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 (1), 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 (2), and in particular the second sentence of the second subparagraph of Article 6(4) and Article 6(5) 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 (3), and in particular Article 6(2) thereof,
Whereas:
|

Commission Decision 2009/821/EC (4) 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 a satisfactory audit carried out by the Commission audit service (the Food and Veterinary Office (FVO)), the border inspection post at Brussels South Charleroi Airport in Belgium can be approved for the category other animals, specifically for insects, with the footnote O(14). The list of entries for that Member State set out in Annex I to Decision 2009/821/EC should therefore be amended accordingly. |
|
(3) |
Spain has communicated that two inspection centres at the border inspection post at the port at Vilagarcía-Ribeira-Caramiñal should become a separate border inspection post at A Pobra-Ribeira and that one inspection centre at the border inspection post at the port at À Coruña-Laxe should be deleted from the list of entries for that Member State. The list of entries for Spain set out in Annex I to Decision 2009/821/EC should therefore be amended accordingly. |
|
(4) |
Following the delisting of the category U for one inspection centre at the airport Roissy Charles-de-Gaulle, the French authorities have modernised that inspection centre and communicated that the modernisation is finalised.

|
(5) |
Following a satisfactory audit carried out by the FVO, the border inspection post at the port at Cagliari in Italy can be approved for the categories of products for human consumption (HC) and for other packed products (NHC(2)). Following communication from Italy, the entry for the border inspection post at the port at Salerno should be amended and the entries for the border inspection posts at the airports at Milano-Linate and Verona should be deleted. The Annex I to Decision 2009/821/EC should therefore be amended accordingly. |
|
(6) |
Lithuania has communicated that the border inspection post at the railway at Pagègiai has been closed down. The list of entries for that Member State set out in Annex I to Decision 2009/821/EC should therefore be amended accordingly. |

In addition, the Netherlands have communicated that the inspection centre Vriescentrum Vink Beverwijk BV has been added to the border inspection post at the port in Amsterdam. The two entries in the list for that Member State set out in Annex I to Decision 2009/821/EC should therefore be amended accordingly. |

The two entries in the list for that Member State set out in Annex I to Decision 2009/821/EC should therefore be amended accordingly. |
