THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,

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), and in particular Article 127(2) thereof,

Whereas:

(1) Regulation (EU) 2017/625 lays down rules for official controls and other control activities performed by the competent authorities of the Member States in order to verify compliance with Union legislation in the area of, among others, food safety at all stages of the production, processing and distribution process. In particular, it provides that consignments of certain animals and goods are only to enter the Union from a third country or region thereof which appears on a list drawn up by the Commission for that purpose.

(2) Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2019/625 supplements Regulation (EU) 2017/625 as regards the conditions 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 relevant requirements established in the rules referred to in Article 1(2)(a) of Regulation (EU) 2017/625 (food safety) or with requirements recognised to be at least equivalent. In particular, it identifies the animals and goods intended for human consumption that are subject to the requirement to come from a third country or region thereof listed in accordance with Article 126(2)(a) of Regulation (EU) 2017/625.

(3) Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/626 lays down the lists of third countries or regions thereof authorised for the entry into the Union of the animals and the goods identified in Article 3 of Delegated Regulation (EU) 2019/625.

(4) In accordance with Article 127 of Regulation (EU) 2017/625, these lists include only third countries or regions thereof, which have submitted appropriate evidence and guarantees that the animals and goods concerned comply with the requirements of Union legislation in the area of food safety.

(5) Regulation (EC) No 853/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council provides that food business operators importing products of animal origin from third countries or regions thereof are to ensure that the third country of dispatch appears on a list of third countries from which imports of such products are permitted.

(6) In addition to complying with Union legislation in the area of food and food safety, animals and goods from third countries entering the Union are to comply with Union legislation in the area of animal health. To this end, Regulation (EU) 2016/429 of the European Parliament and of the Council provides that Member States are to permit the entry into the Union of certain consignments of animals, germinal products and products of animal origin from third countries or territories only if those goods come from a third country or territory listed for that purpose.

(7) Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2021/404 lays down the lists of third countries or regions thereof authorised for the entry into the Union of certain animals and goods with regard to animal health requirements, in accordance with the criteria laid down in Article 230(1) of Regulation (EU) 2016/429 and with the relevant animal health requirements laid down in Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2020/692.

(8) Delegated Regulation (EU) 2020/692 repeals, with effect from 21 April 2021, a number of Commission acts laying down lists of third countries or regions thereof authorised for the entry into the Union of consignments of certain animals, germinal products and products of animal origin. Of these lists, those established with regard to food safety requirements should be laid down in the present Regulation, with effect from 21 April 2021.

(9) The third countries or regions thereof from which entry into the Union of consignments of certain animals and goods is permitted have already provided appropriate evidence and guarantees to ensure that the animals and goods authorised for the entry into the Union comply with requirements laid down in Article 4(a) to (e) of Delegated Regulation (EU) 2019/625. Therefore, a re-assessment of compliance with these requirements is not necessary.

(10) Article 4(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 lays down the list of third countries whose residues control programme have been approved by the Commission.

(11) Certain countries are currently listed in Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/626 for animals and goods, for which they are not listed in Decision 2011/163/EU, and are consequently not authorized for entry of these animals or goods into the Union. Since these countries do not fulfil the requirements of Article 4(f) of Delegated Regulation (EU) 2019/625, the countries should not be listed in the present Regulation.

(12) Considering the numerous amendments necessary, Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/626 should be repealed and replaced by the present Regulation.

(13) As Delegated Regulation (EU) 2020/692 and Implementing Regulation (EU) 2021/404 apply from 21 April 2021, this Regulation should also apply from that date.

(14) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Plants, Animals, Food and Feed,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
