         amending Annexes III, VIII, IX and XI to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2021/405 as regards the lists of third countries or regions thereof authorised for the entry into the Union of certain wild game birds intended for human consumption, of consignments of certain bivalve molluscs, echinoderms, tunicates and marine gastropods, of certain fishery products, and of frogs’ legs and snails, and repealing Decision 2007/82/EC
         (Text with EEA relevance)
         THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
         Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
         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) thereof,
         Having regard to Regulation (EU) 2017/625 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 15 March 2017 on official controls and other official activities performed to ensure the application of food and feed law, rules on animal health and welfare, plant health and plant protection products, amending Regulations (EC) No 999/2001, (EC) No 396/2005, (EC) No 1069/2009, (EC) No 1107/2009, (EU) No 1151/2012, (EU) No 652/2014, (EU) 2016/429 and (EU) 2016/2031 of the European Parliament and of the Council, Council Regulations (EC) No 1/2005 and (EC) No 1099/2009 and Council Directives 98/58/EC, 1999/74/EC, 2007/43/EC, 2008/119/EC and 2008/120/EC, and repealing Regulations (EC) No 854/2004 and (EC) No 882/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council, Council Directives 89/608/EEC, 89/662/EEC, 90/425/EEC, 91/496/EEC, 96/23/EC, 96/93/EC and 97/78/EC and Council Decision 92/438/EEC (Official Controls Regulation) (2), and in particular Article 127(2) and (4),
         Whereas:
         
                     (1)
                  
                  
                     Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2019/625 (3) sets out the requirements for the entry into the Union of consignments of certain animals and goods intended for human consumption from third countries or regions thereof, in order to ensure that they comply with the applicable requirements established in the rules on food safety referred to in Article 1(2)(a) of Regulation (EU) 2017/625 or with requirements recognised to be at least equivalent. In particular, entry into the Union of those goods and animals is subject to the requirement that they come from a third country or region thereof which is included in a list in accordance with Article 126(2)(a) of Regulation (EU) 2017/625.
                  
               
                     (2)
                  
                  
                     Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2021/405 (4) lays down the lists of third countries and regions thereof authorised for the entry into the Union of certain animals and goods intended for human consumption in accordance with Article 126(2)(a) of Regulation (EU) 2017/625.
                  
               
                     (3)
                  
                  
                     In order to be listed, a third country or region thereof is to comply with the requirements laid down in Article 127 of Regulation (EU) 2017/625 and with those laid down in Article 4 of Delegated Regulation (EU) 2019/625.
                  
               
                     (4)
                  
                  
                     Article 4, point (f), of Delegated Regulation (EU) 2019/625 provides that the existence, implementation and communication of a residues control programme approved by the Commission, when applicable, is a prerequisite for the inclusion of third countries or regions thereof in the list referred to in Article 126(2)(a) of Regulation (EU) 2017/625. Commission Decision 2011/163/EU (5) approved the residue monitoring plans submitted by certain third countries concerning specific animals and animal products listed in the Annex to that Decision.
                  
               
                     (5)
                  
                  
                     Commission Implementing Decision (EU) 2021/2315 (6) removed the approval of the residue monitoring plan of Tunisia for wild game. Tunisia should therefore be removed from the list of third countries authorised for the entry into the Union of certain wild game birds intended for human consumption, set out in Annex III to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2021/405. Tunisia has been informed accordingly.
                  
               
                     (6)
                  
                  
                     Implementing Decision (EU) 2021/2315 approved the monitoring plan of Ukraine for marine gastropods within the subcategory ‘molluscs’. Since Ukraine has provided appropriate evidence and guarantees that it fulfils the requirements of Union legislation for the entry into the Union of consignments of marine gastropods from aquaculture, that third country should be added in the list of third countries or regions thereof authorised for the entry into the Union of consignments of certain bivalve molluscs, echinoderms, tunicates and marine gastropods, set out in Annex VIII to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2021/405. Ukraine has been informed accordingly.
                  
               
                     (7)
                  
                  
                     Implementing Decision (EU) 2021/2315 divided the category ‘aquaculture products’ in the Annex to Decision 2011/163/EU into the four sub-categories ‘finfish’, ‘products of finfish’, e.g. caviar, ‘crustaceans’ and ‘molluscs’. For reasons of consistency and clarity, it is appropriate to amend Annex IX to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2021/405, in order to specify the subcategories of aquaculture products for which the third countries are authorised, where relevant.
                  
