(1) The original requirements for veterinary checks on products entering the Community from third countries were laid down in Council Directive 90/675/EEC (2), which has been repealed and replaced by Directive 97/ 78/EC. (2) In the light of experience gained since the adoption of Directive 90/675/EEC, there have been some changes to procedures introduced by Directive 97/78/EC. Commission Decision 93/13/EEC of 22 December 1992 laying down the procedures for veterinary checks at the Community border inspection posts on products from third countries (3), as last amended by Decision 2003/279/ EC (4), was adopted an the basis of the first directive and should therefore be updated. (3) The certificate issued after completion of veterinary checks and currently laid down in Annex B to Decision 93/13/EEC should be adapted to take account of changes to procedures both for consignments meeting Community rules and for consignments not meeting Community rules, and whether for import into or transit of the Community.
