Whereas:
(1) Article 29 (1) of Directive 96/23/EC requires that third countries from which Member States are authorised to import animals and animal products covered by that Directive submit residue monitoring plans providing required guarantees (the plans). The plans should cover at least the groups of residues and substances listed in Annex I to that Directive.

(5) The Falkland Islands have submitted to the Commission a plan for aquaculture, which does not cover crustaceans and a plan for small ruminants, which only covers ovine animals. Therefore, a specification excluding crustaceans from the approval for aquaculture and limiting the approval to ovine animals for small ruminants should be added to the list.

(9) Kyrgyzstan is currently included in the approval list for honey. That third country has submitted to the Commission a plan for honey that does not provide sufficient guarantees. Therefore, the entry for Kyrgyzstan regarding honey should be deleted from the list.
(10) Moldova has submitted to the Commission a plan for aquaculture, which does not cover crustaceans, and a plan for milk. The milk plan provides sufficient guarantees and should be approved. Therefore, a specification excluding crustaceans from the approval for aquaculture should be added to the list, and an entry for Moldova for milk should be included in the list.
(11) Montenegro has submitted to the Commission a plan for aquaculture, which does not cover crustaceans, and a plan for small ruminants, which only covers ovine animals.

(14) Namibia has submitted to the Commission a plan for wild game and for small ruminants, which only covers ovine animals. That plan provides sufficient guarantees and should be approved.

(15) Nicaragua has submitted to the Commission a plan for aquaculture, which does not cover finfish. Therefore, a specification excluding finfish from the approval for aquaculture should be added to the list.
