COMMISSION DECISION

of 24 February 1984

amending Decision 82/913/EEC as regards the list of establishments in the Republic of South Africa and Namibia approved for the purpose of importing fresh meat into the Community

(84/118/EEC)

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN

COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,

Having regard to Council Directive 72/462/EEC of 12 December 1972 on health and veterinary inspection problems upon importation of bovine animals and swine and fresh meat from third countries (1), as last amended by Directive 83/91/EEC (2), and in particular Articles 4 (1), 16 and 18 (1) (a) and (b) thereof,

Whereas a list of establishments in the Republic of South Africa and Namibia, approved for the purpose of importing fresh meat into the Community, was drawn up initially by Commission Decision 82/913/EEC (3), as amended by Decision 83/356/EEC (4);

Whereas a routine inspection under Article 5 of Directive 72/462/EEC and Article 3 (1) of Commission Decision 83/196/EEC of 8 April 1983 concerning on-the-spot inspections to be carried out in respect of the importation of bovine animals and swine and fresh meat from non-member countries (5) has revealed that the level of hygiene of certain establishments has altered since the last inspection; whereas, in addition, one establishment has not been presented again by the South African authorities for Community inspection; whereas, consequently, it is advisable to inscribe or maintain certain of those establishments on the said list and in respect of other establishments, for reasons of hygiene to take special measures regarding entry into the Community of meat which has been produced or stored therein;

Whereas, to this end, it is necessary, for the last mentioned establishments, to fix a final date for the introduction into Community territory of meat originating in them, after which date the unloading of meat shall in no case be authorized therefrom;

Whereas the list of establishments should therefore be amended;

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

The Annex to Decision 82/913/EEC is hereby replaced by the Annex to this Decision.

Article 2

This Decision is addressed to the Member States.
