THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to the Act of Accession of Bulgaria and Romania, and in particular the first subparagraph of paragraph (f) of Section B of Chapter 4 of Annex VI thereto,
Whereas:
(1)
Bulgaria has been granted transitional periods by the Act of Accession of Bulgaria and Romania for compliance by certain milk processing establishments with the requirements of Regulation (EC) No 853/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 29 April 2004 laying down specific hygiene rules for food of animal origin (1).

Commission Regulation (EC) No 244/2004

Whereas:
(1) Commission Regulation (EC) No 2214/2003(5) fixes the indicative quantities for which system B export licences may be issued.

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
