animal health and public health requirements set out in Commission Delegated Regulations (EU) 2019/625 (3) and (EU) 2020/692 (4) and Commission Implementing Regulations (EU) 2020/2235 (5) and (EU) 2021/404 (6).
For the sake of clarity, entries for those countries should be marked with an ‘O’ in the column only for the relevant animal species requested in the table of the Annex to Decision 2011/163/EU.
(5)
Third countries having presented a plan for either aquaculture products, milk or eggs, and request to manufacture composite products, should be allowed to prepare composite products destined to be exported to the Union containing such processed products, by using any of those processed products, provided that processed products for which they have not presented a plan are sourced from Member States or approved third countries.
For the sake of clarity, entries for those countries should be marked with an ‘O’ for the remaining of those categories in the table of the Annex to Decision 2011/163/EU.
(6)
The listing of third countries for molluscs is necessary due to the change in the certification requirements for farmed molluscs.
At present, there is no requirement under Directive 96/23/EC, for third countries to submit to the Commission plans for molluscs.
The only relevant residue monitoring for the production of farmed molluscs concerning contaminants is carried out pursuant to Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/627 (7), and the third countries satisfying those conditions are listed in Annex VIII to Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2021/405 (8).
Since those third countries fulfil the requirements of Articles 56 to 59 of Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/627 including on the residue monitoring, therefore for the sake of clarity, those countries should be marked with an ‘M’ in the column ‘Aquaculture’ in the table of the Annex to Decision 2011/163/EU, signifying ‘molluscs’.
(7)
Certain countries requested to export to the Union composite products containing processed products from molluscs originating either from Member States or approved third countries listed in Annex VIII to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2021/405.
Countries marked with an ‘X’ in the table of the Annex to Decision 2011/163/EU for at least one of the following commodities: bovine, ovine/caprine, equine, porcine, poultry, aquaculture, milk, eggs or game, have provided the sufficient guarantees related to their official control system in place.
Therefore, all those countries should be marked with a ‘P’ in the column ‘Aquaculture’ of that table allowing them to use processed products from molluscs originating either from Member States or approved third countries for the production and export of composite products containing processed products from molluscs.
