In addition to the countries previously recognised as having a negligible BSE risk status, that Resolution recognised Costa Rica, Germany, Lithuania, Namibia and Spain as having a negligible BSE risk.\n(5)\nThe list of countries or regions in the Annex to Decision 2007/453/EC should therefore be amended to recognise the negligible BSE risk status of these countries.\n(6)\nThe Annex to Decision 2007/453/EC should therefore be amended accordingly.\n(7)\nThe measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Plants, Animals, Food and Feed,\nHAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:",
