In the light of the disease situation in certain areas of Bulgaria, Germany, France, Hungary and Slovakia, it is appropriate to extend the period of appli- cation of that Decision until 31 December 2011. (4)  In order to prevent the spread of classical swine fever from Romania to other Member States, Commission Decision  2006/779/EC  of 14 November 2006 concerning transitional animal health control measures relating to classical swine fever in Romania (*) was adopted. That Decision is to apply until 31 December 2009. (5)  Romania has provided information to the Commission, showing that the classical swine fever situation in that Member State has significantly improved. However, in view of the data available, additional animal health control measures should continue to apply in Romania with regard to classical swine fever. It is therefore appro- priate to include Romania in Part Il of the Annex to Decision 2008/855/EC. The inclusion of Romania in Part I of the Annex to Decision 2008/855/EC should be reviewed in the light of the results of a Union inspection to be carried out in Romania in the first semester of 2010.

In addition, the production, storage and processing of such meat and meat products or preparations should be carried out separately from that of other products consisting of, or containing meat from holdings located in the areas listed in Part IIl of the Annex to that Decision.
