Having regard to Council Directive 96/23/EC of 29 April 1996 on measures to monitor certain substances and residues thereof in live animals and animal products and repealing Directives 85/358/EEC and 86/469/EEC and Decisions 89/187/EEC and 91/664/EEC , and in particular the fourth subparagraph of Article 29(1) thereof,
Whereas:

The plan should at least apply to the groups of residues and substances listed in that Annex I.
(2)
Commission Decision 2011/163/EU approves plans submitted by certain third countries concerning specified animal and animal products as listed in the Annex to that Decision (‘the list’).
(3)
Colombia has submitted a plan for milk to the Commission. That plan provides sufficient guarantees and should be approved. An entry for Colombia for milk should therefore be included in the list.
(4)
Montenegro has submitted a plan for milk to the Commission. That plan provides sufficient guarantees and should be approved. An entry for Montenegro for milk should therefore be included in the list.
(5)
Ukraine has submitted a plan for rabbit to the Commission. That plan provides sufficient guarantees and should be approved. An entry for Ukraine for rabbit should therefore be included in the list.
(6)
Decision 2011/163/EU should therefore be amended accordingly.
