(notified under document C(2013) 6383)
(Text with EEA relevance)
(2013/491/EU)
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:
|
(1) |
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 communication from Denmark, Germany, Spain, France, Italy and the UK, the entries for the border inspection posts in those Member States should be amended in the list set out in Annex I to Decision 2009/821/EC. |
|
(3) |
Following satisfactory audits carried out by the Commission audit service (formerly referred to as Commission inspection service), the Food and Veterinary Office (FVO), additional approval categories could be added to four border inspection posts in Croatia and a new border inspection post at London-Gateway in the United Kingdom should be added to the entries for those Member States in the list set out in Annex I to Decision 2009/821/EC. As the Treaty of Accession of Croatia entered into force on 1 July 2013 and as the above audit was carried out before, the amendments to the Croatian BIPs should be applicable retroactively from 1 July 2013 to ensure that no obstacles to existing trade are created. |
|
(4) |
Poland has communicated that the border inspection post at Świnoujście should be deleted from the list of entries for that Member State. The list of entries for this Member State as set out in Annex I to Decision 2009/821/EC should therefore be amended accordingly. |
|
(5) |
Decision 2009/821/EC should therefore be amended accordingly. |
|
(6) |
The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health, |

The amendment set out in point (5) of the Annex shall apply retroactively from 1 July 2013.
