Whereas Commission Decision 95/160/EC of 21 April 1995 establishing additional guarantees regarding salmonella for consignments to Finland and Sweden of breeding poultry and day-old chicks for introduction into flocks of breeding poultry or flocks of productive poultry (4) provides in particular for a microbiological test for the examination of the samples;

Appropriate measures, including tests shall be carried out to ensure that each production batch of collagen meets the microbiological and residues criteria set in Part V of Section A, but where necessary to achieve desired products such as collagen-based casings, no moisture and ash limit shall apply.

When considering whether a given third country fulfils the criteria set out in Article 15 of Directive 71/118/EEC and Article 3(2) of Directive 72/462/EEC in order to be included on the list drawn up in accordance with those Directives, the Commission shall take into account the rules of that third country with regard to the implementation of regular checks on the general hygiene, based on hazard analysis and critical control points principles and on microbiological controls as necessary, carried out by operators exporting fresh poultrymeat or fresh meat to the Community.
