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 10(2) thereof,

Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 853/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 29 April 2004 laying down specific hygiene rules for food of animal origin (2), and in particular Article 9 thereof,

Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 854/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 29 April 2004 laying down specific rules for the organisation of official controls on products of animal origin intended for human consumption (3), and in particular Article 11(1) thereof,

Whereas:

 

(1)

Regulation (EC) No 2160/2003 lays down requirements for the control of Salmonella in different poultry populations of the Member States. The requirements apply to Member States from the dates set out in Annex I to that Regulation, in particular 18 months after a target for reduction of the prevalence of Salmonella has been established.
 

(2)

A target for such reduction applies for breeding flocks of Gallus gallus from 1 July 2005 in accordance with Commission Regulation (EC) No 1003/2005 (4), for laying hens from 1 August 2006 in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 1168/2006 and for broilers from 1 July 2007 in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 646/2007 (5).
 

(3)

Canada, Israel, Tunisia and the United States have submitted to the Commission their control programmes for Salmonella in breeding poultry of Gallus gallus, hatching eggs thereof and day-old chicks of Gallus gallus intended for breeding. These programmes were found to provide guarantees equivalent to the guarantees provided for in Regulation (EC) No 2160/2003 and should therefore be approved.
 

(4)

Commission Decision 2006/696/EC of 28 August 2006 laying down a list of third countries from which poultry, hatching eggs, day-old chicks, meat of poultry, ratites and wild game-birds, eggs and egg products and specified pathogen-free eggs may be imported into and transit through the Community and the applicable veterinary certification conditions and amending Decisions 93/342/EEC, 2000/585/EC and 2003/812/EC (6) covers imports into and transit through the Community of in particular breeding and productive poultry, hatching eggs and day-old chicks and sets out a list of third countries from which Member States are authorised to import the relevant animals and hatching eggs.
 

(5)

Pursuant to Regulation (EC) No 2160/2003, admission to or retention on the lists of third countries provided for in Community legislation from which Member States are authorised to import the relevant animals and hatching eggs covered by that Regulation is subject to the submission to the Commission by the third country concerned of a programme equivalent to national control programmes for Salmonella to be established by the Member States, and its approval by the Commission.
 

(6)

As a consequence of the approval of programmes, Canada, Israel, Tunisia and the United States should remain on the list set out in Decision 2006/696/EC of third countries from which the Member...
