COMMISSION REGULATION (EU) 2020/797

of 17 June 2020

amending Regulation (EU) No 142/2011 as regards requirements for animal by-products and derived products originating from, and returning to, the Union following refusal of entry by a third country

(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 1069/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 21 October 2009 laying down health rules as regards animal by-products and derived products not intended for human consumption and repealing Regulation (EC) No 1774/2002 (1), and in particular the first subparagraph of Article 41(3) and Article 42(2)(a) thereof,

Whereas:

| (1) | Commission Regulation (EU) No 142/2011 (2) lays down measures to implement the rules laid down in Regulation (EC) No 1069/2009, including public and animal health rules for import or transit of animal by-products and derived products into, or sent in transit through the Union, in order to prevent and minimise risks to public and animal health arising from those products. |
| --- | --- |

(1)

Commission Regulation (EU) No 142/2011 (2) lays down measures to implement the rules laid down in Regulation (EC) No 1069/2009, including public and animal health rules for import or transit of animal by-products and derived products into, or sent in transit through the Union, in order to prevent and minimise risks to public and animal health arising from those products.

| (2) | Article 15 of Council Directive 97/78/EC (3) lays down rules concerning the veterinary checks to be conducted for the purposes of authorising the re-importation of consignments of products of Union origin returning to the Union following a refusal of entry by a third country. Regulation (EU) 2017/625 of the European Parliament and of the Council (4) repeals and replaces Directive 97/78/EC with effect from 14 December 2019. |
| --- | --- |

(2)

Article 15 of Council Directive 97/78/EC (3) lays down rules concerning the veterinary checks to be conducted for the purposes of authorising the re-importation of consignments of products of Union origin returning to the Union following a refusal of entry by a third country. Regulation (EU) 2017/625 of the European Parliament and of the Council (4) repeals and replaces Directive 97/78/EC with effect from 14 December 2019.

| (3) | Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2019/2074 (5) establishes rules for the performance of specific official controls of consignments of animals and goods referred to in Article 47(1)(a), (b) and (c) of Regulation (EU) 2017/625 originating from, and returning to, the Union following a refusal of entry by a third country, among them animal by-products and derived products. |
| --- | --- |

(3)

Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2019/2074 (5) establishes rules for the performance of specific official controls of consignments of animals and goods referred to in Article 47(1)(a), (b) and (c) of Regulation (EU) 2017/625 originating from, and returning to, the Union following a refusal of entry by a third country, among them animal by-products and derived products.

| (4) | The animal and public health requirements for the entry into the Union of animal by-products and derived products originating from, and returning to, the Union following a refusal of entry by a third country should be established in accordance with Articles 41 and 42 of Regulation (EC) No 1069/2009. |
| --- | --- |

(4)

The animal and public health requirements for the entry into the Union of animal by-products and derived products originating from, and returning to, the Union following a refusal of entry by a third country should be established in accordance with Articles 41 and 42 of Regulation (EC) No 1069/2009.

| (5) | In the absence of animal and public health requirements relevant for the return of refused consignments of animal by-products and derived products, those consignments are subject to the general import rules set out in Regulation (EC) No 1069/2009 and product-specific requirements for importation set out in Annex XIV to Regulation (EU) No 142/2011, which could prevent the return to the Union of certain consignments of EU origin following refusal by a third country, for example because of the absence of the product-specific commercial document or health certificate required for entry. |
| --- | --- |

(5)

In the absence of animal and public health requirements relevant for the return of refused consignments of animal by-products and derived products, those consignments are subject to the general import rules set out in Regulation (EC) No 1069/2009 and product-specific requirements for importation set out in Annex XIV to Regulation (EU) No 142/2011, which could prevent the return to the Union of certain consignments of EU origin following refusal by a third country, for example because of the absence of the product-specific commercial document or health certificate required for entry.

