For the sake of clarity, that comment should therefore be made more precise from a taxonomical point of view to meet the aim of the Decision.\n(3)\nIt is also appropriate to simplify the presentation of the table in Annex I in order to avoid repeating the requirements set out in the model certificates.\n(4)\nDecision 2003/858/EC should therefore be amended accordingly.\n(5)\nThe measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,\nHAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:",