               
                     (8)
                  
                  
                     Implementing Decision (EU) 2021/2315 approved the residue monitoring plans for aquaculture products of Albania, Argentina, Belarus, Bosnia Herzegovina, Chile, Falkland Islands, Faroes, Isle of Man, Israel, Japan, Kenya, Mauritius, Moldova, Montenegro, New Zealand, North Macedonia, Serbia, Singapore, Switzerland, Tunisia, Turkey, Uganda, Ukraine, United Kingdom and Uruguay, where applicable among other things, with respect to the subcategory ‘finfish’. It is therefore appropriate to amend Annex IX to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2021/405 in order to reflect that approval. Those third countries have been informed accordingly.
                  
               
                     (9)
                  
                  
                     Implementing Decision (EU) 2021/2315 approved the residue monitoring plans for aquaculture products of Bangladesh, Brazil, Canada, China, Colombia, Costa Rica, Ecuador, Honduras, India, Indonesia, Malaysia, Mexico, Morocco, Myanmar/Burma, Panama, Peru, Philippines, Saudi Arabia, South Korea, Sri Lanka, Taiwan, Thailand, United States and Vietnam, where applicable among other things, with respect to the subcategories ‘finfish’ and ‘crustaceans’. It is therefore appropriate to amend Annex IX to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2021/405 in order to reflect that approval. Those third countries have been informed accordingly.
                  
               
                     (10)
                  
                  
                     Implementing Decision (EU) 2021/2315 approved the residue monitoring plans for aquaculture products of Belize, Brunei, Cuba, Guatemala, Mozambique, New Caledonia, Nicaragua, Nigeria, Tanzania and Venezuela with respect to the subcategory ‘crustaceans’. It is therefore appropriate to amend Annex IX to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2021/405 in order to reflect that approval. Those third countries have been informed accordingly.
                  
               
                     (11)
                  
                  
                     Implementing Decision (EU) 2021/2315 approved the residue monitoring plan for aquaculture products of Iran with respect to the subcategories ‘products of finfish (caviar)’ and ‘crustaceans’. Since Iran has now provided sufficient evidence and guarantees that it fulfils the requirements of Union legislation for the entry into the Union of consignments of products of finfish (caviar) and crustaceans from aquaculture, it is appropriate to amend its entry in the list of third countries or regions thereof authorised for the entry into the Union of consignments of certain fishery products, set out in Annex IX to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2021/405. Iran has been informed accordingly.
                  
               
                     (12)
                  
                  
                     Implementing Decision (EU) 2021/2315 withdrew the approval of the residue monitoring plan of Oman for finfish. Oman should therefore be removed from the list of third countries or regions thereof authorised for the entry into the Union of consignments of certain fishery products, set out in Annex IX to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2021/405. Oman has been informed accordingly.
                  
               
                     (13)
                  
                  
                     Annex XI to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2021/405 establishes the list of third countries or regions thereof authorised for the entry into the Union of consignments of frogs’ legs and of snails. Georgia and Russia should be added to that list for snails since they provided appropriate evidence and guarantees that they fulfil the requirements of Union legislation for the entry into the Union of consignments of those goods.
                  
               
                     (14)
                  
                  
                     Commission Decision 2007/82/EC (7) requires Member States to prohibit the import from Guinea of all fishery products intended for human consumption. The Commission carried out an audit in Guinea in 2019, in order to evaluate the control systems in place governing fishery products intended for human consumption and export to the Union. On 7 May 2021, the Commission informed Guinea that the information provided was satisfactory and that the 2019 audit had been closed successfully. Decision 2007/82/EC should therefore be repealed. In the light of the outcome of the audit, it is appropriate to continue listing Guinea in Annex IX to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2021/405 as a third country authorised for the entry into the Union of consignments of wild caught fish that has not undergone any preparation or processing operation other than heading, gutting, chilling or freezing.
                  
               
                     (15)
                  
                  
                     Annexes III, VIII, IX and XI to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2021/405 should therefore be amended accordingly.
                  
               
                     (16)
                  
                  
                     For reasons of consistency with Decision 2011/163/EU and in the interest of legal certainty, this Regulation should enter into force as a matter of urgency.
                  
               
                     (17)
