2. At its meeting in Brussels on 26 September 2005 the veterinary subgroup discussed a request by the Faroe Islands' authorities to extend the EC-Faroe Islands agreement in order to permit the import of registered equidae directly from Iceland into the Faroe Islands and to permit the movement of registered equidae between the Faroe Islands and the Member States in accordance with the animal health conditions laid down for intra-Community trade in Chapter II of Council Directive 90/426/EEC, as well as to update the information system that shall be used by the Faroe Islands. The Commission experts and a Potsdam group of Member States agreed that this request was acceptable.
3. The meeting agreed on a recommendation to further amend Decision No 1/2001 of the EC-Faroe Islands Joint Committee to permit this change.
4. The attached draft decision of the EC–Faroe Islands Joint Committee lays down provisions to amend Decision No 1/2001 of the EC-Faroe Islands Joint Committee which implements the Protocol on veterinary matters supplementary to the Agreement between the European Community, of the one part, and the Government of Denmark and the Home Government of the Faroe Islands, of the other part, signed in Brussels on the 6 December 1996.
5. The Council is therefore asked to adopt the annexed proposal for a decision concerning the Community position within the EC/Denmark-Faroe Islands Joint Committee on the approval of the extension of the agreement to permit the import of registered equidae directly from Iceland into the Faroe Islands and to permit the movement of registered equidae between the Faroe Islands and the Member States in accordance with the animal health conditions laid down for intra-Community trade in Chapter II of Council Directive 90/426/EEC, as well as to update the information system that shall be used by the Faroe Islands.
