Accordingly, it should be deleted from the list of border inspection posts. This deletion has been enacted in the package of legal technical adaptations necessary as a result of enlargement.\n(4)\nIn addition, the Greek border with Bulgaria will also cease to be a frontier with a third country, and the existing land border inspection posts on that frontier at Ormenion and Promochonas will lose their function. Accordingly, they should be deleted from the list of border inspection posts. This deletion has also been enacted in the package of legal technical adaptations necessary as a result of enlargement.\n(5)\nAll the proposed new locations in Bulgaria and Romania, put forward as border inspection posts with third countries, have been inspected by the Food and Veterinary Office of the Commission who have recommended that those completed satisfactorily should be approved by the Commission. Therefore, those locations should be included in the list of border inspection posts.\n(6)\nDecision 2001/881/EC should therefore be amended accordingly.\n(7)\nThe measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,\nHAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:",
