Therefore it was listed in Commission Decision 97/232/EC of 3 March 1997 drawing up lists of third countries from which the Member Sates authorise imports of sheep and goats as a third country recognised as officially free of brucellosis (B. melitensis).\n(3)\nIn addition, since that recognition Romania has undertaken to comply with the conditions provided for in Section II(2) of Chapter 1 of Annex A to Directive 91/68/EEC in order to maintain the officially free status granted.\n(4)\nRomania, as regards the whole territory, has now submitted to the Commission documentation re-confirming compliance with the conditions provided for in Section II(1)(b) of Chapter A of Annex A to Directive 91/68/EEC and demonstrating continuous conformity with the conditions of Section II(2) of Chapter 1 of Annex A to Directive 91/68/EEC as regards the maintenance of the officially free status granted.\n(5)\nRomania should therefore be recognised as officially free of brucellosis (B. melitensis) as regards ovine or caprine holdings.\n(6)\nDirective 64/432/EEC provides that Member States or parts or regions thereof may be declared officially free of tuberculosis, brucellosis and enzootic bovine leukosis as regards bovine herds subject to compliance with certain conditions set out in that Directive.\n(7)\nThe lists of regions of Member States declared free of bovine tuberculosis, bovine brucellosis and enzootic bovine leukosis are set out in Commission Decision 2003/467/EC of 23 June 2003 establishing the official tuberculosis, brucellosis and enzootic-bovine-leukosis-free status of certain Member States and regions of Member States as regards bovine herds.\n(8)\nSlovenia has submitted to the Commission documentation demonstrating compliance with the appropriate conditions provided for in Directive 64/432/EEC as regards the whole territory in order that that Member State may be declared an officially brucellosis-free Member State.\n(9)\nFollowing evaluation of the documentation submitted by Slovenia, the whole territory of that Member State should therefore be declared officially brucellosis-free Member State as regards bovine animals.\n(10)\nDecisions 93/52/EEC and 2003/467/EC should therefore be amended accordingly.\n(11)\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:",
