COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) 2015/1012

of 23 June 2015

amending Annex I to 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. |
| --- | --- |

(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. |
| --- | --- |

(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 recent food incidents notified through the Rapid Alert System for Food and Feed, the findings of audits 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 the available information indicates an overall satisfactory degree of compliance with the relevant safety requirements provided for in Union legislation and for which an increased level of official controls is therefore no longer justified. The entry in the list concerning beans from Kenya should therefore be deleted. |
| --- | --- |

(4)

In particular, the list should be amended by deleting the entries for commodities for which the available information indicates an overall satisfactory degree of compliance with the relevant safety requirements provided for in Union legislation and for which an increased level of official controls is therefore no longer justified. The entry in the list concerning beans from Kenya should therefore be deleted.

| (5) | In addition, the list should be amended by increasing the frequency of official controls for the commodities for which the same sources of information show a higher degree of non-compliance with the relevant Union legislation, thereby warranting an increased level of official controls. The entries in the list concerning coriander leaves, basil, mint, parsley, chilli peppers and okra from Vietnam, and vine leaves from Turkey, should therefore be amended accordingly. |

| (14) | INAVIC have focused their effort mainly on the alignment of the legal framework with international requirements, improvement of the infrastructure (radio coverage of their territory) and reinforcement of the licencing requirements for personnel and organisations as well as oversight of the existing operators. As this last activity does not yet fully meet the required international safety standards because the certification of operators is not a sufficiently robust process, there is no room for a relaxation of the current ban on all carriers certified by INAVIC other than TAAG Angola Airlines. The Commission noted that there is an improvement in the communication and coordination between INAVIC and TAAG Angola Airlines, with meetings taking place regularly to discuss all aspects of the air carrier's operations. |

| (15) | TAAG Angola Airlines advised on the renewal and expansion of the fleet, with the withdrawal of the B737-200 and B747-300 Combi aircraft and the purchase of new B777-200, B777-300ER and B737-700 aircraft, complemented by a strong focus on quality of operations, engineering and maintenance and growth. Pilot training has been significantly improved with the help of external consultants. Safety has been further bolstered with the introduction of a non-punitive, anonymised occurrence reporting mechanism. This information, together with a comprehensive FDM (Flight Data Monitoring) analysis, is now systematically used to identify and prevent the re-occurrence of past incidents or anomalies and is fed back into the pilot training programme. |

| (75) | In view of the seriousness of the findings which were raised on the occasion of the EU assessment visit to Madagascar in February 2014, the Commission considers that the conditions allowing such inclusion, in essence, do not differ from the conditions that need to be met to remove the air carrier Air Madagascar from Annex B to Regulation (EC) No 474/2006. The review of the information provided by ACM and the air carrier Air Madagascar, after the meeting of 28 April 2014, aiming at supporting the inclusion of the aircraft of type Airbus A340-300 with registration mark 5R-EAA in the Annex B to Regulation (EC) No 474/2006 does not show that these conditions are met. |

Air carriers from the Islamic Republic of Mauritania

| (77) | On 24 February 2015, a technical meeting was held in Brussels between the Commission, EASA, several Member States and the civil aviation authorities of Mauritania, the Agence Nationale de l'Aviation Civile, as well as the air carrier Mauritania Airlines International (‘MAI’). The Agence Nationale de l'Aviation Civile presented the safety situation in Mauritania and its State Safety Plan, highlighting its good ICAO audit results culminating in a high level of effective implementation of international safety standards. MAI explained how it responded to the recent SAFA findings and announced that it would go through the registration process for the International Air Transport Association Operation Safety Audit. MAI confirmed that, for economic reasons, it had stopped flying to certain Union destinations and that it intends to develop a regional network in cooperation with a Union air carrier. Consequently, MAI also decided to change its fleet composition in order to operate smaller aircraft on a schedule with higher flight frequencies. |

| (78) | The latest SAFA analysis provided by EASA indicated improvements in the sense that fewer findings were made during SAFA checks in the Union, although it was highlighted by some Member States that the introduction of a new type of aircraft in the fleet of MAI, the Embraer ERJ145, had not been accomplished in a satisfactory manner. From 10 to 14 March 2015, the International Air Transport Association Operational Safety pre-Audit took place in Nouakchott. The Agence Nationale de l'Aviation Civile and MAI provided the Commission with the preliminary results of this pre-audit. On that basis, it appears that there is an acceptable implementation of international safety standards and there are no elements pointing at the existence of particularly alarming safety deficiencies. |

(104)

On the basis of all available information, including the results of the Union on-site assessment visit and the information provided at the hearing before the Air Safety Committee, the Commission considers that CAAP has made sustained improvements over a continuous time period. It is also recognised that there has been no lack of willingness of CAAP to engage on an ongoing basis with the Commission and that CAAP is transparent in its recognition that it should continue enhancements to further develop its safety oversight and surveillance procedures. It is assessed that CAAP has the ability to discharge its responsibilities with respect to the oversight of air carriers certified in the Philippines. During the hearing before the Air Safety Committee, CAAP gave its commitment to fully engage in a continuing safety dialogue with the Commission, including through additional meetings, if and when deemed necessary by the Commission.

| (105) | The Commission noted that all of the three air carriers certified in the Philippines that had, by way of relevant sample, been invited to the hearing before the Air Safety Committee, presented to a satisfactory standard and are all able to provide specific details in respect to the safe conduct of their respective operations. The Commission considers that there is sufficient evidence of compliance with applicable international safety standards and recommended practices on the part of air carriers certified in the Republic of the Philippines. |
