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.

(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 food incidents notified through the Rapid Alert System for Food and Feed, the findings of                              missions 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, for consignments of betel leaves originating from India and Thailand, enzymes originating from India, groundnuts                              and derived products originating from Sudan and vine leaves originating from Turkey the relevant sources of information indicate                              the emergence of new risks warranting the introduction of an increased level of official controls. Entries concerning those                              consignments should therefore be included in the list.

(5)In addition, 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 dried noodles                              from China should therefore be deleted.

(6)The Commission was also advised by the Member States of the need to specify that the entries for imports of herbs from Morocco,                              Thailand and Viet Nam, okra from Viet Nam and peppers from Thailand and Viet Nam also cover chilled commodities. In the interests                              of clarity of Union legislation, it is also necessary to make a precision in the list regarding the entries for imports of                              oranges and strawberries from Egypt and peas and beans from Kenya.

(7)Moreover, modifications are needed in Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 669/2009, in particular in order to reflect the provisions                              on onward transportation set out in Article 8 of that Regulation in the common entry document. Further technical modifications                              are also needed to the Notes for Guidance for the common entry document.

(8)In order to ensure consistency and clarity, it is appropriate to replace Annexes I and II to Regulation (EC) No 669/2009.

(9)Regulation (EC) No 669/2009 should therefore be amended accordingly.

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