Where a problem likely to pose a serious risk to human or animal health or the environment appears or spreads on the territory of a third country, the Commission, will suspend imports of products from all or part of the third country concerned or from one or more specific production establishments and, where appropriate, any third country of transit and/or lay down special conditions for products intended for import from all or part of the third country concerned. However, in emergencies, the Commission may submit the matter to the Standing Committee for Feedingstuffs within ten working days for its opinion. For such time as the measures adopted by the Commission have not been replaced by another legal act, they shall continue to apply. Where necessary, on-the-spot inspections may be carried out by Commission and Member State experts in third countries to verify whether guarantees, offered by those countries, regarding the conditions for the production and putting into circulation of products can be considered as at least equivalent to those required in the Community.
