In addition, an inspection visit to Brazil has revealed that substantial progress has been made by the competent authority in implementing a comprehensive residues monitoring plan for honey and that that third country now complies with Community requirements for honey. Honey should therefore be included in the list for Brazil in the Annex to Decision 2004/432/EC.
