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^f1, 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^f2, and in particular the second sentence of the second subparagraph of Article 6(4) 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^f3, and in particular Article 6(2) thereof,

Whereas:

(1)

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^f4 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 Denmark, the Inspection centre 2 at the border inspection post at the port of Hirtshals should be deleted in the entries for that border inspection post set out in Annex I to Decision 2009/821/EC. In addition, the categories of products of animal origin that can currently be checked at the border inspection post at the airport of Billund should be deleted in the entries for that border inspection post.

(3)

Following a satisfactory inspection by the Commission inspection services, the Food and Veterinary Office, an additional border inspection post at Kalundborg in Denmark should be added to the entries for that Member State in the list set out in Annex I to Decision 2009/821/EC.

(4)

Following communication from Germany, the Inspection centre ‘Frigo Altenwerder’ at the border inspection post at the port of Hamburg should be replaced by the Inspection centre ‘Altenwerder Kirchtal’, with additional categories of products of animal origin that can be checked at that Inspection centre. That new Inspection centre should be included in the entries for that border inspection post set out in Annex I to Decision 2009/821/EC.

(5)

Following communication from Greece, the approval of the railway border inspection post of Neos Kafkassos should be deleted from the list set out in Annex I to Decision 2009/821/EC. In addition, certain categories of live animals that can currently be checked at the road border inspection post of Neos Kafkassos should be deleted in the entries for that border inspection post in that list.

(6)

Spain has communicated that an additional Inspection centre has been installed at the border inspection post at the airport of Barcelona. Following that communication, the list of border inspection posts for that Member State should be amended.

(7)

France has communicated that the approval of the border inspection post at the port of Boulogne should be deleted from the list of border inspection posts for that Member State.

(8)

Following communication from Latvia, the current suspension of approval of one Inspection centre at the border inspection post at the port of Riga (Riga port) should no longer apply. The entry for that border inspection post should therefore be amended accordingly.

(9)

Following communication from the United Kingdom, certain categories of products of animal origin that can currently be checked at the border inspection posts at Belfast International Airport and at the airport of Nottingham East Midlands should be deleted in the entries for those border inspection posts set out in Annex I to Decision 2009/821/EC. In addition, the entry for the border inspection post at the airport of Manston should be deleted in the list of entries for that Member State set out in that Annex.

(10)

Annex II to Decision 2009/821/EC lays down the list of central units, regional units and local units in the integrated computerised veterinary system (Traces).

(11)

Following communications from Belgium, Germany, Ireland, Italy and Portugal, certain changes should be brought to the list of central, regional and local units in Traces for those Member States laid down in Annex II to Decision 2009/821/EC.

(12)

Decision 2009/821/EC should therefore be amended accordingly.

(13)

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