COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING DECISION (EU) 2019/1769

of 23 October 2019

amending Decision 2009/821/EC as regards the lists of border inspection posts and veterinary units in Traces

(notified under document C(2019) 7637)

(Text with EEA relevance)

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

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

Having regard to Council Directive 90/425/EEC of 26 June 1990 concerning veterinary checks applicable in intra-Union trade in certain live animals and products with a view to the completion of the internal market (1), and in particular Article 20(1) and (3) thereof,

Having regard to Council Directive 91/496/EEC of 15 July 1991 laying down the principles governing the organisation of veterinary checks on animals entering the Community from third countries and amending Directives 89/662/EEC, 90/425/EEC and 90/675/EEC (2), and in particular the second sentence of the second subparagraph of Article 6(4) and Article 6(5) thereof,

Having regard to Council Directive 97/78/EC of 18 December 1997 laying down the principles governing the organisation of veterinary checks on products entering the Community from third countries (3), and in particular Article 6(2) thereof,

Whereas:

(1)

On 29 March 2017, the United Kingdom submitted the notification of its intention to withdraw from the Union pursuant to Article 50 of the Treaty on European Union (TEU). On 11 April 2019, the European Council adopted Decision (EU) 2019/584 (4) extending the period under Article 50(3) TEU in agreement with the United Kingdom. In accordance with that Decision, the period provided for in Article 50(3) TEU has been further extended until 31 October 2019. Union law will therefore cease to apply to and in the United Kingdom from 1 November 2019 (‘the withdrawal date’).

(2)

Commission Decision 2009/821/EC (5) lays down the list of border inspection posts approved in accordance with Directives 91/496/EEC and 97/78/EC and the list of central, regional and local units in the integrated computerised veterinary system (Traces). Those lists are respectively set out in Annex I and Annex II to that Decision.

(3)

Following the proposal from Belgium, the approval of the border inspection post at Zeebrugge port should be extended to unpacked products for human consumption. It is therefore appropriate to amend accordingly the list of entries for that Member State set out in Annex I to Decision 2009/821/EC.

(4)

Following the proposal from Denmark, a new inspection centre should be listed at the border inspection post at Esbjerg port for the inspection of packed products. It is therefore appropriate to amend accordingly the list of entries for that Member State set out in Annex I to Decision 2009/821/EC.

(5)

Following the proposal from Ireland, the approval of the border inspection post at Dublin airport should be extended to packed products and to certain categories of animals, the approval of the border inspection post at Dublin port should be extended to certain categories of animals and to unpacked products for human consumption, a new border inspection post at Rosslare port should be approved for animals and products and the approval of the border inspection post at Shannon should be extended to all categories of equidae. It is therefore appropriate to amend accordingly the list of entries for that Member State set out in Annex I to Decision 2009/821/EC.

(6)

Following the proposal from Spain, the suspension of the border inspection post for products for human consumption at Santander port should be lifted. It is therefore appropriate to amend accordingly the list of entries for that Member State set out in Annex I to Decision 2009/821/EC.

(7)

Following the proposal from France, new border inspection posts at Caen-Ouistreham port, Calais port and rail, Cherbourg port, Dieppe port, Roscoff port and Saint-Malo port should be approved for certain categories of products or certain categories of animals. In addition, the approval of the border inspection post at Dunkerque port should be extended to unpacked products for human consumption. It is therefore appropriate to amend accordingly the list of entries for that Member State set out in Annex I to Decision 2009/821/EC.

(8)

Following the proposal from the Netherlands, two new inspection centres should be listed at the border inspection post at Rotterdam port for the inspection of certain categories of products. It is therefore appropriate to amend accordingly the list of entries for that Member State set out in Annex I to Decision 2009/821/EC.

(9)

Annexes I and II to Decision 2009/821/EC should therefore be amended accordingly.

(10)

This Decision should apply from 1 November 2019, unless Union law continues to apply to and in the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland on that date.

(11)

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

HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:

Article 1

Annexes I and II to Decision 2009/821/EC are amended in accordance with the Annex to this Decision.

Article 2

This Decision shall apply from 1 November 2019.

However, it shall not apply if Union law continues to apply to and in the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland on that date.
