Whereas:
(1) Directive 64/432/EEC lays down rules applicable to trade in the Union in bovine animals and swine. Article 9 of that Directive lays down criteria for the approval of compulsory national control programmes for certain contagious diseases, including Aujeszky’s disease. In addition, Article 10 of that Directive provides that where a Member State considers its territory or part thereof to be free of such diseases, including Aujeszky’s disease, it is to present appropriate supporting documentation to the Commission.
(2) Commission Decision 2008/185/EC of 21 February 2008 on additional guarantees in intra-Community trade of pigs relating to Aujeszky’s disease and criteria to provide information on this disease (2) lays down the additional guarantees for movements of pigs between Member States. Those guarantees are linked to the classification of Member States according to their Aujeszky’s disease status.
(3) Annex I to Decision 2008/185/EC lists Member States or regions thereof which are free of Aujeszky’s disease and where vaccination is prohibited. Annex II to that Decision lists Member States or regions thereof where approved national control programmes for the eradication of Aujeszky’s disease are in place.
(4) Belgium is currently listed in Annex II to Decision 2008/185/EC, as a Member State where approved national control programmes for the eradication of Aujeszky’s disease have been implemented.
(5) Belgium has now submitted documentation in support of its application to declare that Member State free from Aujeszky’s disease.
(6) Following the evaluation of the supporting documentation submitted by that Member State, it is appropriate that Belgium be no longer listed in Annex II to Decision 2008/185/EC, but instead be listed in Annex I thereto.
(7) Decision 2008/185/EC should therefore be amended accordingly.
(8) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
Annexes I and II to Decision 2008/185/EC are replaced by the text in the Annex to this Decision.

COMMISSION DECISION of 19 October 1995  concerning a request for exemption lodged by the United Kingdom pursuant to Article 8 (2) (c) of  Council Directive 70/156/EEC on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to the  type-approval of motor vehicles and their trailers (Only the English text is authentic) (95/459/EC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 70/156/EEC of 6 February 1970 on the approximation of the laws  of the Member States relating to the type-approval of motor vehicles and their trailers  (1), as  last amended by Commission Directive 93/81/EEC  (2),
Whereas on 30 August 1994 the United Kingdom authorities lodged a request for approval, by the  Commission, of an exemption pursuant to Article 8 (2) (c) of Directive 70/156/EEC; whereas this  request was accompanied by a report containing the information required by the abovementioned  Article 8; whereas this request concerns the fitting of outside rear-view mirrors to a particular  type of vehicle, namely a motor vehicle with a reclined fixed-back driver's seat located at the  centre of the vehicle;
Whereas the reasons stated, whereby the fitting of an outside rear-view mirror to this particular  type of vehicle does not meet the requirements of Commission Directive 88/321/EEC  (3),  particularly with regard to the driver's field of vision, are justified; whereas the descriptions  of the tests, the results thereof and the action taken in order to ensure road safety are  satisfactory and ensure a level of safety equivalent to that provided by the Directive in force;
Whereas the Directive concerned will be amended in order, inter alia, to enable outside rear-view  mirrors to be fitted correctly to vehicles with the driver's seat located in a central position;  whereas, this being the case, it is therefore justified to allow the type of vehicle covered by  this request for an exemption to benefit immediately from the granting of EC type-approval;
Whereas the measure provided for in this Decision is in accordance with the opinion of the  Committee for the adaptation to technical progress of the Directives for the removal of technical  barriers to trade in the motor vehicles sector, as set up by Council Directive 70/156/EEC,
The Commission hereby approves the request lodged by the United  Kingdom on 30 August 1994, pursuant to Article 8 (2) (c) of Directive 70/156/EEC, for an exemption  concerning the fitting of outside rear-view mirrors to a type of vehicle with a reclined fixed-back  driver's seat located at the centre of the vehicle with a view to granting EC type-approval.
This Decision is addressed to the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern  Ireland.
