COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 1055/2008
of 27 October 2008
implementing Regulation (EC) No 184/2005 of the European Parliament and of the Council, as regards quality criteria and quality reporting for balance of payments statistics
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 184/2005 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 12 January 2005 on Community statistics concerning balance of payments, international trade in services and foreign direct investment (1), and in particular Article 4(3) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) |
Regulation (EC) No 184/2005 establishes a common framework for the systematic production of Community statistics concerning balance of payments, international trade in services and foreign direct investment. |
(2) |
It is necessary to specify the common quality standards, as well as the content and periodicity of the quality reports, in accordance with Article 4(3) of Regulation (EC) No 184/2005. |
(3) |
The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Balance of Payments Committee set up by Regulation (EC) No 184/2005, |
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
Member States shall supply on an annual basis a quality report drawn up in accordance with the rules laid down in the Annex.
Article 2
Member States shall supply their quality reports by 30 November every year.
Article 3
This Regulation shall enter into force on the 20th day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.
Done at Brussels, 27 October 2008.

Joaquín ALMUNIA
Member of the Commission
ANNEX
1. Introduction
The quality report shall contain both quantitative and qualitative indicators of quality. The Commission (Eurostat) shall provide the results of the quantitative indicators for each Member State, calculated on the basis of data provided. Member States shall interpret and comment them, in the light of their collection methodology.
2. Timeline
— |
Every year, the Commission (Eurostat) shall supply the Member States by the end of October with draft documents for quality reports, partially pre-filled with most quantitative indicators and other information available to the Commission (Eurostat). |
— |
Every year, Member States shall supply the Commission (Eurostat) by 30 November with the completed quality reports. |
3. Quality criteria
The following quality criteria have been identified as relevant: timeliness and coverage of data, methodological soundness, stability, plausibility, consistency and accuracy. The component ‘accuracy’, though conceptually relevant, will be treated separately, as a side-component, as it is related to quality on the input side.
3.1. Timeliness and coverage of data transmitted to the Commission (Eurostat)
This component refers to adherence to the deadlines for data transmission as well as availability of data according to the reference periods and geographical, item and activity breakdowns.
3.2. Methodological soundness
Methodological soundness refers to compliance with internationally accepted standards, guidelines and good practices.
This component will include a limited number of questions, varying from year to year, in the area of methodology, and will focus on compliance with internationally agreed standards. Member States will also describe the major methodological changes that have taken place during the reference period and how they affect the data quality.
3.3. Stability
Stability refers to the closeness of the initial estimated value to the final value.
This consists of examining the size of the revisions, their direction and the conformity between the trends derived from the initial and final estimates.
3.4. Plausibility
Plausibility refers to the absence of unexplained changes.
Member States shall evaluate their internal control procedures (strengths and weaknesses) and describe further plans for improvement.
3.5. Consistency
Consistency analyses coherence both within the dataset delivered (internal consistency) and with other relevant datasets of a similar nature (external consistency).
3.6. Accuracy
Accuracy refers to the closeness of the (final) estimate to the true population value.
It will contain a descriptive analysis of the main challenges to improve data coverage, based on a set of parameters. This criterion will be treated as an additional quality component and will not be taken into account for the overall quality assessment.

COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 1056/2008
of 27 October 2008
amending Regulation (EC) No 2042/2003 on the continuing airworthiness of aircraft and aeronautical products, parts and appliances, and on the approval of organisations and personnel involved in these tasks
(Text with EEA relevance)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, in particular Article 80(2) thereof,
Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 216/2008 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 20 February 2008 on common rules in the field of civil aviation and establishing a European Aviation Safety Agency, and repealing Council Directive 91/670/EEC, Regulation (EC) No 1592/2002 and Directive 2004/36/EC (1), and in particular Article 5(5) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) |
In accordance with Article 7(6) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 2042/2003 of 20 November 2003 on the continuing airworthiness of aircraft and aeronautical products, parts and appliances, and on the approval of organisations and personnel involved in these tasks (2), the European Aviation Safety Agency (hereinafter the Agency) has made an evaluation of the implication of the provisions of Annex I (Part-M) to that Regulation. |
(2) |
The Agency has concluded that the current provisions of Annex I (Part-M) to Regulation (EC) No 2042/2003 are too stringent for aircraft not involved in commercial air transport, in particular for aircraft that are not classified as ‘complex motor-powered aircraft’. |
(3) |
Due to the expiration of the period during which Member States had the possibility to apply derogation for aircraft not involved in commercial air transport, as provided in Article 7(3)(a) of Regulation (EC) No 2042/2003, which most Member States have actually applied, the provisions of Annex I (Part-M) shall be fully applied in all Member States from 28 September 2008, unless changes are adopted in due time. |
(4) |
The Agency has advised making significant amendments to Regulation (EC) No 2042/2003, and in particular to Annex I (Part-M) thereof, in order to adapt the existing requirements to the complexity of the different categories of aircraft and the types of operations without impairing the level of safety. |
(5) |
In order to allow the competent authorities of the Member States and the interested parties to become sufficiently acquainted with the new requirements of Part M, and to adapt themselves thereto, Member States should be allowed to defer the application of Part M to aircraft not involved in commercial air transport for an additional period of one or two years, depending on the provisions concerned. |
(6) |
Regulation (EC) No 2042/2003 should therefore be amended accordingly. |
(7) |
The provisions of this Regulation take into account the Communication from the Commission of 11 January 2008, ‘An Agenda for sustainable Future in General and Business Aviation’ (3). |
(8) |
The measures provided for in this Regulation are based on the opinion issued by the Agency in accordance with Articles 17(2)(b) and 19(1) of Regulation (EC) No 216/2008. |
(9) |
The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee established by Article 65 of the Regulation (EC) No 216/2008, |
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
Regulation (EC) No 2042/2003 is amended as follows:
1. |
In Article 2 the following points (k) and (l) are added:
|
2. |
In Article 3, the following paragraph 4 is added: ‘4. For aircraft not used in commercial air transport, any airworthiness review certificate or equivalent document issued in accordance with the Member State requirements and valid on 28 September 2008 shall be valid until its expiration date or until 28 September 2009, whichever comes first. After the expiration of its validity, the competent authority may further re-issue or extend one time the airworthiness review certificate or equivalent document for one year, if allowed by the Member State requirements. Upon further expiration, the competent authority may further re-issue or extend one more time the airworthiness review certificate or equivalent document for one year, if allowed by the Member State requirements. No further re-issuance or extension is allowed. If the provisions of this point have been used, when transferring the registration of the aircraft within the EU, a new airworthiness review certificate shall be issued in accordance with M.A.904.’ |
3. |
In Article 4, the following point 4 is added: ‘4. Certificates of release to service and authorised release certificates issued before the date of entry into force of this Regulation by a maintenance organisation approved under the Member State requirements shall be deemed equivalent to those required under points M.A.801 and M.A.802 of Annex I (Part-M) respectively.’ |
4. |
In Article 5 paragraph 1 is replaced by the following: ‘1. Certifying staff shall be qualified in accordance with the provisions of Annex III, except as provided for in points M.A.606(h), M.A.607(b), M.A.801(d) and M.A.803 of Annex I and in point 145.A.30(j) of Annex II (Part 145) and Appendix IV to Annex II (Part 145).’ |
5. |
Article 7 is amended as follows:

6. |
Annexes I and II are amended in accordance with the Annex to this Regulation. |

DIRECTIVE 2008/94/EC OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL
of 22 October 2008
on the protection of employees in the event of the insolvency of their employer
(Codified version)
(Text with EEA relevance)
THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 137(2) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Having regard to the opinion of the European Economic and Social Committee (1),
After consultation of the Committee of the Regions,
Acting in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 251 of the Treaty (2),
Whereas:
(1) |
Council Directive 80/987/EEC of 20 October 1980 on the protection of employees in the event of the insolvency of their employer (3) has been substantially amended several times (4). In the interests of clarity and rationality the said Directive should be codified. |
(2) |
The Community Charter of Fundamental Social Rights for Workers adopted on 9 December 1989 states, in point 7, that the completion of the internal market must lead to an improvement in the living and working conditions of workers in the Community and that this improvement must cover, where necessary, the development of certain aspects of employment regulations such as procedures for collective redundancies and those regarding bankruptcies. |
(3) |
It is necessary to provide for the protection of employees in the event of the insolvency of their employer and to ensure a minimum degree of protection, in particular in order to guarantee payment of their outstanding claims, while taking account of the need for balanced economic and social development in the Community. To this end, the Member States should establish a body which guarantees payment of the outstanding claims of the employees concerned. |
(4) |
In order to ensure equitable protection for the employees concerned, the state of insolvency should be defined in the light of the legislative trends in the Member States and that concept should also include insolvency proceedings other than liquidation. In this context, Member States should, in order to determine the liability of the guarantee institution, be able to lay down that where an insolvency situation results in several insolvency proceedings, the situation is to be treated as a single insolvency procedure. |
(5) |
It should be ensured that the employees referred to in Council Directive 97/81/EC of 15 December 1997 concerning the Framework Agreement on part-time work concluded by UNICE, CEEP and the ETUC (5), Council Directive 1999/70/EC of 28 June 1999 concerning the framework agreement on fixed-term work concluded by the ETUC, UNICE and CEEP (6) and Council Directive 91/383/EEC of 25 June 1991 supplementing the measures to encourage improvements in the safety and health at work of workers with a fixed-duration employment relationship or a temporary employment relationship (7) are not excluded from the scope of this Directive. |
(6) |
In order to ensure legal certainty for employees in the event of insolvency of undertakings pursuing their activities in a number of Member States, and to strengthen employees’ rights in line with the established case-law of the Court of Justice of the European Communities, provisions should be laid down which expressly state which institution is responsible for meeting pay claims in these cases and establish as the aim of cooperation between the competent administrative authorities of the Member States the early settlement of employees’ outstanding claims. Furthermore it is necessary to ensure that the relevant arrangements are properly implemented by making provision for collaboration between the competent administrative authorities in the Member States. |
(7) |
Member States may set limitations on the responsibility of the guarantee institutions. Those limitations must be compatible with the social objective of the Directive and may take into account the different levels of claims. |
(8) |
In order to make it easier to identify insolvency proceedings, in particular in situations with a cross-border dimension, provision should be made for the Member States to notify the Commission and the other Member States about the types of insolvency proceedings which give rise to intervention by the guarantee institution. |
(9) |
Since the objective of the action to be taken cannot be sufficiently achieved by the Member States and can therefore be better achieved at Community level, the Community may adopt measures, in accordance with the principle of subsidiarity as set out in Article 5 of the Treaty. In accordance with the principle of proportionality, as set out in that Article, this Directive does not go beyond what is necessary in order to achieve that objective. |
(10) |
The Commission should submit to the European Parliament and the Council a report on the implementation and application of this Directive in particular as regards the new forms of employment emerging in the Member States. |
(11) |
This Directive should be without prejudice to the obligations of the Member States relating to the time-limits for transposition into national law and application of the Directives set out in Annex I, Part C, |
HAVE ADOPTED THIS DIRECTIVE:
CHAPTER I
SCOPE AND DEFINITIONS
Article 1
1. This Directive shall apply to employees’ claims arising from contracts of employment or employment relationships and existing against employers who are in a state of insolvency within the meaning of Article 2(1).
2. Member States may, by way of exception, exclude claims by certain categories of employee from the scope of this Directive, by virtue of the existence of other forms of guarantee if it is established that these offer the persons concerned a degree of protection equivalent to that resulting from this Directive.
