Whereas:

| | |

| (1) | Commission Decision 2009/821/EC of 28 September 2009 drawing up a list of approved border inspection posts, laying down certain rules on the inspections carried out by Commission veterinary experts and laying down the veterinary units in Traces [(4)](#ntr4-L_2011281EN.01002901-E0004) 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 Belgium, in the entries for the inspection centres Avia Partner and Swiss Port of the border inspection post at the airport of Brussel-Zaventem, the approval should be extended to all packed products for human consumption. The list of entries for that Member State as set out in Annex I to Decision 2009/821/EC should be amended accordingly. |

In addition, Estonia has communicated that the border inspection post at Luhamaa road should be also approved for certain other live animals than equidae and ungulates.
