COMMISSION DECISION
of 2 February 2007
on emergency measures suspending imports from the Republic of Guinea of fishery products intended for human consumption
(notified under document number C(2007) 278)
(Text with EEA relevance)
(2007/82/EC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,

Whereas:
(1) A recent inspection by Commission services in the Republic of Guinea has revealed serious hygiene shortcomings throughout the production chain of fishery products. These shortcomings include inadequate cold chain, use of non-potable water and poor sanitary conditions of vessels and establishments. Such deficiencies are likely to lead to the presence of harmful contamination in fishery products intended for human consumption, thus presenting a serious risk to consumer health.
(2) The inspection visit has also revealed a lack of proper sanitary controls by the competent authorities in the Republic of Guinea, which exacerbates the situation.
(3) It is therefore necessary to suspend imports of fishery products, as defined in Regulation (EC) No 853/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council (2) from the Republic of Guinea with immediate effect. Considering the seriousness of the shortcomings identified during the inspection, the suspension should also apply to fishery products that have been dispatched to the Community before this Decision takes effect but which have not yet been introduced into the Community.
(4) This Decision is to be reviewed in the light of guarantees offered by the Republic of Guinea and on the basis of a positive outcome of a new inspection by the Commission services.
(5) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
Scope
This Decision shall apply to all fishery products originating from the Republic of Guinea and intended for human consumption.
Prohibition
Member States shall prohibit the import on their territory of the products referred to in Article 1.
That prohibition shall apply to all consignments of products received at border inspection posts in the Community whether or not the consignments were produced, stored or certified in the country of origin before this Decision takes effect.
Charging of expenditure
All expenditure incurred in the application of this Decision shall be charged to the consignee or his agent.
Compliance
Member States shall immediately inform the Commission of the measures they take to comply with this Decision.
Addressees
This Decision is addressed to the Member States.
