Papua New Guinea, Suriname, Switzerland, Mozam- bique, Honduras and Kazakhstan. The mentioned countries should therefore be added to part I of the Annex. The the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia has provided information that it satisfies equivalent conditions to those laid down in Community legislation and is able to guarantee that the fishery products it will export to the Community meet the health requirements of Directive 91/493[EEC; it is therefore necessary to include this country in Part II of the list. Nevertheless, following the information and the guarantees received from the competent authorities of this country it is necessary to restrain the imports of fishery products to wild fish intended for direct human consumption. Furthermore, the information provided by the Yugoslav authority does not pertain to Kosovo, as defined by the United Nations Security Council Resolution 1244 of 10 June 1999, which is subject to international civil adminis- tration by the United Nations Mission in Kosovo (UNMIK). It is therefore not possible at this stage to cover Kosovo under Part II of the list. Decisions C(2002) 4091, C(2002) 4090, C(2002) 4088, C(2002) 4096, C(2002) 4092, C(2002) 4097, C(2002) 4094 and C(2002) 4098 will enter into force 45 days after their publication in the Official Journal providing for the necessary transitional period and it is necessary to apply the same delay for the implemen- tation of the present Decision. Nevertheless, since the import of fishery products from the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia will be authorized for the first time by the present Decision and from Kazakhstan by Decision C(2002) 4099 there is no need for such transitional period, and a period of three days is sufficient to ensure the publicity of the authorization, imports from these countries may be permitted 3 days after the publication of these Decisions in the Official Journal.
