      COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 1664/2006
   of 6 November 2006
   amending Regulation (EC) No 2074/2005 as regards implementing measures for certain products of animal origin intended for human consumption and repealing certain implementing measures
   (Text with EEA relevance)
   THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
   Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
   Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 853/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 29 April 2004 laying down specific hygiene rules for food of animal origin (1), and in particular Articles 9 and11 thereof,
   Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 854/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 29 April 2004 laying down specific rules for the organisation of official controls on products of animal origin intended for human consumption (2), and in particular Article 16 thereof,
   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 compliance with feed and food law, animal health and animal welfare rules (3), and in particular Article 11(4) thereof,
   Whereas:
   
               (1)
            
            
               Commission Regulation (EC) No 2074/2005 (4) lays down implementing measures for Regulations (EC) No 853/2004, (EC) No 854/2004 and (EC) No 882/2004.
            
         
               (2)
            
            
               Annex VI to Regulation (EC) No 2074/2005 lays down model health certificates for imports of certain products of animal origin intended for human consumption. These certificates have been developed to comply with the expert system Traces developed by the Commission to follow any movements of animals and products derived therefrom within the EU territory and from third countries. Particulars concerning the description of the commodities have recently been updated. The existing model health certificates should therefore be amended accordingly.
            
         
               (3)
            
            
               Regulations (EC) No 852/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council (5) and (EC) No 853/2004 lay down rules on the production of fishery products, live bivalve molluscs and honey intended for human consumption. Specific requirements, including model health certificates, should be laid down in Regulation (EC) No 2074/2005 for imports of these products from third countries. Existing Decisions setting the import certificates should consequently be repealed after a delay to give third countries the possibility to adapt their legislation.
            
         
               (4)
            
            
               It is also appropriate to simplify the certification procedure for fishery products and live bivalve molluscs and, for consignments intended for human consumption, to incorporate the animal health certification requirements set out in Commission Decision 2003/804/EC of 14 November 2003 laying down animal health conditions and certification requirements for imports of molluscs their eggs and gametes for further growth, fattening, relaying or human consumption (6), and Commission Decision 2003/858/EC of 21 November 2003 laying down animal health conditions and certification requirements for imports of live fish, their eggs and gametes intended for farming, and live fish of aquaculture origin and products thereof intended for human consumption (7).
            
         
               (5)
            
            
               In accordance with Article 11(4) of Regulation (EC) No 882/2004, methods for analysis and testing of milk and milk-based products should be established. In this context, the Community reference laboratory has compiled a list of updated reference methods, which was approved by national reference laboratories during their 2005 meeting. It is therefore necessary to provide in Regulation (EC) No 2074/2005 the last agreed list of reference methods of analysis and testing to be used to monitor compliance with the requirements laid down in Regulation (EC) No 853/2004. Commission decision 91/180/CEEof 14 February 1991 laying down certain methods of analysis and testing of raw milk and heat-treated milk (8) should consequently be repealed. A delay should be granted to give the Member States the time to comply with the new methods.
            
         
               (6)
            
            
               Regulation (EC) No 2074/2005 establishes the analytical methods for the detection of the paralytic shellfish poison (PSP) content of edible parts of molluscs (the whole body or any part edible separately). The so-called Lawrence method as published in AOAC Official Method 2005.06 (Paralytic Shellfish Poisoning Toxins in Shellfish) should be considered as an alternative method for the detection of PSP in bivalve molluscs. Its use should be reviewed in light of the analytical work currently carried out by the Community Reference Laboratory for marine biotoxins.
            
         
               (7)
            
            
               Regulation (EC) No 2074/2005 should therefore be amended accordingly.
            
         
               (8)
            
            
               The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,

                        When checking against the criteria laid down in Annex III, Section IX, Chapter I, Part III to Regulation (EC) No 853/2004, the following standards must be applied as reference methods:
                        
                                    (a)
                                 
                                 
                                    EN/ISO 4833 for the plate count at 30 oC;
                                 
                              
                                    (b)
                                 
                                 
                                    ISO 13366-1 for the somatic cell count.
                                 
                              
                  
                        2.
                     
                     
                        The use of alternative analytical methods is acceptable:
                        
                                    (a)
                                 
                                 
                                    For the plate count at 30 oC, when the methods are validated against the reference method mentioned in point 1(a) in accordance with the protocol set out in EN/ISO standard 16140 or other similar internationally accepted protocols.
                                    In particular the conversion relationship between an alternative method and the reference method mentioned in point 1(a) is established according to ISO standard 21187.
                                 
                              
                                    (b)
                                 
                                 
                                    For the somatic cell count, when the methods are validated against the reference method mentioned in point 1(b) in accordance with the protocol set out in ISO 8196 and when operated in accordance with ISO standard 13366-2 or other similar internationally accepted protocols.
                                 
                              
                  CHAPTER II
            DETERMINATION OF ALKALINE PHOSPHATASE ACTIVITY
            
                        1.
                     
                     
                        When determining alkaline phosphatase activity, ISO standard 11816-1 must be applied as reference method.
                     
                  
                        2.
                     
                     
                        The alkaline phosphatase activity is expressed as milliunits of enzyme activity per litre (mU/l). A unit of alkaline phosphatase activity is the amount of alkaline phosphatase enzyme that catalyses the transformation of 1 micromole of substrate per minute.
                     
                  
                        3.
                     
                     
                        An alkaline phosphatase test is considered to give a negative result if the measured activity in cow's milk is not higher than 350 mU/l.
                     
                  
                        4.
                     
                     
                        The use of alternative analytical methods is acceptable when the methods are validated against the reference method mentioned in point 1 in accordance with internationally accepted protocols.’
