Whereas the system for establishing the list of third countries from which Member States may import embryos of domestic animals of the bovine species is laid down under Directive 89/556/EEC;

Whereas, while respecting the limitations arising from the adoption of the list, imports of embryos shall continue to be subject to national provisions in respect of health and veterinary inspection in so far as they are not already subject to any Community health protection measures;

Whereas the measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Veterinary Committee,

HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION: Article 1
