         THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
         Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
         Having regard to Directive 1999/2/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 22 February 1999 on the approximation of the laws of the Member States concerning foods and food ingredients treated with ionising radiation (1), and in particular Article 9(2) thereof,
         Whereas:
         
                     (1)
                  
                  
                     Directive 1999/2/EC provides that a foodstuff treated with ionising radiation may not be imported from a third country unless it has been treated in an irradiation facility approved by the European Union.
                  
               
                     (2)
                  
                  
                     Commission Decision 2002/840/EC (2) established a list of approved irradiation facilities in third countries.
                  
               
                     (3)
                  
                  
                     On 31 August 2021, the United Kingdom submitted an application for approval of the irradiation facility ‘Synergy Health’ located in Swindon, United Kingdom.
                  
               
                     (4)
                  
                  
                     The United Kingdom provided adequate evidence that the official supervision of that irradiation facility guarantees that the requirements of Article 7 of Directive 1999/2/EC are complied with.
                  
               
                     (5)
                  
                  
                     The irradiation facility ‘Synergy Health’ should be included in the list of approved irradiation facilities in third countries.
                  
               
                     (6)
                  
                  
                     Decision 2002/840/EC should therefore be amended accordingly.
                  
               
                     (7)
                  
                  
                     The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Plants, Animals, Food and Feed,
