2

(3)  The word “others” covers anything not explicitly mentioned under the rest of the codes within “Groups to which the MRLs apply”.

3

(4)  MRLs in Annex II and III for the product apply only for the product when used for human consumption. For parts of the product used exclusively as ingredients for animal feed, separate MRLs will be applicable.

(5)  Where the pesticide and/or metabolites (included in the residue definition) is/are water soluble (log Pow less than 3) the MRL is expressed as mg/kg of meat (including fat), preparations of meat, offal and animal fats. Where the pesticide and/or metabolite (included in the residue definition) is/are fat soluble (log Pow greater than or equal to 3) the MRL is expressed as mg/kg of fat contained in the meat, preparations of meat, offal and animal fats. In the case of foodstuffs with a fat content of 10 % or less by weight, the residue is related to the total weight of the boned foodstuff. In such cases, the maximum level is one-tenth of the value related to fat content, but must be no less than 0,01 mg/kg. The latter does not apply when the MRL is set at the LOD.

(6)  Where the pesticide and/or metabolites (included in the residue definition) is/are water soluble (log Pow less than 3) the MRL is expressed as mg/kg of milk and milk products. Where the pesticide and/or metabolite (included in the residue definition) is/are fat soluble (log Pow greater than or equal to 3) the MRL is expressed as mg/kg of cow’s milk and whole cream cow’s milk. In determining the residues in raw cow’s milk and whole cream cow’s milk, a fat content of 4 % by weight should be taken as a basis. For raw milk and whole cream milk of another animal origin the residues are expressed on the basis of the fat. For the other foodstuffs listed with a fat content of less than 2 % by weight, the maximum level is taken as half that set for raw milk and whole cream milk, with a fat content of 2 % or more by weight, the maximum level is expressed in mg/kg of fat. In such cases, the maximum level is 25 times that set for raw milk and whole cream milk. The latter does not apply when the MRL is set at the LOD.

(7)  Where the pesticide and/or metabolites (included in the residue definition) is/are water soluble (log Pow less than 3) the MRL is expressed as mg/kg of shelled fresh eggs, for bird’s eggs and egg yolks; Where the pesticide/or metabolite (included in the residue definition) is/are fat soluble (log Pow greater than or equal to 3) the MRL is also expressed as mg/kg of shelled fresh eggs, for bird’s eggs and egg yolks. However, for eggs and egg products with a fat content higher than 10 %, the maximum level is expressed in mg/kg fat. In this case, the maximum level is 10 times higher than the maximum level for fresh eggs. The latter does not apply when the MRL is set at the LOD.

| (7) | Following that inspection, India has submitted an action plan and guarantees addressing the recommendations in the inspection report. Pending the full implementation of that plan and of those guarantees, the risk remains that aquaculture products originating from India contain residues of certain pharmacologically active substances. Further measures are therefore required at Union level to minimise that risk. |

| (8) | Commission Decision 2009/727/EC of 30 September 2009 on emergency measures applicable to crustaceans imported from India and intended for human consumption or animal feed (5) already provides that consignments of crustaceans of aquaculture origin introduced from India and intended for human consumption or animal feed are to be tested for the presence of nitrofurans or their metabolites before they are imported into the Union. In addition, in aquaculture products other than crustaceans, chloramphenicol and tetracyclines are also known to be used in India. |

Therefore, it is appropriate to adopt measures similar to those laid down in that Decision in respect of all aquaculture products imported from India and intended for human consumption.

| (10) | In addition a significant proportion of the aquaculture products imported from India should undergo mandatory testing by the Member States for the detection of pharmacology active substances as defined in Regulation (EC) No 470/2009 before those products are placed on the market. The results of that mandatory testing should provide more accurate information on the actual contamination of aquaculture products originating from India with those residues. The testing should also deter producers in India from misusing those substances. |

HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:

Article 1

This Decision shall apply to the importation of consignments of aquaculture products from India intended for human consumption (‘consignments’).

Article 2

1.   Member States shall authorise the importation into the Union of consignments provided that they are accompanied by the results of an analytical test carried out at the place of origin to ensure that they do not present a danger to human health.

The analytical test must have been carried out on an official sample, in particular with a view to detecting the presence of chloramphenicol, tetracycline, oxytetracycline and chlortetracycline and of metabolites of nitrofurans.

Those samples must have been analysed using analytical methods in conformity with Articles 3 and 4 of Decision 2002/657/EC.

2.   By way of derogation from paragraph 1, Member States shall authorise the importation of consignments that are not accompanied by the results of an analytical test provided that the importing Member State ensures that each consignment undergoes such analytical tests for the detection of chloramphenicol, tetracycline, oxytetracycline, chlortetracycline and of metabolites of nitrofurans on arrival.

Article 3

1.   Member States shall, by using appropriate sampling plans, ensure that official samples are taken from at least 20 % of consignments presented for import at border inspection posts on their territory.

2.   The official samples taken pursuant to paragraph 1 shall undergo analytical tests for the detection of residues of pharmacologically active substances as defined in Article 2(a) of Regulation (EC) No 470/2009, and in particular of chloramphenicol, tetracycline, oxytetracycline, chlortetracycline and of metabolites of nitrofurans.

Article 4

The consignments from which official samples have been taken pursuant to Articles 2(2) and 3(1) shall be kept under official detention by the competent authority of the Member State concerned, until the analytical tests have been completed.

Those consignments may be placed on the market only if the results of the analytical tests confirm that they comply with Regulation (EC) No 470/2009.

Article 5

1.   Member States shall immediately inform the Commission of the results of the analytical tests if those tests reveal the presence of residues of any pharmacologically active substance:

| (a) | classified in accordance with Article 14(2)(a), (b) or (c) of Regulation (EC) No 470/2009 at a level exceeding the maximum residue limit established pursuant to that Regulation; or |
| --- | --- |

(a)

classified in accordance with Article 14(2)(a), (b) or (c) of Regulation (EC) No 470/2009 at a level exceeding the maximum residue limit established pursuant to that Regulation; or

| (b) | not classified in accordance with Article 14(2)(a), (b) or (c) of Regulation (EC) No 470/2009; however, the Member State concerned is not required to immediately inform the Commission of the results of such tests where the level of residues is lower than:






  (i) | the reference point for action established for that substance pursuant to Regulation (EC) No 470/2009; or |
| --- | --- | --- |

(b)

not classified in accordance with Article 14(2)(a), (b) or (c) of Regulation (EC) No 470/2009; however, the Member State concerned is not required to immediately inform the Commission of the results of such tests where the level of residues is lower than:

(i)

the reference point for action established for that substance pursuant to Regulation (EC) No 470/2009; or

| (ii) | the minimum required performance limit established for that substance pursuant to Decision 2002/657/EC. |
| --- | --- |

(ii)

the minimum required performance limit established for that substance pursuant to Decision 2002/657/EC.

The results of those analytical tests shall be notified to the Commission under the rapid alert system established pursuant to Article 50 of Regulation (EC) No 178/2002.

2.   Every three months Member States shall submit to the Commission a report on all the results of the analytical tests carried out on the consignments in the previous three months.

The first report shall be submitted to the Commission by 1 October 2010.

Article 6

All expenditure incurred in the application of this Decision shall be charged to the consignor, the consignee or the agent of either the consignor or the consignee.

Article 7

Decision 2009/727/EC is repealed.

Article 8

This Decision is addressed to the Member States.

Done at Brussels, 8 July 2010.
