COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 669/2009

of 24 July 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 and amending Decision 2006/504/EC

(Text with EEA relevance)

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,

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) and Article 63(1) thereof,

Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 178/2002 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 28 January 2002 laying down the general principles and requirements of food law, establishing the European Food Safety Authority and laying down procedures in matters of food safety (2), and in particular Article 53(1),

Whereas:

| (1) | Regulation (EC) No 882/2004 establishes a harmonised framework of general rules for the organisation of official controls at Community level, including official controls on the introduction of food and feed from third countries. In addition, it provides for a list to be drawn up of feed and food of non-animal origin that is on the basis of a known or emerging risk to be subject to an increased level of official controls at the point of entry into the territories referred to in Annex I thereto (the list). Such an increased level of control should allow, on the one hand, the known or emerging risk to be countered more effectively, and, on the other hand, the collection of accurate monitoring data on the occurrence and prevalence of unfavourable results from laboratory analysis. |

(1)

Regulation (EC) No 882/2004 establishes a harmonised framework of general rules for the organisation of official controls at Community level, including official controls on the introduction of food and feed from third countries. In addition, it provides for a list to be drawn up of feed and food of non-animal origin that is on the basis of a known or emerging risk to be subject to an increased level of official controls at the point of entry into the territories referred to in Annex I thereto (the list). Such an increased level of control should allow, on the one hand, the known or emerging risk to be countered more effectively, and, on the other hand, the collection of accurate monitoring data on the occurrence and prevalence of unfavourable results from laboratory analysis.

| (2) | In order to draw up the list, certain criteria, which would allow the identification of a known or emerging risk linked to a specific feed or food of non-animal origin, should be taken into account. |
| --- | --- |

(2)

In order to draw up the list, certain criteria, which would allow the identification of a known or emerging risk linked to a specific feed or food of non-animal origin, should be taken into account.

| (3) | Pending the adoption of a standardised methodology and criteria for the setting up of the list, data resulting from notifications received through the rapid alert system for food and feed (RASFF), as established by Regulation (EC) No 178/2002, reports by the Food and Veterinary Office, reports received from third countries, exchanges of information between the Commission, Member States, and the European Food Safety Authority and scientific assessments, should be considered for the purposes of drawing up and updating the list. |

Pending the adoption of a standardised methodology and criteria for the setting up of the list, data resulting from notifications received through the rapid alert system for food and feed (RASFF), as established by Regulation (EC) No 178/2002, reports by the Food and Veterinary Office, reports received from third countries, exchanges of information between the Commission, Member States, and the European Food Safety Authority and scientific assessments, should be considered for the purposes of drawing up and updating the list.

| (4) | Regulation (EC) No 882/2004 provides that Member States are, for the organisation of the increased level of controls, to designate particular points of entry which have access to the appropriate control facilities for the different types of feed and food. Accordingly, it is appropriate to set out in the present Regulation minimum requirements for designated points of entry in order to ensure a degree of uniformity in the effectiveness of the controls. |

| (5) | Regulation (EC) No 882/2004 provides that Member States are, for the organisation of the increased level of controls, to require feed and food business operators, responsible for consignments, to give prior notification of the arrival and nature of such consignments. Accordingly, a model form of common entry document (CED) should be laid down for imports of feed and food of non-animal origin covered by this Regulation, in order to ensure a uniform approach throughout the Community. The CED should be made available to the customs authorities when consignments are declared for the release for free circulation. |

In addition, in order to ensure a certain level of uniformity at Community level with regard to the increased level of official controls, it is appropriate to lay down in this Regulation that those controls should cover documentary, identity and physical checks.

| (7) | Adequate financial resources should be made available for organising the increased levels of official controls. Therefore, the Member States should collect the fees necessary to cover the costs occasioned by those controls. The calculation of those fees should be in accordance with the criteria laid down in Annex VI to Regulation (EC) No 882/2004. |

| (8) | Commission Decision 2005/402/EC of 23 May 2005 on emergency measures regarding chilli, chilli products, curcuma and palm oil (3) provides that all consignments of such products are to be accompanied by an analytical report demonstrating that the product does not contain any of the following substances: Sudan I (CAS number 842-07-9), Sudan II (CAS number 3118-97-6), Sudan III (CAS number 85-86-9) or Sudan IV (85-83-6). Since the adoption of those measures, the frequency of the notifications to the RASFF has decreased, which indicates a significant improvement in the situation as regards the presence of Sudan dyes in relevant products. It is therefore appropriate to discontinue the requirement to provide the analytical report for each consignment of imported products laid down in Decision 2005/402/EC and to establish instead a uniform, increased level of controls on those consignments at the point of entry into the Community. Decision 2005/402/EC should therefore be repealed. |

| (9) | Commission Decision 2006/504/EC of 12 July 2006 on special conditions governing certain foodstuffs imported from certain third countries due to contamination risks of these products by aflatoxins (4), provides for an increased frequency of controls (50 % of all consignments) to be carried for the presence of aflatoxins in peanuts originating from Brazil. Since the adoption of those measures, the frequency of the notifications to the RASFF in relation to aflatoxins in peanuts from Brazil has decreased. It is therefore appropriate to discontinue the measures provided for in Decision 2006/504 as regards such commodities, which should instead be subject to a uniform, increased level of controls at the point of entry into the Community. Decision 2006/504/EC should be amended accordingly. |

| (10) | The application of the minimum requirements for designated points of entry may present practical difficulties for the Member States. Therefore, this Regulation should provide for a transitional period during which those requirements may be progressively implemented. Accordingly, the competent authorities in the Member States should be allowed, during that transitional period, to carry out the required identity and physical checks at control points other than the designated point of entry. In those cases, such control points should comply with the minimum requirements for designated points of entry set out in this Regulation. |
