   THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
   Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
   Having regard to Council Directive 90/425/EEC of 26 June 1990 concerning veterinary and zootechnical checks applicable in intra-Community trade in certain live animals and products with a view to the completion of the internal market (1), and in particular Article 20(1) and (3) thereof,
   Having regard to Council Directive 91/496/EEC of 15 July 1991 laying down the principles governing the organisation of veterinary checks on animals entering the Community from third countries and amending Directives 89/662/EEC, 90/425/EEC and 90/675/EEC (2), and in particular the second sentence of the second subparagraph of Article 6(4) thereof,
   Having regard to Council Directive 97/78/EC of 18 December 1997 laying down the principles governing the organisation of veterinary checks on products entering the Community from third countries (3), and in particular Article 6(2) thereof,
   Whereas:

               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)
            
            
               Note (15) of the special remarks in Annex I to Decision 2009/821/EC refers to the validity of the provisional approval for the border inspection post at the port of Marseille Port until the conclusion of the works to upgrade those facilities to fully comply with the requirements laid down in Union legislation. That provisional approval was valid until 1 July 2012. France has informed the Commission that the works have been finalised and that the inspection centre Hangar 23 is operational since 1 July 2012. Note (15) of the special remarks in Annex I to Decision 2009/821/EC should therefore be deleted and the entry concerning the border inspection post at Marseille Port should be amended accordingly. For the sake of legal certainty, those amendments should apply retroactively.
            
         
               (3)

The list of entries for that Member State as set out in Annex I to Decision 2009/821/EC should therefore be amended accordingly.
            
         
               (5)
            
            
               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.

               Following communication from Latvia, the temporary suspension of the border inspection post at Patarnieki should be lifted and the relevant entry for that Member State as set out in Annex I to Decision 2009/821/EC should therefore be amended accordingly.
            
         
               (8)
