THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,  
Having regard to the Treaty on  the Functioning of the European Union ,

No 1107/2009, (EU) 1151/2012, (EU) No 652/2014, (EU) 2016/429 and (EU) 2016/2031 of 
the European Parliament and  of the Council, Council Regulation (EC) No 1/2005 and (EC) 
No 1099/2009 and Council Directives 98/58/EC, 1999/74/EC, 2007/43/EC, 2008/119/EC and

92/438/EEC1, and in particular Article 47(3)  thereof,  
Whereas:  
(1) Regulation (EU) 2017/625 of the European Parliament and of the Council establishes 
the framework for official controls and other official activities to verify the correct 
application of Union food and feed law. That framework includes official controls 
performed on animals and goods entering the Union from third countries.  
(2) Regulation (EU) 2017/625 requires for certain categories of animals and goods  that 
each consignment is made subject to official controls at  designated border control 
posts  of first arriva l into the Union , because of the risk those categories of animals and 
goods may pose to public and animal health . 
(3) In addition to th e categories of consignments already listed in Regulation (EU) 
2017/625, foodstuffs containing both products of plant origin and processed products 
of animal origin (composite products), as well as hay and straw should undergo 
official controls at border control posts as they too may pose a risk to public and 
animal health.  
(4) Regulation (EU) 2017/625  should therefore be amended ac cordingly.  
(5) Since Regulation (EU) 2017/625 applies from 14 December 2019, this Regulation 
should also apply from that date,
