Whereas:

(1) Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 743/2013 (2) was adopted as audits of the Commission's audit service identified deficiencies in Turkey in the implementation of official controls of the production of bivalve molluscs intended for export to the Union, and as Member States reported non-compliant consignments of bivalve molluscs originating in Turkey which were not fulfilling Union microbiological standards.

(2) The last audit of the Commission's audit service, which took place in September 2015, found significant deficiencies in the control system for bivalve molluscs intended for export to the Union still existed. The Turkish competent authorities presented information regarding the corrective measures initiated to address those deficiencies. However, some of those deficiencies, notably in the performance of laboratories, still exist.

(3) Due to the nature of the products involved, the application of Implementing Regulation (EU) No 743/2013 should therefore be extended until sufficient guarantees have been obtained, tests carried out by Member States demonstrate the compliance of consignments and a follow-up audit confirms that a lifting of the measures is possible.
