Whereas:

(1)

Commission Decision 2007/27/EC1 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 Council2 (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 Council3 (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.

(6)

Chapter I of the Annex to Decision 2007/27/EC should therefore be amended accordingly.