| (6) | However, animal and public health risk posed by animal by-products and derived products originating from the Union is different to risks posed by those commodities originating in third countries. A consignment of animal by-products and derived products originating from, and returning to, the Union following a refusal of entry by third countries therefore does not need to be accompanied by a commercial document, health certificate or where appropriate declaration which corresponds to a model currently laid down pursuant to point (d) of the first subparagraph of Article 42(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1069/2009 as required for consignments originating from third countries. |

| (7) | The aforementioned consignment should be allowed to enter the Union and to be sent to any establishment or plant approved in accordance with Article 24 of Regulation (EC) No 1069/2009 for the Category and type of animal by-products and derived products, provided that the competent authority of the place of destination in the Union has agreed to accept that consignment. |

| (8) | Certain consignments of animal by-products or derived products intended for export to third countries may be subject to checks by a competent authority in the Union other than those responsible for animal by-products or derived products. If the original seal has been replaced during those checks, the number of the new seal should be indicated in the accompanying documentation. |

| (9) | Therefore, to ensure appropriate animal and public health risk management and legal certainty, it is necessary to provide for conditions for the return to the Union of animal by-products and derived products of Union origin following a refusal of entry by a third country. |

Therefore, to ensure appropriate animal and public health risk management and legal certainty, it is necessary to provide for conditions for the return to the Union of animal by-products and derived products of Union origin following a refusal of entry by a third country.

| (8) | The Commission has examined the measures taken by Bulgaria and Hungary, in accordance with Directive 2005/94/EC, and it is satisfied that the boundaries of the protection and surveillance zones established by the competent authority of Bulgaria, and the new protection zones established by the competent authority of Hungary, are at a sufficient distance to the holdings where the recent outbreaks of highly pathogenic avian influenza of subtype H5N8 have been confirmed. Therefore, the protection zones listed for Hungary in Implementing Decision (EU) 2020/47 should be amended, and new protection and surveillance zones should be listed for Bulgaria. |

Therefore, the protection zones listed for Hungary in Implementing Decision (EU) 2020/47 should be amended, and new protection and surveillance zones should be listed for Bulgaria.

| (9) | Accordingly, Implementing Decision (EU) 2020/47 should be amended to update regionalisation at Union level to include a listing of the new protection and surveillance zones established by Bulgaria and also the new protection zones established by Hungary, in accordance with Directive 2005/94/EC, and the duration of the restrictions applicable therein. |

| (10) | In addition, since the date of adoption of Implementing Decision (EU) 2020/47, the epidemiological situation in the Union has continued to evolve, being particularly unfavourable in Hungary where 264 outbreaks of highly pathogenic avian influenza of subtype H5N8 were confirmed in the Bács-Kiskun and Csongrád counties, out of the total 273 outbreaks confirmed in that Member State. The severity of the epidemiological situation was influenced, among other factors, by the high density of poultry holdings and the high density of the poultry population present in the affected areas in those counties. |

The severity of the epidemiological situation was influenced, among other factors, by the high density of poultry holdings and the high density of the poultry population present in the affected areas in those counties.

| (11) | In areas with a high density of poultry, and certain poultry species that are particularly susceptible to the risk of infection, there is an increased risk for the spread of the highly pathogenic avian influenza virus. Accordingly, the areas in the Bács-Kiskun and Csongrád counties of Hungary can be considered as high-risk areas for the spread of the highly pathogenic avian influenza. Therefore, in order to control the multiplication and the spread of the virus the density of the susceptible poultry population has to be decreased in those high-risk areas and movements of poultry and day-old chicks should be more limited than is permitted in the control measures laid down in Directive 2005/94/EC. More stringent protection measures are needed due to the evolution of the current epidemic of highly pathogenic avian influenza. |

| (12) | Given the large scale of the outbreaks in Bács-Kiskun and Csongrád counties and the large number of poultry still present in the protection and surveillance zones established for the outbreaks in those counties, to mitigate the risk of poultry becoming exposed to the highly pathogenic avian influenza virus circulating in those areas, and to prevent the spread of highly pathogenic avian influenza, and in accordance with the precautionary principle, it is necessary to adopt protection measures to be applied in those high risk areas, in addition to the control measures already laid down in Directive 2005/94/EC, by not allowing the poultry and day-old chicks to be moved from and to holdings within those high risk areas and delaying the restocking of poultry in those areas by not allowing poultry or day-old chicks to be moved to holdings in those areas. |

