COMMISSION DECISION of 12 December 1996 drawing up provisional lists of third country establishments from which the Member States authorize imports of fresh poultrymeat (Text with EEA relevance) (97/4/EC)

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,

Having regard to Council Decision 95/408/EC of 22 June 1995 on the conditions for drawing up, for an interim period, provisional lists of third country establishments from which Member States are authorized to import certain products of animal origin, fishery products or live bivalve molluscs (1), and in particular Article 2 (1) thereof,

Whereas, Commission Decision 94/85/EC (2), as last amended by Decision 96/2/EC (3), draws up a list of third countries from which the Member States authorize imports of fresh poultrymeat;

Whereas, in the case of many countries on that list, the health and veterinary certification requirements for importation of fresh poultrymeat have been laid down in Commission Decision 94/984/EC (4), as amended by Decision 96/456/EC (5);
