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,
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,
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,
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.
(2)
Following communication from Spain, the category other animals for the border inspection post at the airport of Alicante should be restricted to the animals of small size. Therefore, footnote (10) should be added to the category O for that border inspection post in Annex I to Decision 2009/821/EC.
(3)
Following communication from France, the approval for the border inspection post at the airport of Lyon-Saint Exupéry should be extended to registered equidae. Therefore, the entry for that border inspection post should be amended in Annex I to Decision 2009/821/EC.
(4)
The Netherlands communicated that an inspection centre at the border inspection post at the port of Amsterdam should be deleted and that an inspection centre at the border inspection post at the port of Rotterdam moved to a new location. Therefore, the entries for those border inspection posts as set out in Annex I to Decision 2009/821/EC should be amended accordingly.
(5)
Annex II to Decision 2009/821/EC lays down the list of central, regional and local units in the integrated computerised veterinary system (Traces).
(6)
Following communication from Ireland, Italy and Austria, changes should be brought to the list of local units in Traces for those countries set out in Annex II to Decision 2009/821/EC.
(7)
Decision 2009/821/EC should therefore be amended accordingly.
