amending Decision 2000/672/EC laying down special conditions governing imports of fishery products originating in Venezuela

(notified under document number C(2002) 3902)

(Text with EEA relevance)

(2002/833/EC)

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,

Having regard to Council Directive 91/493/EEC of 22 July 1991 laying down the health conditions for the production and the placing on the market of fishery products(1), as last amended by Directive 97/79/EC(2), and in particular Article 11(5) thereof,

Whereas:

(1) Commission Decision 2000/672/EC of 20 October 2000 laying down special conditions governing imports of fishery products originating in Venezuela(3), states that the "Servicio Autonomo de Recursos Pesqueros (SARPA) of the Ministerio de Agricultura y Cria" is to be the competent authority in Venezuela for verifying and certifying compliance of fishery and aquaculture products with the requirements of Directive 91/493/EEC.

(2) Following a restructuring of the Venezuelan administration, the competent authority for issuing health certificates for fishery products has changed to the "Instituto Nacional de la Pesca y Acuacultura (INAPESCA)". This new authority is capable of effectively verifying the application of the laws in force.

(3) Decision 2000/672/EC should therefore be amended accordingly.

(4) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
