THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

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

Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 853/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 29 April 2004 on laying specific hygiene rules for food of animal origin (1), and in particular Article 7(2), point (a), thereof,

Having regard to Regulation (EU) 2016/429 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 9 March 2016 on transmissible animal diseases and amending and repealing certain acts in the area of animal health (‘Animal Health Law’) (2), and in particular Articles 238(3) and 239(3) thereof,

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) (3), and in particular Article 90, first paragraph , points (a) and (b), and Article 126(3) thereof,

Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2020/2235 (4) lays down rules regarding, inter alia, official certificates provided for in Regulation (EU) 2017/625 required for the entry into the Union of certain consignments of products of animals origin. In particular, Annex III to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2020/2235 lays down, inter alia, model animal health/official certificates and official certificates for the entry into the Union of consignments of certain fishery products and highly refined products of animal origin.

| (2) | Chapters 30 and 31 of Annex III to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2020/2235 set out, respectively, the model official certificate for the entry into the Union of fishery products or fishery products derived from bivalve molluscs intended for human consumption entering the Union directly from a reefer, freezer or factory vessel flying the flag of a third country as provided for in Article 11(3) of Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2019/625 (5) (model FISH/MOL-CAP) and the model animal health/official certificate for the entry into the Union of live bivalve molluscs, echinoderms, tunicates, marine gastropods and products of animal origin from those animals intended for human consumption (model MOL-HC). Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2022/2258 (6) amended Article 11 of Delegated Regulation (EU) 2019/624 (7), whereby the classification of production and relaying areas is not required in relation to the harvesting of echinoderms which are not filter feeders. The model official certificate and the model animal health/official certificate for the entry into the Union of such fishery products should therefore be amended accordingly. |

Chapters 30 and 31 of Annex III to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2020/2235 set out, respectively, the model official certificate for the entry into the Union of fishery products or fishery products derived from bivalve molluscs intended for human consumption entering the Union directly from a reefer, freezer or factory vessel flying the flag of a third country as provided for in Article 11(3) of Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2019/625 (5) (model FISH/MOL-CAP) and the model animal health/official certificate for the entry into the Union of live bivalve molluscs, echinoderms, tunicates, marine gastropods and products of animal origin from those animals intended for human consumption (model MOL-HC). Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2022/2258 (6) amended Article 11 of Delegated Regulation (EU) 2019/624 (7), whereby the classification of production and relaying areas is not required in relation to the harvesting of echinoderms which are not filter feeders. The model official certificate and the model animal health/official certificate for the entry into the Union of such fishery products should therefore be amended accordingly.

| (3) | Chapter 46 of Annex III to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2020/2235 sets out the model official certificate for the entry into the Union of highly refined chondroitin sulphate, hyaluronic acid, other hydrolysed cartilage products, chitosan, glucosamine, rennet, isinglass and amino acids intended for human consumption (model HRP). Delegated Regulation (EU) 2022/2258 amended Regulation (EC) No 853/2004, adding fat derivatives and food flavourings that are authorised in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 1334/2008 of the European Parliament and of the Council (8), subject to treatments excluding any public or animal health risk, as highly refined products. The model official certificate for the entry into the Union of such highly refined products should be amended accordingly. |

| (5) | The model private attestation set out in Annex V to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2020/2235 for operators entering shelf-stable composite products into the Union should also be updated to facilitate filling out of the document, reflecting the experience gained, adding explanations and notes in order to facilitate provision of the information by importing food business operators. 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 (9) 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 (10) remains mandatory. Therefore, the private attestation set out in Annex V to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2020/2235 should be replaced by an updated version. |

This animal health/official certificate is intended for entry into the Union of live bi-valve molluscs and products of animal origin from those animals intended for human consumption, including when the Union is not the final destination of such bivalve molluscs and their products.

‘Aquatic animals’ are animals as defined in Article 4, point (3), of Regulation (EU) 2016/429 of the European Parliament and of the Council (27)‘Aquaculture animals’ are aquatic animals which are subject to aquaculture as defined in Article 4, point (7), of Regulation (EU) 2016/429.

‘Further processing’ means any type of measures and techniques, carried out before the placing on the market for human consumption, affecting anatomical wholeness, such as bleeding, evisceration, heading, slicing and filleting which produce waste or by-products which could cause a risk of disease spread.

All aquatic animals and products of animal origin from aquatic animals other than live aquatic animals, to which Part II.2.4. of this animal health/official certificate applies, must originate from a country/territory/zone/compartment which appears in column 2 of the table in Part 1 of Annex XXI to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2021/404.