3. Where such provision already applies in their national legislation, Member States may continue to exclude from the scope of this Directive:
(a) |
domestic servants employed by a natural person; |
(b) |
share-fishermen. |
Article 2
1. For the purposes of this Directive, an employer shall be deemed to be in a state of insolvency where a request has been made for the opening of collective proceedings based on insolvency of the employer, as provided for under the laws, regulations and administrative provisions of a Member State, and involving the partial or total divestment of the employer’s assets and the appointment of a liquidator or a person performing a similar task, and the authority which is competent pursuant to the said provisions has:
(a) |
either decided to open the proceedings; or |
(b) |
established that the employer’s undertaking or business has been definitively closed down and that the available assets are insufficient to warrant the opening of the proceedings. |
2. This Directive is without prejudice to national law as regards the definition of the terms ‘employee’, ‘employer’, ‘pay’, ‘right conferring immediate entitlement’ and ‘right conferring prospective entitlement’.
However, the Member States may not exclude from the scope of this Directive:
(a) |
part-time employees within the meaning of Directive 97/81/EC; |
(b) |
employees with a fixed-term contract within the meaning of Directive 1999/70/EC; |
(c) |
employees with a temporary employment relationship within the meaning of Article 1(2) of Directive 91/383/EEC. |
3. Member States may not set a minimum duration for the contract of employment or the employment relationship in order for employees to qualify for claims under this Directive.
4. This Directive does not prevent Member States from extending employee protection to other situations of insolvency, for example where payments have been de facto stopped on a permanent basis, established by proceedings different from those mentioned in paragraph 1 as provided for under national law.
Such procedures shall not however create a guarantee obligation for the institutions of the other Member States in the cases referred to in Chapter IV.
CHAPTER II
PROVISIONS CONCERNING GUARANTEE INSTITUTIONS
Article 3
Member States shall take the measures necessary to ensure that guarantee institutions guarantee, subject to Article 4, payment of employees’ outstanding claims resulting from contracts of employment or employment relationships, including, where provided for by national law, severance pay on termination of employment relationships.
The claims taken over by the guarantee institution shall be the outstanding pay claims relating to a period prior to and/or, as applicable, after a given date determined by the Member States.
Article 4
1. Member States shall have the option to limit the liability of the guarantee institutions referred to in Article 3.
2. If Member States exercise the option referred to in paragraph 1, they shall specify the length of the period for which outstanding claims are to be met by the guarantee institution. However, this may not be shorter than a period covering the remuneration of the last three months of the employment relationship prior to and/or after the date referred to in the second paragraph of Article 3.
Member States may include this minimum period of three months in a reference period with a duration of not less than six months.
Member States having a reference period of not less than 18 months may limit the period for which outstanding claims are met by the guarantee institution to eight weeks. In this case, those periods which are most favourable to the employee shall be used for the calculation of the minimum period.
3. Member States may set ceilings on the payments made by the guarantee institution. These ceilings must not fall below a level which is socially compatible with the social objective of this Directive.
If Member States exercise this option, they shall inform the Commission of the methods used to set the ceiling.
Article 5
Member States shall lay down detailed rules for the organisation, financing and operation of the guarantee institutions, complying with the following principles in particular:
(a) |
the assets of the institutions must be independent of the employers’ operating capital and be inaccessible to proceedings for insolvency; |
(b) |
employers must contribute to financing, unless it is fully covered by the public authorities; |
(c) |
the institutions’ liabilities must not depend on whether or not obligations to contribute to financing have been fulfilled. |
CHAPTER III
PROVISIONS CONCERNING SOCIAL SECURITY
Article 6
Member States may stipulate that Articles 3, 4 and 5 shall not apply to contributions due under national statutory social security schemes or under supplementary occupational or inter-occupational pension schemes outside the national statutory social security schemes.
Article 7
Member States shall take the measures necessary to ensure that non-payment of compulsory contributions due from the employer, before the onset of his insolvency, to their insurance institutions under national statutory social security schemes does not adversely affect employees’ benefit entitlement in respect of these insurance institutions in so far as the employees’ contributions have been deducted at source from the remuneration paid.
Article 8
Member States shall ensure that the necessary measures are taken to protect the interests of employees and of persons having already left the employer’s undertaking or business at the date of the onset of the employer’s insolvency in respect of rights conferring on them immediate or prospective entitlement to old-age benefits, including survivors’ benefits, under supplementary occupational or inter-occupational pension schemes outside the national statutory social security schemes.
