That Recovery Plan was transposed into Community legislation by Council Regulation (EC) No 1559/2007.\n(2)\nOn 24 November 2008 ICCAT adopted Recommendation 08-05, amending Recommendation 06-05. That recommendation was transposed into Community legislation by Council Regulation (EC) No 302/2009 of 6 April 2009 concerning a multiannual recovery plan for bluefin tuna in the eastern Atlantic and Mediterranean, amending Regulation (EC) No 43/2009 and repealing Regulation (EC) No 1559/2007.\n(3)\nIn order to ensure the successful implementation of ICCAT Recommendation 08-05, a specific control and inspection programme was necessary. Commission Decision 2009/296/EC established therefore a specific control and inspection programme covering a period of 2 years (15 March 2009 to 15 March 2011).\n(4)\nIn Annex I to Decision 2009/296/EC, the Section entitled ‘Inspection tasks’ should be updated in order to reflect the provisions of Regulation (EC) No 302/2009.\n(5)\nDuring its annual meeting in November 2009, the ICCAT Commission decided to improve the efficiency of inspections carried out under the ICCAT International Scheme of Inspections and to this view adopted a new format for inspection reports.\n(6)\nDecision 2009/296/EC should therefore be amended accordingly.\n(7)\nThe measures provided for in this Decision have been established in concert with Member States concerned.\n(8)\nThe measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee for Fisheries and Aquaculture,\nHAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:",
