(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) Decision 2007/27/EC has been amended by Commission Decisions 2007/557/EC(4) and 2008/452/EC.
