The information to be provided to travellers has to include at least the information contained in one of the posters set out in Annex III to that Regulation. The posters contain information on derogations for certain third countries of geographical proximity and limited animal health risk.\n(3)\nCroatia is one of those countries. Subject to, and as from the date of the entry into force of the Treaty of Accession of Croatia, it is necessary to delete the entry for that country from those posters.\n(4)\nIt is also opportune to slightly review the wording and the layout of the message presented in the posters in order to make it clearer for the travellers and the general public.\n(5)\nAnnex III to Regulation (EC) No 206/2009 should therefore be amended accordingly.\n(6)\nThe measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,\nHAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:",
