(notified under document number C(2002) 3671)
(Text with EEA relevance)
(2002/789/EC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 90/539/EEC of 15 October 1990 on animal health conditions governing intra-Community trade in, and imports from third countries of poultry and hatching eggs(1), as last amended by Commission Decision 2001/867/EC(2), and in particular Article 21(1) and Article 23(1)b thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Commission Decision 2001/751/EC(3) lays down the animal health conditions and veterinary certification for imports of live ratites and hatching eggs from third countries including animal health measures to be applied after such importation, and lists the third countries from where such imports may be authorised.
(2) An inspection carried out by the Commission in Botswana in May 2001 has shown that sufficiently well-structured and organised veterinary services are in place in Botswana regarding the animal health status for ratites. However, the legislation in Botswana did not fully include the requirement for official notification of avian influenza.
(3) Botswana has now amended its legislation to ensure that avian influenza is to be notified to the competent authority.
(4) It is therefore appropriate to permit importation of live ratites and hatching eggs from Botswana.
(5) Decision 2001/751/EC should therefore be amended accordingly.
(6) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
Annex I to Decision 2001/751/EC is replaced by the text in the Annex to this Decision.
This Decision shall apply from 18 October 2002.
This Decision is addressed to the Member States.

(notified under document number C(2003) 508)

(2003/111/EC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 72/462/EEC of 12 December 1972 on health and veterinary inspection problems upon importation of bovine, ovine and caprine animals and swine, fresh meat and meat products from third countries(1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1452/2001(2), and in particular Article 3(1) and Article 8 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Council Directive 91/68/EEC(3), as last amended by Commission Decision 2001/10/EC(4), lays down the animal health conditions governing intra-Community trade in ovine and caprine animals.
(2) Commission Decision 97/232/EC(5), as last amended by Decision 2002/3/EC(6), draws up lists of third countries from which Member States authorise imports of sheep and goats.
(3) In Hungary Brucellosis melitensis has been a notifiable disease for at least five years, no case has been officially confirmed for at least five years and vaccination has been banned for at least three years; therefore this country complies with the requirements laid down in Annex A, Chapter 1(II)(1)(b), to Directive 91/68/EEC.
(4) Furthermore Hungary undertakes to comply with Annex A, Chapter 1(II)(2), to Directive 91/68/EEC and therefore sheep and goats introduced onto holdings in Hungary must comply with the conditions laid down in Annex A, Chapter 1(I)(D), to Directive 91/68/EEC.
(5) Hungary therefore satisfies the conditions to be recognised as officially free of Brucellosis melitensis and Decision 97/232/EC must be amended accordingly.
(6) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
Part 5 of the Annex to Decision 97/232/EC is replaced by the Annex to this Decision.
This Decision shall apply as of 11 March 2003.
