THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,

Having regard to Council Directive 96/23/EC of 29 April 1996 on measures to monitor certain substances and residues thereof in live animals and animal products and repealing Directives 85/358/EEC and 86/469/EEC and Decisions 89/187/EEC and 91/664/EEC (1), and in particular Article 29(1), fourth subparagraph, and Article 29(2) thereof,

Whereas:

| (1) | Directive 96/23/EC requires that third countries from which Member States are authorised to import animals and animal products covered by that Directive submit residue monitoring plans providing the required guarantees (‘the plans’). The plans are to cover at least the groups of residues and substances listed in Annex I to Directive 96/23/EC. |

Directive 96/23/EC requires that third countries from which Member States are authorised to import animals and animal products covered by that Directive submit residue monitoring plans providing the required guarantees (‘the plans’). The plans are to cover at least the groups of residues and substances listed in Annex I to Directive 96/23/EC.

(2)

Commission Decision 2011/163/EU (2) approves the plans submitted by certain third countries concerning animals and animal products, which are listed in the Annex to that Decision.

| (3) | Certain third countries are using only raw material either from Member States or from other third countries approved for imports of such raw material to the Union, in accordance with Article 2 of Decision 2011/163/EU for the production of products intended for export to the Union. For the sake of clarity, entries for those countries should be marked with ‘Δ’, signifying triangular trade for the relevant species or commodity in the table of the Annex to Decision 2011/163/EU. |

(3)

Certain third countries are using only raw material either from Member States or from other third countries approved for imports of such raw material to the Union, in accordance with Article 2 of Decision 2011/163/EU for the production of products intended for export to the Union. For the sake of clarity, entries for those countries should be marked with ‘Δ’, signifying triangular trade for the relevant species or commodity in the table of the Annex to Decision 2011/163/EU.

| (4) | Third countries not having presented a plan for bovine, ovine/caprine, porcine, equine or poultry, but request to manufacture composite products destined to be exported to the Union by using processed animal products from those species, should, upon request, be allowed to prepare such composite products provided that they source those processed animal products either from a Member State or an approved third country subject to compliance with animal health and public health requirements set out in Commission Delegated Regulations (EU) 2019/625 (3) and (EU) 2020/692 (4) and Commission Implementing Regulations (EU) 2020/2235 (5) and (EU) 2021/404 (6). For the sake of clarity, entries for those countries should be marked with an ‘O’ in the column only for the relevant animal species requested in the table of the Annex to Decision 2011/163/EU. |

Third countries not having presented a plan for bovine, ovine/caprine, porcine, equine or poultry, but request to manufacture composite products destined to be exported to the Union by using processed animal products from those species, should, upon request, be allowed to prepare such composite products provided that they source those processed animal products either from a Member State or an approved third country subject to compliance with animal health and public health requirements set out in Commission Delegated Regulations (EU) 2019/625 (3) and (EU) 2020/692 (4) and Commission Implementing Regulations (EU) 2020/2235 (5) and (EU) 2021/404 (6). For the sake of clarity, entries for those countries should be marked with an ‘O’ in the column only for the relevant animal species requested in the table of the Annex to Decision 2011/163/EU.

| (5) | Third countries having presented a plan for either aquaculture products, milk or eggs, and request to manufacture composite products, should be allowed to prepare composite products destined to be exported to the Union containing such processed products, by using any of those processed products, provided that processed products for which they have not presented a plan are sourced from Member States or approved third countries. For the sake of clarity, entries for those countries should be marked with an ‘O’ for the remaining of those categories in the table of the Annex to Decision 2011/163/EU. |

For the sake of clarity, entries for those countries should be marked with an ‘O’ for the remaining of those categories in the table of the Annex to Decision 2011/163/EU.

| (6) | The listing of third countries for molluscs is necessary due to the change in the certification requirements for farmed molluscs. At present, there is no requirement under Directive 96/23/EC, for third countries to submit to the Commission plans for molluscs. The only relevant residue monitoring for the production of farmed molluscs concerning contaminants is carried out pursuant to Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/627 (7), and the third countries satisfying those conditions are listed in Annex VIII to Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2021/405 (8). Since those third countries fulfil the requirements of Articles 56 to 59 of Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/627 including on the residue monitoring, therefore for the sake of clarity, those countries should be marked with an ‘M’ in the column ‘Aquaculture’ in the table of the Annex to Decision 2011/163/EU, signifying ‘molluscs’. |

| (7) | Certain countries requested to export to the Union composite products containing processed products from molluscs originating either from Member States or approved third countries listed in Annex VIII to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2021/405. Countries marked with an ‘X’ in the table of the Annex to Decision 2011/163/EU for at least one of the following commodities: bovine, ovine/caprine, equine, porcine, poultry, aquaculture, milk, eggs or game, have provided the sufficient guarantees related to their official control system in place. Therefore, all those countries should be marked with a ‘P’ in the column ‘Aquaculture’ of that table allowing them to use processed products from molluscs originating either from Member States or approved third countries for the production and export of composite products containing processed products from molluscs. |

| (8) | In the table of the Annex to Decision 2011/163/EU, the category ‘Aquaculture products’ is divided into four sub-categories, in order to align these sub-categories with the ones covered by model certificates for entry into the Union set out in Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2020/2235 (9), and the corresponding lists of third countries authorised for the entry into the Union of such products laid down in Implementing Regulation (EU) 2021/405. |

| (9) | Recent experience has shown that such sub-categorisation of aquaculture products does not provide the necessary clarity for control staff at the Union border control posts. Therefore, it is appropriate to revert to a single column for ‘Aquaculture’ in the table of the Annex to Decision 2011/163/EU. |
