(3) The validity of Decision 2006/502/EC was extended by one-year periods, firstly by Commission Decision 2007/231/EC (3) until 11 May 2008, secondly by Commission Decision 2008/322/EC (4) until 11 May 2009, thirdly by Commission Decision 2009/298/EC (5) until 11 May 2010, fourthly by Commission Decision 2010/157/EU (6) until 11 May 2011, fifthly by Commission Decision 2011/176/EU (7) until 11 May 2012, sixthly by Commission Implementing Decision 2012/53/EU (8) until 11 May 2013 and seventhly by Commission Implementing Decision 2013/113/EU (9) until 11 May 2014.