CHAPTER IV
PROVISIONS CONCERNING TRANSNATIONAL SITUATIONS
Article 9
1. If an undertaking with activities in the territories of at least two Member States is in a state of insolvency within the meaning of Article 2(l), the institution responsible for meeting employees’ outstanding claims shall be that in the Member State in whose territory they work or habitually work.
2. The extent of employees’ rights shall be determined by the law governing the competent guarantee institution.
3. Member States shall take the measures necessary to ensure that, in the cases referred to in paragraph 1 of this Article, decisions taken in the context of insolvency proceedings referred to in Article 2(1), which have been requested in another Member State, are taken into account when determining the employer’s state of insolvency within the meaning of this Directive.
Article 10
1. For the purposes of implementing Article 9, Member States shall make provision for the sharing of relevant information between their competent administrative authorities and/or the guarantee institutions mentioned in the first paragraph of Article 3, making it possible in particular to inform the guarantee institution responsible for meeting the employees’ outstanding claims.
2. Member States shall notify the Commission and the other Member States of the contact details of their competent administrative authorities and/or guarantee institutions. The Commission shall make that information publicly accessible.
CHAPTER V
GENERAL AND FINAL PROVISIONS
Article 11
This Directive shall not affect the option of Member States to apply or introduce laws, regulations or administrative provisions which are more favourable to employees.
Implementation of this Directive shall not under any circumstances be sufficient grounds for a regression in relation to the current situation in the Member States and in relation to the general level of protection of employees in the area covered by it.
Article 12
This Directive shall not affect the option of Member States:
(a) |
to take the measures necessary to avoid abuses; |
(b) |
to refuse or reduce the liability referred to in the first paragraph of Article 3 or the guarantee obligation referred to in Article 7 if it appears that fulfilment of the obligation is unjustifiable because of the existence of special links between the employee and the employer and of common interests resulting in collusion between them; |
(c) |
to refuse or reduce the liability referred to in the first paragraph of Article 3 or the guarantee obligation referred to in Article 7 in cases where the employee, on his or her own or together with his or her close relatives, was the owner of an essential part of the employer’s undertaking or business and had a considerable influence on its activities. |

Member States shall notify the Commission and the other Member States of the types of national insolvency proceedings falling within the scope of this Directive, and of any amendments relating thereto.
The Commission shall publish these communications in the Official Journal of the European Union.

By 8 October 2010 at the latest, the Commission shall submit to the European Parliament and to the Council a report on the implementation and application in the Member States of Articles 1 to 4, 9 and 10, Article 11, second paragraph, Article 12, point (c), and Articles 13 and 14.
Article 16
Directive 80/987/EEC, as amended by the acts listed in Annex I, is repealed, without prejudice to the obligations of the Member States relating to the time-limits for transposition into national law and application of the Directives set out in Annex I, Part C.

(notified under document number C(2008) 5699)
(Text with EEA relevance)
(2008/815/EC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 2160/2003 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 17 November 2003 on the control of Salmonella and other specified food-borne zoonotic agents (1), and in particular Article 6(2) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) |
The purpose of Regulation (EC) No 2160/2003 is to ensure that proper and effective measures are taken to detect and control Salmonella and other zoonotic agents at all relevant stages of production, processing and distribution, particularly at the level of primary production, in order to reduce their prevalence and the risk they pose to public health. |
(2) |
That Regulation provides that Community targets are to be established for the reduction of the prevalence in certain animal populations of zoonoses and zoonotic agents listed in Annex I thereto. |
(3) |
A Community target was established for the reduction of the prevalence of Salmonella enteritidis and Salmonella typhimurium in broilers at the level of primary production by Commission Regulation (EC) No 646/2007 of 12 June 2007 implementing Regulation (EC) No 2160/2003 of the European Parliament and of the Council as regards a Community target for the reduction of the prevalence of Salmonella enteritidis and Salmonella typhimurium in broilers (2). |
(4) |
In order to achieve the Community target Member States are to establish national programmes for the control of Salmonella in flocks of broilers of Gallus gallus and submit them to the Commission in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 2160/2003. |
(5) |
Certain Member States have submitted such programmes, which were found to comply with the relevant Community veterinary legislation and in particular with Regulation (EC) No 2160/2003. |
(6) |
Those national control programmes should therefore be approved. |
(7) |
The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health, |
HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:
Article 1
The national programmes for the control of Salmonella in flocks of broilers of Gallus gallus submitted by the Member States listed in the Annex are approved.