| (13) | Implementing Decision (EU) 2020/47 should therefore be amended in order to provide for additional protection measures to be applied in these high-risk areas in Hungary. In addition, the Annex to that Implementing Decision should be replaced by two Annexes, namely Annex I which lists the protection and surveillance zones established in accordance with Directive 2005/94/EC, and Annex II referring to areas of the protection and surveillance zones listed in Annex I which present a particularly high risk for the spread of the highly pathogenic avian influenza virus and where the additional protection measures should be applied due to the current epidemical situation in Bács-Kiskun and Csongrád counties of Hungary. Accordingly, the high risk areas of those counties should be referred to in Annex II to Implementing Decision (EU) 2020/47. |

| (14) | The density of the susceptible poultry population in the high risk areas of the protection and surveillance zones as referred to in Annex II of Implementing Decision (EU) 2020/47 should be reduced, in particular by delaying the restocking of poultry holdings, which are at a particularly high risk for infection. It is also appropriate to restrict the movements of poultry from and within those protection and surveillance zones, except where certain animal health conditions are fulfilled. |

| (15) | Given the current epidemiological situation as regards highly pathogenic avian influenza, as well as the control measures provided for by Directive 2005/94/EC, Hungary should apply the strict protection measures in order to limit the risk of spread of that disease in the high risk areas of Bács-Kiskun and Csongrád counties. Therefore, Hungary should ensure that consignments of poultry and day-old chicks are not dispatched from those high risk areas referred to in Annex II, to other parts of Hungary, or to other Member States or to third countries. |

| (16) | The movement of poultry for immediate slaughter poses a smaller risk for the spread of disease than other types of movements of poultry, provided that risk mitigation measures are in place. It is therefore appropriate that when, due to logistic and animal welfare considerations, the slaughtering of poultry in the high risk areas referred to in Annex II is not possible, in particular due to the absence of an appropriate slaughterhouse or limitations in slaughtering capacity within the relevant high risk areas, the Member States concerned may exceptionally grant derogations for the dispatch of poultry from a high risk area referred to in Annex II for immediate slaughter, to a designated slaughterhouse located outside that high risk area in the same Member State. Those movements should be authorised provided that rigorous risk mitigation measures are applied in order not to jeopardise disease control. |

| (17) | The restocking of poultry holdings in the high risk areas for Hungary referred to in Annex II, should be delayed for a sufficient period of time to ensure that the highly pathogenic avian influenza virus is eradicated in those high risk areas, and at least until the absence of the circulation of the virus is confirmed by the results of a suitable surveillance plan put in place by the competent authority of that Member State. Therefore, the movement of day-old chicks to holdings in those high risk areas should not be permitted. In addition, the restocking of poultry holdings located in those high risk areas should only be permitted following a favourable result of a risk assessment carried out by the competent authority of Hungary and if the poultry holdings to be restocked have put in place appropriate risk mitigation and reinforced biosecurity measures to prevent the introduction and the spread of the virus. |

| (18) | In addition, in order to allow the competent authority of Hungary sufficient time to implement the surveillance necessary to confirm that the highly pathogenic avian influenza virus is not circulating in the protection and surveillance zones established for the outbreaks in Bács-Kiskun and Csongrád counties, referred to in Annex II, and taking into account the time necessary to do the necessary checks in all the poultry holdings in those zones before restocking is to be permitted, the duration of the protection measures applied in those zones should be prolonged. Therefore, the duration for which the protection measures have to be applied in the protection and surveillance zones listed in Parts A and B of Annex I for Hungary should be extended. |

Therefore, the duration for which the protection measures have to be applied in the protection and surveillance zones listed in Parts A and B of Annex I for Hungary should be extended.

| (19) | The official name of Csongrád county of Hungary changed on 4 June 2020 to Csongrád-Csanád. Therefore, the references to Csongrád county in the current Annex to Implementing Decision (EU) 2020/47 should be replaced by the new name of that county in new Annexes I and II to that act. |
