Article 49

Following the implementation of an equivalence agreement, or a satisfactory audit, a decision may be taken, in accordance with the procedure referred to in Article 62(3), recognising that measures that third countries or their regions apply in specific areas offer guarantees equivalent to those applied in the Community, if the third countries supply objective proof in this respect. The decision referred to in paragraph 1 shall set out the conditions governing the imports from that third country or region of a third country. The conditions may include: the nature and content of the certificates that must accompany the products; specific requirements applicable to importation into the Community; where necessary, procedures for drawing up and amending lists of regions or establishments from which imports are permitted. The decision referred to in paragraph 1 shall be repealed in accordance with the same procedure and without delay where any of the conditions for recognition of equivalence established at the time of its adoption cease to be fulfilled.
