THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Council Directive 90/425/EEC of 26 June 1990 concerning veterinary and zootechnical checks applicable in intra-Community trade in certain live animals and products with a view to the completion of the internal market, and in particular Article 20(1) and (3) thereof,
OJ L 224, 18.8.1990, p. 29.
Having regard to Council Directive 91/496/EEC of 15 July 1991 laying down the principles governing the organisation of veterinary checks on animals entering the Community from third countries and amending Directives 89/662/EEC, 90/425/EEC and 90/675/EEC, and in particular the second sentence of the second subparagraph of Article 6(4) and Article 6(5) thereof,
OJ L 268, 24.9.1991, p. 56.
Having regard to Council Directive 97/78/EC of 18 December 1997 laying down the principles governing the organisation of veterinary checks on products entering the Community from third countries, and in particular Article 6(2) thereof,
OJ L 24, 30.1.1998, p. 9.
Whereas:
(1) Commission Decision 2009/821/EC lays down a list of border inspection posts approved in accordance with Directives 91/496/EEC and 97/78/EC. That list is set out in Annex I to that Decision.
Commission Decision 2009/821/EC of 28 September 2009 drawing up a list of approved border inspection posts, laying down certain rules on the inspections carried out by Commission veterinary experts and laying down the veterinary units in TRACES (OJ L 296, 12.11.2009, p. 1).
(2) Following communication from France, the entries for the border inspection posts at the airport at Bordeaux and at the port at Dunkerque in France should be amended in the list set out in Annex I to Decision 2009/821/EC.
(3) Following the delisting of the category O for the border inspection post at Marseille Aéroport, the French authorities have modernised that border inspection post and communicated that the modernisation is finalised and that that border inspection post is suitable for category O with footnote (14), specifically for invertebrates, ornamental aquatic animals, amphibians and rodents. Therefore, category O with footnote (14) can be added for that border inspection post in Annex I to Decision 2009/821/EC.
(4) Following communication from Spain and Italy, the approval for part of the product categories at the border inspection posts at the port at Huelva, at the airport at Madrid and for an inspection centre at the border inspection post at the port at Livorno-Pisa has been suspended. Therefore, the entries for these border inspection posts should be amended in the list set out in Annex I to Decision 2009/821/EC for Spain and Italy.
(5) Following a satisfactory audit carried out by the Commission audit service, the new border inspection post at the port at Liepaja in Latvia can be approved for the category other packed products at ambient temperature. The list of entries for Latvia set out in Annex I to Decision 2009/821/EC should therefore be amended accordingly.
(6) The Netherlands and Poland have communicated that an inspection centre has been respectively added to the border inspection posts at the ports of Rotterdam and Gdańsk for certain categories of products of animal origin. The list of entries for the Netherlands and Poland set out in Annex I to Decision 2009/821/EC should therefore be amended accordingly.
(7) Annex II to Decision 2009/821/EC lays down the list of central, regional and local units in the integrated computerised veterinary system (Traces).
(8) Following communication from Denmark and Italy, changes should be brought to several local units in the list of central and local units in Traces for Denmark and Italy set out in Annex II to Decision 2009/821/EC.
(9) Decision 2009/821/EC should therefore be amended accordingly.
(10) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Plants, Animals, Food and Feed,
