THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1696/71 of 26 July 1971 on the common organization of the market in hops (1), as last amended by the Act of Accession of Greece (2), and in particular Article 5 (2) thereof,

Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3077/78 (3), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3093/81 (4), recognizes the equivalence with Community certificates of attestations accompanying hops imported from certain non-member countries, and contains a list of the bodies in those countries authorized to issue attestations of equivalence;

Whereas New Zealand has notified the Commission that it has authorized a further body to issue attestations of equivalence; whereas the name of that body should be added to the Annex to Regulation (EEC) No 3077/78;

Whereas a number of recent linguistic and administrative reforms in the People's Republic of China have caused the names of the two official bodies hitherto empowered to issue attestations of equivalence to change; whereas, moreover, the People's Republic of China has also notified the Commission of a third body empowered to issue attestations of equivalence; whereas the Annex to Regulation (EEC) No 3077/78 should therefore be amended accordingly;
