Abstract

This Order permits import of peanuts from Egypt in accordance with the conditions in Article 1 of Commission Decision 2000/49/EC of 6th December 1999 repealing Commission Decision 1999/356/EC and imposing special conditions on the import of peanuts and certain products derived from peanuts originating in or consigned from Egypt. Article 1 of Commission Decision 2000/49/EC permits the import of Egyptian peanuts only where accompanied by Egyptian Government health certificates and results of sampling and analysis. Article 1 of the Decision also requires that the import of such peanuts takes place only through specified points of entry, that each consignment of such peanuts be identified with a code corresponding with that on the health certificate and sampling and analysis results. The Article also requires that all such imports be subjected to sampling and analysis for aflatoxin B1 and total aflatoxin before release onto the market. This Order also specifies the enforcement authorities (art. 4) and applies, with modifications, provisions of the 1990 Act (art. 5).
