Annex and put into free circulation in  the other Member States, in accordance with Decision 87/433/EEC.
This decision is addressed to the Italian Republic.

Whereas the checks provided for in Directive 91/493/EEC to prevent fishery products which are unfit  for human consumption from being placed on the market may comprise certain chemical checks  including checking total volatile basic nitrogen (TVB-N);
Whereas it is necessary to set levels of TVB-N which are not to be exceeded in the case of certain  species categories and to specify the analysis methods to be used;
Whereas the analysis methods which are scientifically recognized for checking TVB-N must continue  to be used as a matter of routine but it is advisable to specify a reference method which may be  used in case of doubt regarding the results or in the event of dispute;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the  Standing Veterinary Committee,
Unprocessed fishery products belonging to the species categories  listed in Annex I shall be regarded as unfit for human consumption where, organoleptic assessment  having raised doubts as to their freshness, chemical checks reveal that the following TVB-N limits  are exceeded:
1.  25 milligrams of nitrogen/100 grams of flesh for the species referred to in point A of Annex  I;
2.  30 milligrams of nitrogen/100 grams of flesh for the species referred to in point B of Annex  I;
3.  35 milligrams of nitrogen/100 grams of flesh for the species referred to in point C of Annex  I.
1.  The reference method to be used for checking the TVB-N limit is the method  involving distillation of an extract deproteinized by perchloric acid set out in Annex II.
2.  Distillation as referred to in paragraph 1 must be performed using apparatus which complies  with the principles of the diagram in Annex III.
3.  The routine methods which may be used to check the TVB-N limit are as follows:
-  microdiffusion method described by Conway and Byrne (1933),
-  direct distillation method described by Antonacopoulos (1968),
-  distillation of an extract deproteinized by trichloracetic acid (Codex Alimentarius Committee on  Fish and Fishery Products (1968)).
4.  The sample must consist of about one hundred grams of flesh, taken from at least three  different points and mixed together by grinding.
Member States shall recommend to official laboratories the use, as a matter of routine,  of the reference method referred to in Article 2 (1). In case of doubt or in the event of dispute  regarding the results of analysis performed by one of the routine methods only the reference method  may be used to check the results.
This Decision is addressed to the Member States.
