COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) No 799/2011  
of 9 August 2011  
amending Annex I to Commission 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 imports of certain feed and food of non-animal origin  
(Text with EEA relevance)  
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,  
Having regard 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 April 2004 on official 
controls performed to ensure the verification of compliance 
with feed and food law, animal health and animal welfare 
rules (  1 ), and in particular Article 15(5) thereof,  
Whereas:  
(1) Commission Regulation (EC) No 669/2009 (  2 ) lays down 
rules concerning the increased level of official controls to 
be carried out on imports of feed and food of non- 
animal origin listed in Annex I thereto (‘the list’), at the 
points of entry 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 
quarterly, taking into account at least the sources of 
information referred to in that Article.  
(3) The occurrence and relevance of food incidents notified 
through the Rapid Alert System for Food and Feed 
(RASFF), the findings of missions to third countries 
carried out by the Food and Veterinary Office, as well 
as the quarterly reports on consignments of feed and 
food of non-animal origin submitted by Member States 
to the Commission 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 
entries for commodities for which those information 
sources indicate an overall satisfactory degree of 
compliance with the relevant safety requirements 
provided for in Union legislation and for which an 
increased level of official control is therefore no longer 
justified.  
(5) In addition, certain other commodities for which the 
information sources indicate a degree of non-compliance with the relevant safety requirements, thereby warranting 
the introduction of an increased level of official controls, 
should be included in the list.  
(6) The entries in the list for certain imports from Azer ­
baijan, China, Egypt, India and Pakistan should 
therefore be amended accordingly.  
(7) As regards the entry for imports of fresh peppers from 
Thailand, a clarification is necessary in the interest of 
clarity of Union legislation concerning the CN codes 
affected.  
(8) The amendment to the list concerning the deletion of the 
references to commodities should apply as soon as 
possible, as the original safety concerns have been 
satisfied. Accordingly, those amendments should apply 
from the date of entry into force of this Regulation.  
(9) Taking into account the number of amendments that 
need to be made to Annex I to Regulation (EC) 
No 669/2009, it is appropriate to replace it by the text 
in the Annex to this Regulation.  
(10) Regulation (EC) No 669/2009 should therefore be 
amended accordingly.  
(11) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in 
accordance with the opinion of the Standing 
Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,  
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:  
Article 1  
Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 669/2009 is replaced by the text 
in the Annex to this Regulation.  
Article 2  
This Regulation shall enter into force on the third day following 
its publication in the  Official Journal of the European Union . 
It shall apply from 1 October 2011.  
However, the deletion of the entry for Pakistan for basmati rice 
shall apply from the date of entry into force of this Regulation.EN 10.8.2011 Official Journal of the European Union L 205/15
