of 4 December 2014 
amending Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 669/2009 implementing Regulation (EC) No 882/2004 of 
the European Parliament and of the Council as regards the increased level of official controls on 
impor ts of certain feed and food of non-animal origin 
(Text with EEA relevance) 
THE EUR OPEAN COMMISSION, 
Having regar d to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, 
Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 882/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 29 Apr il 2004 on 
official controls perf ormed to ensure the verification of compliance with feed and food law, animal health and animal 
welf are rules (1), and in particular Article 15(5) thereof, 
Whereas: 
(1)  Commission Regulation (EC) No 669/2009 (2) lays down rules concer ning the increased level of official controls 
to be carried out on impor ts of feed and food of non-animal origin liste d in Annex I thereto (‘the list’), at the 
points of entr y into the territories referred to in Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 882/2004. 
(2)  Article 2 of Regulation (EC) No 669/2009 provides that the list is to be reviewed on a regular basis, and at least 
quar terly , taking into account at least the sources of information refer red to in that Article. 
(3)  The occur rence and relevance of recent food incidents notified through the Rapid Aler t System for Food and 
Feed, the findings of audits to third countr ies carried out by the Food and Veterinar y Office, as well as the quar ­
terly repor ts on consignments of feed and food of non-animal origin submitted by Member States to the Commis ­
sion in accordance with Article 15 of Regulation (EC) No 669/2009 indicate that the list should be amended. 
(4) In particular , the list should be amended by deleting the entr ies for commodities for whic h the available informa­
tion indicates an overall satisfact ory degree of compl iance with the relevant safety requirements provided for in 
Union legislation and for whic h an increased level of official controls is theref ore no long er justified. The entr ies 
in the list concer ning oranges from Egypt and coriander leaves, basil and mint from Thailand should theref ore be 
delet ed. 
(5)  In addition, the list should be amended by increasing the frequency of official controls for the commodities for 
whic h the same sources of information show a higher degree of non-com pliance with the relevant Union legisla ­
tion, thereby warranting an increased level of official controls. The entr ies in the list concer ning dried spices from 
India, betel leav es from India and Thailand and vine leaves from Turke y should theref ore be amended according ly. 
(6)  In order to ensure consistency and clarity, it is appropr iate to replace Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 669/2009 
by the text set out in the Annex to this Regulation. 
(7)  Regulation (EC) No 669/2009 should theref ore be amended according ly. 
(8)  The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committ ee on 
Plants, Animals, Food and Feed,
