Having regard to Council Directive 97/78/EC of 18 December
1997 laying down the principles governing the organisation of
veterinary checks on products entering the Community from
third countries (1), and in particular Article 3(5), Article 16(3)
and (4) and Article 17(7) thereof,

Having regard to Council Directive 2002/99/EC of 16 December

animal origin for human consumption (2), and in particular the
third indent of Article 8(5) thereof,

Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 882/2004 of the European
Parliament and of the Council of 29 April 2004 on official

Annex II to Decision 2007/275/EC lists the composite
products which are exempted from veterinary controls.
Those products should therefore also be exempted from
the systematic veterinary controls when they form part of
travellers'
luggage and are intended for their personal
consumption or when they are sent as small consign-
ments to private persons.

The requirements and in particular the weight limits for
the introduction of consignments of products of animal
origin for personal consumption are therefore laid down
in several legislative texts. Those requirements, however,
need to be easily understood by enforcement authorities,
travellers and the general public. It is therefore appro-
priate to simplify and to bring together in one Regu-
lation, the types and quantities of products of animal
origin for which an exemption from the veterinary
checks
imports may be
granted.

laid down for commercial

The possible risk of introducing animal diseases into the
Community through the introduction of products of
animal origin should always be considered when laying
down measures regulating such introductions. The level
of animal health risk varies according to different factors,
such as the type of product, the animal species from
which the products are obtained, and the likelihood of
the pathogenic agent being present.

One of the most dangerous diseases that could be poten-
tially introduced into the Community is foot and mouth
disease (FMD). The European Food Safety Authority
(EFSA) has evaluated the risk of introduction of FMD into
the Community. That evaluation clearly shows that the
introduction of meat and meat products and of milk and
milk products are potential ways for the FMD virus to
enter into the Community.

In order to avoid the introduction of such diseases, the
Community has put in place, for many years, a complete
set of rules regulating the imports of live animals and
products of animal origin for commercial purposes.

Commission Regulation (EC) No 745/2004 (6) lays down
measures with regard to imports of meat and meat
products and of milk and milk products for personal
consumption. Pursuant to that Regulation meat and meat
products and milk and milk products cannot be intro-
duced into the Community by travellers unless such
products fully comply with the Community's commercial
import rules.

That principle should be maintained in the future in
its
order

the Community maintains

and milk and milk products carried by passengers that
should be exempted from the systematic veterinary
checks at borders provided for by Directive 97/78/EC
should thus be fixed at zero.

The measures provided for in this Regulation should be
without prejudice to Community veterinary legislation
having as objective the control and eradication of animal
diseases, or concerning certain protection measures.

The measures provided for in this Regulation should be
without prejudice to legislation implementing Council
Regulation (EC) No 338/97 on the protection of species
of wild fauna and flora by regulating trade therein (7).

It is also appropriate to ensure that information about
the veterinary controls and the rules applicable to the
introduction of products of animal origin be provided to
travellers and the general public.

Certain third countries, because of
their geographical
proximity and animal health status, are considered to
present a minimal animal health risk to the Community.
Limited quantities of meat and meat products and milk
and milk products from such countries should therefore
continue to be exempted from systematic veterinary
checks.

In addition, certain neighbouring third countries have
specific veterinary agreements with the Community with
respect to relevant aspects of the Community veterinary
legislation.

Personal consignments of products of animal origin in
quantities below a certain threshold from those third
countries should therefore remain outside the scope of
the systematic veterinary checks provided for by Directive
97/78/EC. To ensure
information is
that
conveyed to passengers, such third countries should be
indicated as exempted countries on all relevant publicity
material.

accurate

In general, the animal health status of Croatia may be
considered to present a minimal animal health risk to the
Community. Products of animal origin in quantities
below a certain threshold which are part of passengers'
luggage or sent as small consignments to consumers
from Croatia should remain outside the scope of the
veterinary checks provided by Directive
systematic
97/78/EC. To ensure
information is
accurate
that
conveyed to passengers, Croatia should be indicated as an
exempted country on all relevant publicity material laid
down by this Regulation.

(20) Due to the current classical swine fever situation in
Croatia, however, pig meat and pig meat products could
pose a possible animal health risk to the EU. To address
issue, Croatia has agreed to take appropriate
this
measures to ensure that such products destined for the
Community and carried by travellers or sent by post to
private individuals do not leave their territory.

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1

Subject matter

In addition, it should be clarified that provisions which
apply to certain products of animal origin intended for
human consumption should also apply to products of
animal origin destined for the feeding of pets, in order to
prevent travellers or consumers from circumventing the
rules laid down in this Regulation.

