THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,

Whereas:

(1)Commission Decision 2007/421/EC(2) provided for the Director-General for Energy and Transport to publish in the *Official Journal of the European Union* an updated list of organisations recognised in compliance with Council Directive 94/57/EC(3) by 1 July each year.

(2)Directive 94/57/EC was recast in two separate Community legal documents, namely Directive 2009/15/EC of the European Parliament                              and of the Council(4) and Regulation (EC) No 391/2009. That Regulation contains provisions regarding the drawing up and updating of a list of recognised                              organisations.

(3)In accordance with Article 4(5) of Regulation (EC) No 391/2009, the Commission draws up and regularly updates a list of the                              organisations recognised in accordance with that Article and that list is published in the *Official Journal of the European Union*.

(4)Decision 2007/421/EC became obsolete and should therefore be repealed while an updated list of the organisations recognised                              in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 391/2009 should be published in the *Official Journal of the European Union* at regular intervals,
