Where annual ‘Boerenkaas’ production in an undertaking is below 25 000 kilograms, the checks are carried out twice a year. These changes are proposed to prevent the small undertakings being faced with high control costs.\n(3)\nThe Commission has examined the amendment in question and decided that it is justified. Since the amendment is minor within the meaning of the fourth subparagraph of Article 11(1) of Regulation (EC) No 509/2006, the Commission may approve it without recourse to the procedure in Article 8(2) and Article 9,\nHAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:",
