THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,

Having regard to Council Directive 2002/99/EC of 16 December 2002 laying down the animal health rules governing the production,                           processing, distribution and introduction of products of animal origin for human consumption(1), and in particular the introductory phrase of Article 8, the first subparagraph of point (1) and point (4) of Article 8 and                           Article 9(4) thereof,                        

Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 854/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 29 April 2004 laying down specific                           rules for the organisation of official controls on products of animal origin intended for human consumption(2), and in particular Article 11(1) thereof,                        

Whereas:

(1)Commission Regulation (EU) No 605/2010(3) lays down the public and animal health conditions and certification requirements for the introduction into the Union of consignments                              of raw milk and dairy products and the list of third countries from which the introduction into the Union of such consignments                              is authorised.

(2)Annex I to Regulation (EU) No 605/2010 sets out a list of third countries or parts thereof authorised for the introduction                              into the Union of consignments of raw milk and dairy products and indicates the type of heat treatment required for such commodities.                              Article 4 of Regulation (EU) No 605/2010 provides that Member States are to authorise the importation of consignments of dairy                              products derived from raw milk of cows, ewes, goats or buffaloes from the third countries or parts thereof at risk of foot-and-mouth                              disease, which are listed in column C of Annex I to that Regulation, provided that such dairy products have undergone, or                              been produced from raw milk which has undergone, a heat treatment as referred to in that Article.

(3)The risk arising from imports into the Union of dairy products produced from raw milk of camels of the species *Camelus dromedarius* (dromedary camels) from third countries or parts thereof at risk of foot-and-mouth disease listed in column C of Annex I                              to Regulation (EU) No 605/2010 is not greater than from imports of dairy products derived from raw milk of cows, ewes, goats                              or buffaloes, provided that such dairy products have undergone, or been produced from raw milk which has undergone, the heat                              treatments referred to in Article 4 of that Regulation. Accordingly, that Article should be amended to cover dairy products                              derived from raw milk of that species.

(4)In addition, the Emirate of Dubai of the United Arab Emirates, which is a third country not listed by the World Organisation                              for Animal Health as being free of foot-and-mouth disease, has expressed an interest in exporting to the Union dairy products                              produced from raw milk derived from dromedary camels after physical or chemical treatment in accordance with Article 4 of                              Regulation (EU) No 605/2010 and has submitted information in accordance with 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(4).

(5)The Commission inspection service audited with satisfactory results the animal and public health controls on the production                              of milk derived from dromedary camels in the Emirate of Dubai. In addition, the recommendations of the Commission inspection                              service were adequately addressed by the Emirate of Dubai.

(6)Based on that information, it can be concluded that the Emirate of Dubai can provide the necessary guarantees to ensure that                              dairy products produced in the Emirate of Dubai from raw milk of dromedary camels are in conformity with the applicable animal                              and public health requirements for imports into the Union of dairy products from third countries or parts thereof at risk                              of foot-and-mouth disease listed in column C of Annex I to Regulation (EU) No 605/2010.

(7)In order to authorise imports into the Union of dairy products produced from dromedary camel milk from certain parts of the                              territory of the United Arab Emirates, the Emirate of Dubai should be added to the list of third countries or parts thereof                              referred to in Annex I to Regulation (EU) No 605/2010, with an indication that the authorisation provided for in Column C                              of that list applies only to dairy products produced from milk of that species.

(8)The model of health certificate ‘Milk-HTC’ in Part 2 of Annex II to Regulation (EU) No 605/2010 should be amended in order                              to include a reference to dairy products produced from milk of dromedary camels.

(9)Certain dairy products covered by Regulation (EU) No 605/2010 do not fall within the commodity codes (HS codes) referred to                              in the model health certificates for dairy products. In order to allow a more precise identification of those commodities                              in the model health certificates, it is necessary to add the missing HS codes 15.17 (margarine) and 28.35 (phosphates) in                              the respective models of the health certificates ‘Milk-HTB’, ‘Milk-HTC’ and ‘Milk-T/S’ in Annex II to that Regulation.

(10)Regulation (EU) No 605/2010 should therefore be amended accordingly.

(11)The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain                              and Animal Health,
