THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

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

Having regard to Regulation (EU) 2017/625 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 15 March 2017 on official controls and other official activities performed to ensure the application of food and feed law, rules on animal health and welfare, plant health and plant protection products, amending Regulations (EC) No 999/2001, (EC) No 396/2005, (EC) No 1069/2009, (EC) No 1107/2009, (EU) No 1151/2012, (EU) No 652/2014, (EU) 2016/429 and (EU) 2016/2031 of the European Parliament and of the Council, Council Regulations (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 2008/120/EC, and repealing Regulations (EC) No 854/2004 and (EC) No 882/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council, Council Directives 89/608/EEC, 89/662/EEC, 90/425/EEC, 91/496/EEC, 96/23/EC, 96/93/EC and 97/78/EC and Council Decision 92/438/EEC (Official Controls Regulation) (1), and in particular Article 48, points (b), (d), (e), (f) and (h), and Article 126(1) thereof,

Whereas:

| (1) | Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2019/625 (2) supplements Regulation (EU) 2017/625 as regards the requirements for entry in the Union of consignments of certain animals and goods intended for human consumption from third countries or regions thereof in order to ensure that they comply with the applicable requirements or with requirements recognised to be at least equivalent thereto. |

(1)

Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2019/625 (2) supplements Regulation (EU) 2017/625 as regards the requirements for entry in the Union of consignments of certain animals and goods intended for human consumption from third countries or regions thereof in order to ensure that they comply with the applicable requirements or with requirements recognised to be at least equivalent thereto.

| (2) | Apart from requiring that products of animal origin intended for human consumption enter the Union from a third country or region thereof included in the relevant lists, Article 3, point (a), of Delegated Regulation (EU) 2019/625 refers to specific Combined Nomenclature codes (‘CN codes’) and Harmonised System codes (‘HS codes’) that must have been laid down for the products concerned. |

(2)

Apart from requiring that products of animal origin intended for human consumption enter the Union from a third country or region thereof included in the relevant lists, Article 3, point (a), of Delegated Regulation (EU) 2019/625 refers to specific Combined Nomenclature codes (‘CN codes’) and Harmonised System codes (‘HS codes’) that must have been laid down for the products concerned.

| (3) | Until 31 December 2020, the importation of vitamin D3 derived from lanolin of sheep wool referred to by the HS codes under heading 2936 in Part Two of Annex I to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87 (3) was allowed based on transitional measures laid down in Commission Regulation (EU) 2017/185 (4). The Union is highly dependent on the importation of this product. Due to the robust process by which vitamin D3 is obtained from lanolin, there is no public health concern related to the importation of such product. Importation of vitamin D3 derived from lanolin should therefore be authorised again and the appropriate heading introduced in Article 3, point (a), of Delegated Regulation (EU) 2019/625. |

| (4) | Hardened gelatine or unhardened gelatine capsules are produced from gelatine by enhanced heating. Such gelatine should therefore comply with the import conditions for gelatine, such as the requirement that these products originate from third countries or regions thereof authorised to export these products to the Union and the guarantees to be provided on the manufacturing of raw materials in accordance with Article 7 of Delegated Regulation (EU) 2019/625. However, as the public health risk from establishments manufacturing such gelatine is negligible, gelatine capsules should be exempted from the requirements for entry into the Union in relation to establishments and certification, except, as regards certification, when derived from ruminant bones in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 999/2001 of the European Parliament and of the Council (5). |

It is appropriate to clarify the applicable codes in order to avoid any ambiguity as regards which codes apply to those goods. Missing codes should be added and codes which are not relevant or redundant should be removed. |

| (6) | Bee pollen flour, referred to by CN code ex 1212 99 95, may represent a public health risk related to the presence of residues of environmental contaminants similar to other apiculture products. Similar requirements for entry into the Union should apply to bee pollen flour as to other apiculture products. |

Consequently, Article 8(2), point (b), of Delegated Regulation (EU) 2019/625, which details the conditions of this derogation, should be amended accordingly. |

Consequently, Article 8(2), point (b), of Delegated Regulation (EU) 2019/625, which details the conditions of this derogation, should be amended accordingly.

| (8) | In accordance with Article 12(2), point (c), of Delegated Regulation (EU) 2019/625, composite products referred to in Article 12(1) of that Regulation that do not need to be transported or stored under controlled temperatures and which contain processed products of animal origin other than processed meat, for which requirements are laid down in Annex III to Regulation (EC) No 853/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council (7), are to originate from third countries or regions thereof authorised to export meat products, dairy products, colostrum-based products, fishery products or egg products to the Union on the basis of the Union animal and public health requirements and which are listed at least for one of these products of animal origin pursuant to Article 3 of Delegated Regulation (EU) 2019/625. |

In accordance with Article 12(2), point (c), of Delegated Regulation (EU) 2019/625, composite products referred to in Article 12(1) of that Regulation that do not need to be transported or stored under controlled temperatures and which contain processed products of animal origin other than processed meat, for which requirements are laid down in Annex III to Regulation (EC) No 853/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council (7), are to originate from third countries or regions thereof authorised to export meat products, dairy products, colostrum-based products, fishery products or egg products to the Union on the basis of the Union animal and public health requirements and which are listed at least for one of these products of animal origin pursuant to Article 3 of Delegated Regulation (EU) 2019/625.

| (9) | Considering the animal health risks related to colostrum-based products and the absence of effective treatments to mitigate them, shelf-stable composite products containing colostrum-based products should originate from countries authorised to export colostrum-based products to the Union. Shelf-stable composite products containing colostrum-based products should also no longer benefit from the possibility of being accompanied by a private attestation instead of an official certificate. |

Shelf-stable composite products containing colostrum-based products should also no longer benefit from the possibility of being accompanied by a private attestation instead of an official certificate.

| (10) | Gelatine, collagen and certain highly refined products can be imported without submitting a residue monitoring plan and, consequently, it should not be necessary that countries are listed in the Annex to Commission Decision 2011/163/EU (8) to be allowed to export these products to the Union or to use these products as ingredients in composite products for export to the Union, although listing in accordance with Articles 18, 19 or 22 of Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2021/405 (9) remains mandatory. In addition, certain third countries should be able export to the Union shelf-stable composite products not containing colostrum-based products or processed meat using processed products of animal origin that have been sourced either from a Member State or from a third country listed, for the relevant species/commodity from which those processed products are derived, in the Annex to Decision 2011/163/EU. |

| (11) | Shelf-stable composite products where the only animal products present in the final composite product are vitamin D3, food additives, food enzymes or food flavourings, represent a negligible risk due to their manufacturing process. These products should therefore be exempted from the listing of countries and from the private attestation requirements. |
