(notified under document C(2009) 10048)

(Text with EEA relevance)

(2009/994/EU)

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,

Having regard to the Act of Accession of Bulgaria and Romania, and in particular the first subparagraph of paragraph (f) of Section B of Chapter 4 of Annex VI thereto,

Whereas:

(1)

Bulgaria has been granted transitional periods by the Act of Accession of Bulgaria and Romania for compliance by certain milk processing establishments with the requirements of Regulation (EC) No 853/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 29 April 2004 laying down specific hygiene rules for food of animal origin1.

(2)

Bulgaria has provided guarantees that thirty-nine milk processing establishments have completed their upgrading process and are now in full compliance with the Union legislation. Twenty-seven of those establishments are allowed to receive and process compliant and non-compliant raw milk without separation. Those establishments should be included in the list of Chapter I of the Appendix to Annex VI.

(3)

One milk processing establishment is currently allowed to receive and process compliant and non-compliant raw milk without separation and is therefore listed in Chapter I of the Appendix to Annex VI. That establishment now only processes compliant raw milk and should therefore be deleted from that list.

(4)

One milk processing establishment is currently allowed to receive and process compliant and non-compliant raw milk on separate production lines and is therefore listed in Chapter II of the Appendix to Annex VI. That establishment now only processes compliant raw milk and should therefore be deleted from that list.

(5)

The Appendix to Annex VI to the Act of Accession of Bulgaria and Romania should therefore be amended accordingly.

(6)

The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,

HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:

Article 1

The Appendix to Annex VI to the Act of Accession of Bulgaria and Romania is amended in accordance with the Annex to this Decision.

Article 2

This Decision is addressed to the Member States.
