Whereas:

(1) In Commission Decision 2003/760/EC(2), the ‘Département de la Qualité Alimentaire et de l’Action Vétérinaire (DQAAV) du Service de Développement Rural du Ministère de l’Agriculture et de l’Élevage’ is identified as the competent authority in French Polynesia for verifying and certifying compliance of fishery and aquaculture products with the requirements of Directive 91/493/EEC.

(4) The DQAAV has provided official assurances on compliance with the standards for health controls and monitoring of fishery and aquaculture products as set out in Directive 91/493/EEC and on the fulfilment of hygienic requirements equivalent to those laid down in that Directive.

(5) Decision 2003/760/EC should therefore be amended accordingly.

(6) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