1.
This Regulation lays down rules concerning the introduc-
tion into the Community of personal consignments of products
of animal origin of a non commercial character which form
part of travellers' luggage, or are sent as small consignments to
private persons, or are ordered remotely (for example, by mail,
by telephone or via the Internet) and delivered to the consumer.

There should continue to be a clear disincentive to
prevent the introduction of consignments of products of
animal origin of a non-commercial character that are not
in conformity with the Community health requirements
from entering the Community without undergoing the
required veterinary clearance. Member States
should
therefore continue to impose such costs and penalties as
necessary, including the costs of disposal of the products,
on persons held liable for a breach of the rules on the
introduction into the Community of products of animal
origin.

(23) Member States should continue to supply appropriate
information to the Commission on the mechanisms they
have put in place for the enforcement of the rules set out
in this Regulation. In addition, the information supplied
could then be used to review the rules set out in this
Regulation.

(24)

To ensure that
the requirements
information about
concerning the introduction into the Community of
products of animal origin is effectively conveyed to
travellers and to the general public, Member States and
international passenger transport operators should bring
those requirements to the attention of the general public
and passengers carried into the Community.

(25)

In view of the difficulties in collating the information
concerning postal depots, more time should be given to
the Member States to submit this information.

(26)

In the interest of consistency and clarity of Community
legislation, it is appropriate to amend Article 8 of Regu-
lation (EC) No 136/2004 and to repeal Regulation (EC)
No 745/2004.

(27)

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

In addition,

This Regulation shall not apply to personal consignments

passengers, such third countries shall be indicated as exempted

3.
This Regulation shall apply without prejudice to Com-
munity veterinary legislation having as objective the control and
eradication of animal diseases, or concerning certain protection
measures.

4.
This Regulation shall apply without prejudice to the rele-
vant rules on certification contained within legislation imple-
menting Regulation (EC) No 338/97 on the protection of
species of wild fauna and flora by regulating trade therein.

Information referred to in Articles 3 and 4

Part 1 — Leaflet

Keep infectious animal diseases out of the
EU!

Animal products may carry pathogens
causing infectious disease

Due to the risk of introducing diseases into the European Union (EU), there are strict procedures for the introduction of
certain animal products into the EU. These procedures do not apply to the movements of animal products between the
27 Member States of the EU, or for animal products coming from Andorra, Liechtenstein, Norway, San Marino, and
Switzerland.

All animal products not conforming to these rules must be surrendered on arrival in the EU for official disposal. Failure
to declare such items may result in a fine or criminal prosecution.

1. Small quantities of meat and dairy products

You may not bring in or send to the EU any meat and dairy products for personal human consumption or the feeding
of pets, with the exception of the following:

— products coming from Croatia, the Faeroe Islands, Greenland, Iceland, Liechtenstein, or Switzerland provided that

their weight does not exceed 10 kilograms per person,

— powdered infant milk, infant food, and special foods or special pet feed required for medical reasons provided that

their combined quantity does not exceed the weight limit of 2 kilograms per person or pet, and that:

— the product does not require refrigeration before consumption,

— it is a packaged proprietary brand product, and

— the packaging is unbroken unless in current use.

2. Small quantities of fish products for personal human consumption

You may only bring in or send to the EU personal consignments of fish products (fresh, dried, cooked, cured or
smoked fish) provided that:

— fresh fish are eviscerated,

— the weight of the fish products does not exceed, per person, 20 kilograms or the weight of one fish, whichever

weight is the highest.

These restrictions do not apply to fish products coming from the Faeroe Islands or Iceland.

3. Small quantities of other animal products for personal human consumption

You may only bring in or send to the EU other animal products, such as honey for example, provided that their weight
does not exceed 2 kilograms per person.

4. Larger quantities of animal products

You may only bring in or send to the EU larger quantities of animal products if they meet the requirements for
commercial consignments, which include:

— certification requirements, as laid down in the appropriate official EC veterinary certificate;

— the presentation of the goods, with the correct documentation, to an authorised EU border inspection post for

veterinary control, on arrival in the EU.

The following products are exempted from the rules explained previously:

— Bread, cakes, biscuits, chocolate and confectionery (including sweets) not mixed or filled with meat product;

— Food supplements packaged for the final consumer;

— Meat extracts and meat concentrates;

— Olives stuffed with fish;

— Pasta and noodles not mixed or filled with meat product;

— Pizzas without meat;

— Soup stocks and flavourings packaged for the final consumer.

— Any other food product, not containing any meat and less than 50 % of any other type of processed animal

product, such as dairy, egg or fishery products.

6. Animal products from protected species

For certain protected species there may be additional restrictions in place. For example for caviar of sturgeon species,
the weight limit is a maximum of 125 grams per person.
