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, and in particular Article 4(3) thereof,
Having regard to the Act of Accession of Bulgaria and Romania, and in particular Article 42 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Regulation (EC) No 852/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 29 April 2004 on the hygiene of foodstuffs(1) lays down general rules for food business operators on the hygiene of foodstuffs, based on hazard analysis and critical control points principles. It provides that food business operators are to comply with the structural requirements based on those principles. Regulation (EC) No 853/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 29 April 2004 laying down specific hygiene rules for food of animal origin(2) supplements the rules laid down in Regulation (EC) No 852/2004. The rules laid down in Regulation (EC) No 853/2004 include specific requirements for milk processing establishments, as well as hygiene requirements concerning raw milk and dairy products.
(2) Romania is due to accede to the Community on 1 January 2007. In preparation for that accession, milk processing establishments are undergoing the necessary structural improvements in order to comply with the structural requirements laid down in Regulation (EC) No 852/2004. Since 2004 the number of establishments in compliance with Community structural requirements has increased from 12 to 123.
(3) However, the proportion of raw milk that complies with the hygiene requirements, laid down in Regulation (EC) No 853/2004, delivered to milk processing establishments that comply with the structural requirements of Regulation (EC) No 852/2004 has only increased slightly. In 2005 out of the total production of 5,6 Mio t raw cow milk per year, 0,38 Mio t compliant raw milk was delivered to milk processing establishments.
(4) Taking into account the current situation, it is appropriate to provide for transitional measures as regards the organisation of the milk sector in Romania.
(5) In this respect, Annex VII, Chapter 5, Subsection I, point (c) of the Act of Accession of Bulgaria and Romania, authorises temporarily certain milk processing establishments that do not comply with the structural requirements laid down in Regulations (EC) No 852/2004 to receive deliveries of raw milk that does not comply with the relevant hygiene requirements laid down in Regulation (EC) No 853/2004 (‘non-compliant milk’).
(6) Milk production holdings that do not comply with the hygiene requirements set out in Regulation (EC) No 853/2004 and milk processing establishments that do comply with the structural requirements set out in Regulation (EC) No 852/2004 are spread over the whole territory of Romania. Accordingly, certain of the compliant establishments receive raw milk that complies with the relevant hygiene requirements set out in Regulation (EC) No 853/2004 (‘compliant milk’) as well as non-compliant milk. Therefore, the marketing of final products from the compliant establishments should be restricted to Romania. In addition, a list of those compliant establishments should be set out in this Decision.
(7) Furthermore, certain compliant establishments intend to process separately compliant and non-compliant milk. It is therefore necessary to establish the conditions as regards the collection and treatment of such milk and the marketing of the final products thereof. A list of those compliant establishments processing those two types of milk should also be set out in this Decision.
(8) The transitional period granted should be limited to 18 months. The situation of the milk sector in Romania is to be reviewed before the end of that period. Accordingly, it is appropriate that Romania submit annual reports to the Commission regarding progress in the upgrading of milk production holdings supplying raw milk to compliant establishments.
(9) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion with the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:
Chapters I and II of the Annex to this Decision set out lists of milk processing establishments in Romania that comply with the structural requirements of Regulation (EC) No 852/2004, Annex II, Chapter II (‘compliant establishments’) and are authorized to receive and process raw milk which is not in compliance with Chapter I Part III, 3 and Chapter II Part III of Section IX of Annex III to Regulation (EC) No 853/2004 (non-compliant milk).

comply with Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 852/2004;
demonstrate their capacity to comply with the following conditions, including designating the separate production lines:
to take all necessary measures to allow for the proper observance of in-house procedures for the separation of raw milk from collection up to the final production stage, including routes of milk collection, separate storage and treatment of both compliant and non-compliant milk and specific packaging and labelling of dairy products whether or not they are derived from compliant or non-compliant milk, as well as separate storage of such milk;
to establish a procedure ensuring raw milk traceability, including the necessary documentary evidence of product movements and the accountancy for dairy products and the reconciliation of compliant and non-compliant milk with the categories of dairy products produced;
to expose all raw milk to heat treatment at a temperature of minimum 71,7 °C for 15 seconds;
to take all appropriate measures to ensure that identification marks referred to Annex II, Section I of Regulation (EC) No 853/2004 are not used fraudulently.
1.The competent authorities in Romania shall:
(a)ensure that food business operators of compliant establishments listed in Chapter II of the Annex take all necessary measures to allow for the proper observance of in-house procedures for the separation of raw milk and dairy products;
(b)conduct tests and unannounced controls in compliant establishments listed in Chapter II of the Annex relating to their observance of raw milk and dairy products separation;
(c)conduct tests in approved laboratories on all raw milk and finished products from compliant establishments listed in Chapter II of the Annex to this Decision to verify their compliance with the requirements of Chapter II of Section IX of Annex III to Regulation (EC) No 853/2004, including the microbiological criteria for dairy products.
2.The milk and dairy products originating in the compliant establishments listed in Chapter II of the Annex processed from non-compliant raw milk may only be placed on the domestic market or used for further processing in other such establishments or establishments listed in Chapter I and bear a different identification mark from those provided for in Article 5(1) of Regulation (EC) No 853/2004.
3.Only dairy products, produced in compliant milk establishments listed in Chapter II of the Annex to this Decision and complying with paragraphs 1 of this Article and the requirements of Annex III, Section IX of Regulation (EC) No 853/2004, may be marketed as compliant products complying with the provisions of that Regulation.
1.Romania shall ensure the gradual compliance by the milk production holdings, referred to in Article 2(1) of this Decision, with the requirements Annex III, Section IX, Chapter I, parts II and III of Regulation (EC) No 853/2004.
2.Romania shall submit annual reports to the Commission on progress made in upgrading milk production holdings and the milk collection system.
Milk and milk products produced under the provisions referred to in Articles 3 and 4 of the present Decision shall only be granted support under Title I, Chapters II and III, except Article 11 thereof, and Title II of Council Regulation (EC) No 1255/1999(3) if they carry the oval identification mark referred to in Annex II, Section I, of Regulation (EC) No 853/2004.
This Decision shall apply subject to and as from the date of the entry into force of the Treaty of Accession of Bulgaria and Romania.
It shall apply until [F131 December 2009].
