COMMISSION DECISION

of 12 July 2006

on special conditions governing certain foodstuffs imported from certain third countries due to contamination risks of these products by aflatoxins

(notified under document number C(2006) 3113)

(Text with EEA relevance)

(2006/504/EC)







THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES, Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, 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 ( 1 ), and in particular Article 53(1)(b)(ii) thereof, Whereas: (1) The Scientific Committee for Food has noted that aflatoxin B1 is a potent genotoxic carcinogen and, even at extremely low levels, contributes to the risk of liver cancer. (2) Commission Regulation (EC) No 466/2001 of 8 March 2001 setting maximum levels for certain contaminants in foodstuffs ( 2 ) lays down maximum levels for certain contaminants and in particular aflatoxins that are permitted in foodstuffs. Those limits for aflatoxins have been regularly exceeded in certain foodstuffs from certain third countries. (3) Such contamination constitutes a serious threat to public health within the Community and it is therefore appropriate to adopt special conditions at Community level. (4) Commission Decision 2000/49/EC of 6 December 1999 repealing Decision 1999/356/EC and imposing special conditions on the import of peanuts and certain products derived from peanuts originating in or consigned from Egypt ( 3 ) lays down special conditions on the import of peanuts and certain products derived from peanuts originating in or consigned from Egypt. (5) Commission Decision 2002/79/EC of 4 February 2002 imposing special conditions on the import of peanuts and certain products derived from peanuts originating in or consigned from China ( 4 ) lays down special conditions on the import of peanuts and certain products derived from peanuts originating in or consigned from China. (6) Commission Decision 2002/80/EC of 4 February 2002 imposing special conditions on the import of figs, hazelnuts and pistachios and certain products derived thereof originating in or consigned from Turkey ( 5 ), lays down special conditions on the import of figs, hazelnuts and pistachios and certain products derived thereof originating in or consigned from Turkey. (7) Commission Decision 2003/493/EC of 4 July 2003 imposing special conditions on the import of Brazil nuts in shell originating in or consigned from Brazil ( 6 ) lays down special conditions on the import of Brazil nuts in shell originating in or consigned from Brazil. (8) Commission Decision 2005/85/EC of 26 January 2005 imposing special conditions on the import of pistachios and certain products derived from pistachios originating in or consigned from Iran ( 7 ), lays down special conditions on the import of pistachios and certain products derived from pistachios originating in or consigned from Iran (9) Many of the special conditions for imports of the foodstuffs covered by Decisions 2000/49/EC, 2002/79/EC, 2002/80/EC, 2003/493/EC and 2005/85/EC from Brazil, China, Egypt, Iran and Turkey are the same. Accordingly, in the interest of clarity of Community legislation, it is appropriate to set out the special conditions for the import of those foodstuffs from those third countries due to contamination of those products by aflatoxins in a single Decision. (10) 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 ( 8 ) establishes at Community level a harmonised framework of general rules for the organisation of official controls. (11) For some foodstuffs from certain third countries, specific additional measures are necessary. (12) The measures provided for in this Decision, in particular as regards foodstuffs from Iran and Brazil, have a significant impact on the control resources of the Member States. It is therefore appropriate to require that all costs resulting from sampling, analysis, storage and all costs resulting from official measures taken as regards non-compliant consignments related to the official controls of foodstuffs from Iran and Brazil pursuant to this Decision are to be borne by the importers or food business operators concerned. (13) From the findings of the Commission's Food and Veterinary Office (FVO) mission, it may be concluded that Brazil cannot currently ensure reliable analytical results or guarantee lot integrity in respect of certification of consignments of unshelled Brazil nuts. Furthermore, it may also be concluded that current official controls on returned lots are inadequate. It is therefore appropriate to restrict the analyses to the official laboratory which can provide guarantees as regards the analytical results and to impose strict conditions regarding the return of non-conforming lots. In the event that those strict conditions are not complied with, subsequent non-conforming lots should be destroyed. (14) In the interests of public health, Member States should keep the Commission informed through quarterly reports of all results of official controls carried out in respect of consignments of foodstuffs covered by this Decision. Such reports shall be in addition to the notification obligations under the rapid alert system for food and feed established by Regulation (EC) No 178/2002. (15) It is important to ensure that the sampling and analysis of consignments of foodstuffs covered by this Decision are performed in a harmonised manner throughout the Community. Accordingly the sampling and analysis to be performed under this Decision should be carried out in accordance with the provisions of Commission Regulation (EC) No 401/2006 of 23 February 2006 laying down the methods of sampling and analysis for the official control of the levels of mycotoxins in foodstuffs ( 9 ). (16) The operation of this Decision should be kept under review on the basis of the guarantees provided by the competent authorities of the third countries concerned and of the results of the official controls carried out by Member States in order to assess whether the special conditions provide a sufficient level of protection of public health within the Community and whether they are still needed. (17) Decisions 2000/49/EC, 2002/79/EC, 2002/80/EC, 2003/493/EC and 2005/85/EC should accordingly be repealed. (18) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health, Whereas: HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:
