with the relevant requirements provided for in Union legislation as regar ds contamination by aflatoxins and no 
long er required an increased level of official controls. Nonetheless, data from RASFF notifi cations and information 
regarding official controls performe d by the Member States in the second semester of 2022 indicate the emerge nce 
of new risks to human health requir ing special import conditions, due to a possible contamination by aflatoxins of 
pistac hios and derived products originating in the United States and dispatch ed to the Union from Türkiye.
(34) In order to ensure protection against potential health risks arising from a possible contamination by the hazards 
refer red to in Annex II to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/1793, a point 3 listing food and feed of non-animal 
origin dispatched to the Union from a third countr y other than the countr y of origin should be added in that Annex.
(35) In light of the new information relat ed to consignments of pistac hios and derived products originating in the United 
State s and dispatche d to the Union from Türkiy e, it is necessar y to establish special conditions govern ing their entr y 
into the Union. Theref ore, pistachios and derived products originating in the Unit ed States and dispatche d to the 
Union from Türkiye should be included in point 3 of Annex II to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/1793, with a 
frequency of identity and physical chec ks set at 50 % of consignments entering the Union, and should be 
accompan ied by an official certificate issued by the compet ent author ities of Türkiye stating that all the results of 
sampli ng show compl iance with Regulation (EC) No 1881/2006.
(36) In order to ensure legal certainty for the entr y into the Union of consignments that have already been dispatched 
from the countr y of origin or from another third countr y if that countr y is differ ent from the countr y of origin, 
when this Regulation enters into force, it is appropr iate to provi de for a transitional period for consignments of 
unpro cessed apricot kernels from Türkiye intended to be placed on the market for the final consumer and for 
consignments of pistac hios and derived products originating in the United States and dispatch ed to the Union from 
Türkiye, which are not accompanied by the results of sampli ng and analyses and an official certificate. At the same 
time, public health prot ection is ensured for consignments of unprocessed apricot kernels from Türkiye intended to 
be placed on the mark et for the final consumer and for consignments of pistac hios and derived products originating 
in the Unit ed State s and dispatched to the Union from Türkiye , since those commodities are subject to identity and 
physical chec ks at a frequency of 50 % of consignments entering the Union.
(37) Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/1793 should theref ore be amended according ly. In order to ensure consist ency 
and clarity, it is appropr iate to replace Annex es I and II to Imple menting Regulation (EU) 2019/1793 in their entirety 
by the text set out in the Annex to this Regulation.
(38) The measures provid ed for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committ ee on 
Plants, Animals, Food and Feed,
