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 verification of compliance with feed and food law, animal health and animal welfare rules (1), and in particular Article 15(5) and Article 63(1) thereof,
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 (2), and in particular Article 53(1),
Commission Decision 2005/402/EC of 23 May 2005 on emergency measures regarding chilli, chilli products, curcuma and palm oil (3) provides that all consignments of such products are to be accompanied by an analytical report demonstrating that the product does not contain any of the following substances: Sudan I (CAS number 842-07-9), Sudan II (CAS number 3118-97-6), Sudan III (CAS number 85-86-9) or Sudan IV (85-83-6). Since the adoption of those measures, the frequency of the notifications to the RASFF has decreased, which indicates a significant improvement in the situation as regards the presence of Sudan dyes in relevant products. It is therefore appropriate to discontinue the requirement to provide the analytical report for each consignment of imported products laid down in Decision 2005/402/EC and to establish instead a uniform, increased level of controls on those consignments at the point of entry into the Community. Decision 2005/402/EC should therefore be repealed.
Commission Decision 2006/504/EC of 12 July 2006 on special conditions governing certain foodstuffs imported from certain third countries due to contamination risks of these products by aflatoxins (4), provides for an increased frequency of controls (50 % of all consignments) to be carried for the presence of aflatoxins in peanuts originating from Brazil. Since the adoption of those measures, the frequency of the notifications to the RASFF in relation to aflatoxins in peanuts from Brazil has decreased. It is therefore appropriate to discontinue the measures provided for in Decision 2006/504 as regards such commodities, which should instead be subject to a uniform, increased level of controls at the point of entry into the Community. Decision 2006/504/EC should be amended accordingly.
data resulting from notifications received through the RASFF;
reports and information resulting from the activities of the Food and Veterinary Office;
reports and information received from third countries;
information exchanged between the Commission and Member States, and the European Food Safety Authority;
scientific assessments, where appropriate.
‘common entry document (CED)’ means the document to be completed by the feed and food business operator or its representative as provided for in Article 6, a model of which is set out in Annex II, and by the competent authority confirming completion of official controls;
‘designated point of entry (DPE)’ means the point of entry provided for in the first indent of Article 17(1) of Regulation (EC) No 882/2004, into one of the territories referred to in Annex I thereto; in cases of consignments arriving by sea, which are unloaded for the purposes of being loaded on another vessel for onwards transportation to a port in another Member State, the designated point of entry shall be the latter port;
‘consignment’ means a quantity of any of the feed or food of non-animal origin listed in Annex I to this Regulation of the same class or description, covered by the same document(s), conveyed by the same means of transport and coming from the same third country or part of such country.
a sufficient number of suitably qualified and experienced staff to perform the prescribed checks on consignments;
appropriate facilities for the competent authority to undertake the necessary checks;
detailed instructions regarding sampling for analysis and the sending of such samples for analysis to a laboratory designated pursuant to Article 12(1) of Regulation (EC) No 882/2004 (the designated laboratory);
facilities to store consignments (and containerised consignment) in appropriate conditions during the period of detention, where appropriate, awaiting the results of the analysis referred to in point (c), and a sufficient number of storage rooms, including cold stores, in cases where a controlled temperature is required due to the nature of the consignment;
unloading equipment and appropriate equipment for carrying out sampling for analysis;
the possibility to perform the unloading and the sampling for analysis in a sheltered place, where appropriate;
a designated laboratory which can perform the analysis referred to in point (c), situated at a place to which the samples can be transported within a short period of time.
documentary checks on all consignments within 2 working days from the time of arrival at the DPE, unless exceptional and unavoidable circumstances arise;
identity and physical checks, including laboratory analysis, at the frequencies set out in Annex I, and in such a way that it is not possible for feed and food business operators or their representatives to predict whether any particular consignment will be subjected to such checks; the results of physical checks must be available as soon as technically possible.
complete the relevant part of Part II of the common entry document; and the responsible official of the competent authority shall stamp and sign the original of that document;
make and retain a copy of the signed and stamped common entry document.
the efficiency of controls carried out at the DPE is not adversely affected;
the premises fulfil the requirements indicated in Article 4, as relevant, and are approved for that purpose by the Member State;
appropriate arrangements are in place to guarantee that the consignment remains under the continuous control of the competent authorities of the DPE as from the moment of its arrival at the DPE and cannot be tampered with in any manner throughout all checks.
the highly perishable nature of the product or the specific characteristics of the packaging are such that the performance of sampling operations at the DPE would inevitably result in a serious risk to food safety or in the product being damaged to an unacceptable extent;
appropriate cooperation arrangements are put in place by the competent authorities at the DPE and the competent authorities performing the physical checks to ensure that:
the consignment cannot be tampered with in any manner throughout all checks;
the reporting requirements laid down in Article 15 are fully met.
sufficient human resources and logistics to unload the consignment, in order that the official controls may take place;

in Article 5, paragraph 2 (a) is replaced by the following:
each consignment of foodstuffs from Brazil’,
in Article 7, paragraph 3 is deleted.
1. For a period of five years from the date of entry into force of this Regulation, where a designated point of entry is not equipped with the facilities required to carry out physical checks as provided for in Article 8(1)(b), those checks may be carried out at another point of control in the same Member State, authorised for that purpose by the competent authority, before the goods are declared for release for free circulation, provided that such control point complies with the minimum requirements laid down in Article 4.
2. Member States shall make publicly available, by electronic publication on their website, a list of the control points authorised in accordance with the first paragraph.
