Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 58/2003 of 19 December 2002 laying down the statute for executive agencies to be entrusted with certain tasks in the management of Community programmes (3) and in particular Article 12(3) thereof,

Having regard to Council Directive 2000/29/EC (4) on protective measures against the introduction into the Community of organisms harmful to plants or plant products and against their spread within the Community and in particular Article 2 (1)(i) thereof,

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 (5), and in particular Article 66(1)(b) and (c) thereof,

Whereas:

| (1) | Regulation (EC) No 882/2004 lays down general rules for the performance of official controls to verify compliance with rules aiming, in particular, at preventing, eliminating or reducing to acceptable levels risks to humans and animals and guaranteeing fair practices in feed and food trade and protecting consumer interests.
