   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) 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)
            
            
               Denmark has communicated that a new inspection centre has been added to the border inspection post at the port of Esbjerg. The list of entries for that Member State as set out in Annex I to Decision 2009/821/EC should therefore be amended accordingly.
            
         
               (3)

               The Commission audit service (formerly referred to as Commission inspection service), the Food and Veterinary Office, carried out an audit in Spain, following which it made a number of recommendations to that Member State. Spain has communicated that the one port and several airport border inspection posts should be temporarily suspended. The entries for those border inspection posts set out in Annex I to Decision 2009/821/EC should therefore be amended accordingly.

The relevant entry for that Member State as set out in Annex I to Decision 2009/821/EC should therefore be amended accordingly.
            
         
               (8)
