         COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING DECISION

   (notified under document C(2012) 2377)

   (2012/197/EU)
   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 organization 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:
   
               (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)
            
            
               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 31 July 2011. France has informed the Commission that due to a number of delays the upgrade of the facilities will only be concluded by 1 July 2012. It is therefore appropriate to extend the provisional approval for the border inspection post at the port of Marseille Port until that date. Note (15) of the special remarks in Annex I to Decision 2009/821/EC should therefore be amended accordingly. For the sake of legal certainty, that amendment should apply retroactively.
            
         
               (3)
            
            
               Following communication from Belgium, the inspection centre ‘Kaai 650’ in the border inspection post at the port of Antwerp should be deleted from the list of entries for that Member State as set out in Annex I to Decision 2009/821/EC.
            
         
               (4)
            
            
               The Commission inspection service (Food and Veterinary Office, FVO) carried out an audit in Bulgaria, following which it made a number of recommendations to that Member State. Bulgaria has communicated that the approval of the border inspection post at the road of Kapitan Andreevo should be amended to take account of those recommendations. The entry for that border inspection post should therefore be amended accordingly in the list of entries for that Member State as set out in Annex I to Decision 2009/821/EC.
            
         
               (5)
            
            
               FVO carried out an audit in Greece, following which it made a number of recommendations to that Member State. Greece has communicated that the approval for the category ‘equidae’ at the border inspection post at the road of Peplos should be temporarily suspended to take account of those recommendations. The entry for that border inspection post should therefore be amended accordingly in the list of entries for that Member State as set out in Annex I to Decision 2009/821/EC.
            
         
               (6)
            
            
               Following communication from Spain, the approval for the categories ‘equidae’ and ‘ungulates’ at the inspection centre ‘Flightcare’ in the border inspection post at the airport of Madrid should be deleted. The entry for that border inspection post should therefore be amended accordingly in the list of entries for that Member State as set out in Annex I to Decision 2009/821/EC.
            
         
               (7)
            
            
               Italy has communicated that the border inspection post of the airport of Brescia Montichiari should be deleted from the list of entries for that Member State and that the name of one inspection centre at the border inspection post at the airport of Roma-Fiumicino should be changed. In addition, Italy requested the temporary suspension of six border inspection posts and the temporary suspension of the approval for the categories ‘equidae’ and ‘ungulates’ at the border inspection post of the port at La Spezia. Italy has also requested the temporary suspension of the authorisation for all products of animal origin intended for human consumption, packed, and for products of animal origin not intended for human consumption, packed, frozen and chilled, together with the deletion of the approval for the category ‘other animals (including zoo animals)’ at the border inspection post of the airport of Milano-Linate. The list of entries for that Member State as set out in Annex I to Decision 2009/821/EC should therefore be amended accordingly.
            
         
               (8)
            
            
               The Netherlands has communicated that the name of one inspection centre within the border inspection post of Rotterdam has changed. The entry for that border inspection post should therefore be amended accordingly in the list of entries for that Member State as set out in Annex I to Decision 2009/821/EC.
            
         
               (9)
            
            
               Following communication from Romania, the approval for the category ‘live animals’ at one inspection centre at the border inspection post of Bucharest Henri Coandă Airport should be temporarily suspended. The entry for that border inspection post should therefore be amended accordingly in the list of entries for that Member State as set out in Annex I to Decision 2009/821/EC.
            
         
               (10)
            
            
               Annex II to Decision 2009/821/EC lays down the list of central units, regional units and local units in the integrated computerised veterinary system (Traces).
            
         
               (11)
            
            
               Following communications from Germany, Estonia, Ireland, Hungary and Austria, certain changes should be brought to the list of central, regional and local units in Traces for those Member States, laid down in Annex II to Decision 2009/821/EC.
            
         
               (12)
            
            
               Decision 2009/821/EC should therefore be amended accordingly.
            
         
               (13)
            
            
               The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
