THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
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, and in particular Article 15(5) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Commission Regulation (EC) No 669/2009 lays down rules concerning the increased level of official controls to be carried out on imports of feed and food of non-animal origin listed in Annex I thereto, at the points of entry into the territories referred to in Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 882/2004.
(2) Article 2 of Regulation (EC) No 669/2009 provides that the list in Annex I thereto is to be reviewed on a regular basis, and at least quarterly, taking into account at least the sources of information referred to in that Article.
(3) Occurrence and relevance of food incidents notified through the Rapid Alert System for Feed and Food (RASFF), findings of the missions to third countries carried out by the Food and Veterinary Office, as well as the quarterly reports which Member States have to make available as regards the official controls performed at their borders according to Article 15 of Regulation (EC) No 669/2009 indicate that there is need to review the list in Annex I to the above Regulation. In particular, Annex I thereto must be reviewed by removing those commodities for which the above information sources show an overall satisfactory degree of compliance with the relevant EU safety requirements and for which an increased level of official control is therefore no longer justified, and by adding other commodities for which the same sources show a degree of non-compliance with the relevant EU safety requirements that warrants the introduction of increased level of official controls.
(4) The amendments to Annex I of Regulation (EC) No 669/2009 provided for in this Regulation should become applicable as soon as possible so that the increased level of official controls can, on one hand, cease for those commodities which are removed from the list and, on the other hand, start for those newly added.
(5) Regulation (EC) No 669/2009 should therefore be amended accordingly.
(6) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
Annex I of Regulation (EC) No 669/2009 is replaced by the text in the Annex to this Regulation.
Article 2
This Regulation shall enter into force on 7 October 2010.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States. Done at Brussels, 6 October 2010. For the Commission The President José Manuel Barroso
