Such measures must be approved by the competent authority of the third country, territory or part thereof where

5. The approval must be withdrawn where the competent authority finds that the requirements of Part 3 are no longer
being fulfilled.
6. Where notification is given of the suspicion of the occurrence of one of the diseases listed in Annex A to Directive
92/65/EEC or mentioned in the veterinary certificates for the relevant species laid down in Part 2 of Annex VI to this
