Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,

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 2001/600/EC(6), draws up lists of third countries from which Member States authorise imports of sheep and goats.
(3) In Romania 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) Following a Commission mission carried out in July 2001 it appears that the controls by the competent veterinary services of Romania and the animal health situation with regard to Brucella melitensis are satisfactory.
(5) Furthermore, Romania undertakes to comply with Annex A, Chapter 1.II(2) to Directive 91/68/EEC and therefore sheep and goats introduced onto holdings in Romania must comply with the conditions laid down in Annex A, Chapter 1.I.D to Directive 91/68/EEC.
(6) Romania therefore satisfies the conditions to be recognised as officially free of Brucellosis melitensis and Decision 97/232/EC must be amended accordingly.
(7) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Veterinary Committee,
"PART 5" of the Annex to Decision 97/232/EC is replaced by the Annex to this Decision.
This Decision shall apply from 1 January 2002.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 3030/93 of 12 October 1993 on common rules for imports of certain textile products from third countries (1), as last amended by Commission Regulation (EC) No 152/97 (2), and in particular Article 8 thereof,
Whereas for certain categories of textile products Indonesia had issued 1996 export licences for amounts in excess of its 1996 quota levels and that Indonesia is willing to adopt the necessary measures to take into account this over-licensing in the management of its exports in 1997;
Whereas, this has led to a situation where importers are unable to receive an import licence for goods which have already been paid for and shipped to the European Community and that the goods are consequently blocked in the ports of arrival;
Whereas overshipments of this type are an exceptional occurrence due to a breakdown in communication between Indonesia's central licensing office and its regional offices;
Whereas Indonesia and the European Community are currently making efforts to establish a system of control which will greatly reduce the risk of this situation reoccurring in the future;
Whereas the quantities in question are minor when compared to the total level of imports into the European Community of the corresponding products and that therefore there would be no risk of market disruption if the goods were released into free circulation;
Whereas Article 8 of Regulation (EEC) No 3030/93 allows the Commission to open up additional opportunities for imports under particular circumstances;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Textile Committee,
The following quantities shall be made available to allow the release into free circulation of products for which Indonesia has issued 1996 export licences:
