(Text with EEA relevance)

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2092/91 of 24 June 1991 on organic production of agricultural products and indications referring thereto on agricultural products and foodstuffs(1), as last amended by Commission Regulation (EC) No 473/2002(2), and in particular Article 11(1) thereof,

That list was drawn up in accordance with Article 11(2) of Regulation (EEC) No 2092/91.

(2) The duration of inclusion of Switzerland in the list provided for in Article 11(1) of Regulation (EEC) No 2092/91 expires on 31 December 2002. The duration of inclusion of Argentina, Australia, Czech Republic, Hungary and Israel expires on 30 June 2003.

(3) The third countries concerned have provided the Commission with appropriate information regarding the implementation of rules equivalent to those laid down in Council Regulation (EEC) No 2092/91. In addition, the effective implementation has been verified during on-the-spot examinations in those third countries carried out by the Commission.

(4) The Hungarian authorities have informed the Commission that one inspection and certificate issuing body has ceased its activity in Hungary. Therefore, the name of the said body should be deleted from the Annex to Regulation (EEC) No 94/92.

(5) Regulation (EEC) No 94/92 should therefore be amended accordingly.

(6) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee mentioned in Article 14 of Regulation (EEC) No 2092/91,
