THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty of Accession of Bulgaria and Romania,

Having regard to the Act of Accession of Bulgaria and Romania, and in particular Article 42 thereof,

Whereas:

(1) Commission Decision 2007/27/EC(1) sets out lists of milk processing establishments in Romania that comply with the structural requirements laid down in Regulation (EC) No 852/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council(2) (compliant establishments) and are authorized to receive and process raw milk which is not in compliance with Regulation (EC) No 853/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council(3) (non-compliant milk).

(2) Chapter I of the Annex to Decision 2007/27/EC lists compliant establishments authorised to receive and process without separation compliant and non-compliant milk while Chapter II of that Annex lists compliant establishments authorised to receive and process separately compliant and non-compliant milk.

(3) Decision 2007/27/EC has been amended by Commission Decisions 2007/557/EC(4) and 2008/452/EC.

(5) Furthermore, certain milk processing establishments are now in compliance with Community legislation. Those establishments process compliant and non-compliant milk without separation and should be added to the list in Chapter I of the Annex to Decision 2007/27/EC.