(notified under document number C(2008) 5987)
(Text with EEA relevance)
(2008/816/EC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 64/432/EEC of 26 June 1964 on animal health problems affecting intra-Community trade in bovine animals and swine (1), and in particular Annex D(I)(E) thereto,
Whereas:
(1) |
Annex D to Directive 64/432/EEC provides that a Member State or part of a Member State may, as regards bovine herds, be considered officially enzootic-bovine-leukosis-free subject to compliance with certain conditions set out in that Directive. |
(2) |
The lists of regions of Member States declared free of enzootic bovine leukosis are set out in Commission Decision 2003/467/EC of 23 June 2003 establishing the official tuberculosis, brucellosis and enzootic-bovine-leukosis-free status of certain Member States and regions of Member States as regards bovine herds (2). |
(3) |
Poland has now submitted to the Commission documentation demonstrating compliance with the appropriate conditions provided for in Directive 64/432/EEC as regards 29 administrative regions (powiaty) within the superior administrative units (Voivodships) of Mazowieckie, Podlaskie and Warminsko-mazurskie in order that those regions may be considered officially enzootic-bovine-leukosis-free regions of Poland. |
(4) |
Following the evaluation of that documentation, those regions (powiaty) in Poland should be recognised as officially enzootic-bovine-leukosis-free regions of that Member State. |
(5) |
Decision 2003/467/EC should therefore be amended accordingly. |

COMMISSION DECISION
of 22 October 2008
amending Decision 2007/777/EC as regards imports of certain meat products from New Caledonia into the Community
(notified under document number C(2008) 6050)
(Text with EEA relevance)
(2008/817/EC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 92/118/EEC of 17 December 1992 laying down animal health and public health requirements governing trade in and imports into the Community of products not subject to the said requirements laid down in specific Community rules referred to in Annex A(I) to Directive 89/662/EEC and, as regards pathogens, to Directive 90/425/EEC (1), and in particular Article 10(2)(a) thereof,
Having regard to Council Directive 2002/99/EC of 16 December 2002 laying down the animal health rules governing the production, processing, distribution and introduction of products of animal origin for human consumption (2), and in particular the introductory phrase of Article 8, the first paragraph of Article 8(1) and Article 8(4) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) |
Commission Decision 2007/777/EC of 29 November 2007 laying down the animal and public health conditions and model certificates for imports of certain meat products and treated stomachs, bladders and intestines for human consumption from third countries and repealing Decision 2005/432/EC (3) lays down rules on imports into the Community of consignments of certain meat products for human consumption. Part 2 of Annex II to that Decision contains the lists of third countries and parts thereof from which imports of those products are to be authorised. That Decision also lays down model certificates and rules on treatments required for those products. |
(2) |
New Caledonia has requested authorisation for imports into the Community of meat products prepared from domestic bovine animals and certain game and of certain parts of those animals. |
(3) |
The Commission has carried out an audit of New Caledonia which demonstrated that the competent veterinary authority of that third country provides appropriate guarantees as regards compliance with Community legislation, in accordance with the first subparagraph of Article 8(1) of Directive 2002/99/EC. |
(4) |
It is therefore appropriate to authorise the imports from New Caledonia into the Community of meat products prepared from domestic bovine animals and certain game and of certain parts of those animals with the application of the non-specific treatment laid down in Part 4 of Annex II to Decision 2007/777/EC for animal health reasons to those products. |
(5) |
Decision 2007/777/EC should therefore be amended accordingly. |
(6) |
The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health, |
HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:
Article 1
Part 2 of Annex II to Decision 2007/777/EC is replaced by the text in the Annex to this Decision.
Article 2
This Decision is addressed to the Member States.
