THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to the Treaty of Accession of Bulgaria and Romania,
Having regard to the Act of Accession of Bulgaria and Romania, and in particular Article 42 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Commission Decision 2007/27/EC (1) sets out lists of milk processing establishments in Romania that comply with the structural requirements laid down in Regulation (EC) No 852/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council (2) (compliant establishments) and are authorized to receive and process raw milk which is not in compliance with Regulation (EC) No 853/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council (3) (non-compliant milk).
(2) Chapter I of the Annex to Decision 2007/27/EC lists compliant establishments authorised to receive and process without separation compliant and non-compliant milk while Chapter II of that Annex lists compliant establishments authorised to receive and process separately compliant and non-compliant milk.
(3) Five establishments listed in Chapter I of the Annex to Decision 2007/27/EC have chosen to process only compliant milk. One establishment has ceased its activities. Those establishments should therefore be deleted from the list in Chapter I of that Annex.
(4) Furthermore, three other establishments have completed their upgrading plan and are now in full compliance with Community legislation. Those establishments should therefore be deleted from the list of establishments in transition. Those establishments process compliant and non-compliant milk without separation and should be added to the list in Chapter I of the Annex to Decision 2007/27/EC.
(5) Chapter I of the Annex to Decision 2007/27/EC should therefore be amended accordingly.
(6) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
