Whereas, following a Community veterinary mission and the information received, it appears that the animal health situation in Chile is excellent, stable and completely controlled by well structured and organized veterinary services, particularly as regards diseases transmissible through meat;
Whereas, in addition, the responsible veterinary authorities of Chile have confirmed that Chile has for at least 12 months been free from rinderpest and foot-and-mouth disease and that no vaccinations have been carried out against those diseases during that time;
Whereas the responsible veterinary authorities of Chile have undertaken to notify the Commission of the European Communities and the Member States, by telex or telegram, within 24 hours at the latest, of the confirmation of the occurrence of any of the abovementioned diseases or the adoption of vaccination against any of them;
Whereas animal health conditions and veterinary certification must be adopted according to the animal health situation of the non-member country concerned;

(5) Regulation (EC) No 21/2002 should therefore be amended accordingly.
(6) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Cereals,
