Commission Decision 2011/690 - EUR-Lex

EN
15.10.2011 Official Journal of the European Union L 270/49
(10) The entry for Singapore in the list includes aquaculture
but with a reference to footnote 2 in the Annex to
Decision 2011/163/EU. However, in the Annex to
Decision 2004/432/EC, as amended by Commission
Decision 2010/327/EU ( 1 ), there is no reference to
footnote 2 as Singapore submitted an approved plan
for aquaculture. The Commission has not been advised
of any change since the approval of that plan. Therefore,
the entry for that third country in the list should be
corrected by deleting the reference to that footnote for
imports of aquaculture. For reasons of legal certainty, the
entry for Singapore should apply retroactively from
15 March 2011, the date of application of Decision
2011/163/EU when the error in the entry regarding
Singapore occurred. The competent authorities of the
Member States have been informed accordingly and no
disruption to imports has been reported to the
Commission.
(11) The Annex to Decision 2011/163/EU should therefore
be amended accordingly.
(12) 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

Article 2
This Decision shall apply from 1 November 2011.
However, the amendment concerning the entry for Singapore
