THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

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)](#ntr2-L_2019310EN.01004601-E0002), and in particular 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)](#ntr3-L_2019310EN.01004601-E0003), and in particular Article 6(2) thereof,

| | |
| --- | --- |
| (1) | Commission Decision 2009/821/EC [(4)](#ntr4-L_2019310EN.01004601-E0004) lays down the list of border inspection posts approved in accordance with Directives 91/496/EEC and 97/78/EC and the list of central, regional and local units in the integrated computerised veterinary system (Traces). Those lists are respectively set out in Annex I and Annex II to that Decision. |

| --- | --- |
| (2) | Following communication from Denmark, the approval of the border inspection post at Billund airport should be restricted to equidae and other animals than ungulates, and the approval of the border inspection post at Hanstholm port should be restricted to packed fishery products. It is therefore appropriate to amend accordingly the list of entries for that Member State set out in Annex I to Decision 2009/821/EC. |

| --- | --- |
| (3) | Following communication from Greece, the categories of ungulates and equidae should be removed from the approval of the road border inspection post at Evzoni and the border inspection post at Thessaloniki airport should be also approved for packed products for human consumption at ambient temperature. It is therefore appropriate to amend accordingly the list of entries for that Member State set out in Annex I to Decision 2009/821/EC. |

| | |
| --- | --- |
| (4) | Following communication from Spain, the approval of the border inspection post at Málaga port should be restricted to products for human consumption. It is therefore appropriate to amend accordingly the list of entries for that Member State set out in Annex I to Decision 2009/821/EC. |

| | |

| (5) | Following communication from Italy, the approval of the border inspection post at Cagliari port should exclude the carcasses of ungulates, an inspection centre should be suspended at the border inspection post at Genova port and a new inspection centre should be added at the border inspection post at Milano-Malpensa airport. It is therefore appropriate to amend accordingly the list of entries for that Member State set out in Annex I to Decision 2009/821/EC. |

| | |
| --- | --- |
| (6) | Croatia informed the Commission that, following an administrative restructuration, the number of local veterinary offices was reduced from 12 to 5 units. It is therefore appropriate to amend Annex II to Decision 2009/821/EC accordingly. |

| | |
| --- | --- |
| (7) | The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Plants, Animals, Food and Feed, |
