(3) In October 2010, Romania informed the Commission that following an evaluation carried out by their veterinary services, certain establishments listed in that Decision finalised their upgrading programme and have been approved and some establishments have been closed.

(6) The situation in that Member State should be reviewed before 31 December 2011. Therefore, Romania should submit a report to the Commission by 31 October 2011 regarding progress made in the upgrading of the concerned establishments and cold stores.
(7) Accordingly, the period of application of Decision 2010/89/EU should be prolonged until 31 December 2011.
