COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) 2016/759
of 28 April 2016
drawing up lists of third countries, parts of third countries and territories from which Member States are to authorise the introduction into the Union of certain products of animal origin intended for human consumption, laying down certificate requirements, amending Regulation (EC) No 2074/2005 and repealing Decision 2003/812/EC
(Text with EEA relevance)
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Council Directive 2002/99/EC of 16 December 2002 laying down the animal health rules governing the production, processing, distribution and introduction of products of animal origin for human consumption (1) and in particular Articles 8(1) and 9(4) 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 11(1) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) |
Regulation (EC) No 854/2004 requires products of animal origin to be imported only from a third country or a part of third country that appears on a list drawn up in accordance with that Regulation. |
(2) |
Commission Decision 2003/812/EC (3) draws up lists of third countries from which Member States are to authorise imports of certain products for human consumption subject to Council Directive 92/118/EEC (4). Those lists include a list of third countries or parts of third countries from which imports of gelatine intended for human consumption are authorised. However, there is no list which covers collagen, or raw materials for the production of gelatine and collagen, for human consumption. It is appropriate to draw up such lists. |
(3) |
In accordance with Regulation (EC) No 853/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council (5), food business operators importing products of animal origin are to ensure that the documents accompanying the consignment meet the requirements of Article 14 of Regulation (EC) No 854/2004. Commission Regulation (EC) No 2074/2005 (6) lays down model certificates for imports of certain products of animal origin intended for human consumption. Those model certificates include outdated references to previous legislation that need to be updated. |
(4) |
Third countries, parts of third countries and territories listed in Annex II to Commission Decision 2006/766/EC (7), in Part 1 of Annex I to Commission Regulation (EC) No 798/2008 (8), in Part 1 of Annex I to Commission Regulation (EC) No 119/2009 (9) or in Part 1 of Annex II to Commission Regulation (EU) No 206/2010 (10) meet the Union requirements with regard to imports of fresh meat and certain fishery products. Those lists could also be used for imports of raw materials for the production of gelatine and collagen. However, less strict requirements should apply if those raw materials have been subjected to certain treatments as provided for in Sections XIV and XV of Annex III to Regulation (EC) No 853/2004. |
(5) |
Raw materials for the production of gelatine and collagen, whether or not treated, introduced into the Union for transit to a third country, pose a negligible risk to public health. Such raw materials, even when treated, should, however, comply with the relevant animal health requirements. Accordingly, a list of third countries, parts of third countries and territories should be drawn up and model certificates for transit, and storage before transit, of raw materials and treated raw materials for the production of gelatine and collagen should be laid down. |

Due to the geographical situation of Kaliningrad, specific animal health... |
