    COMMISSION DELEGATED REGULATION (EU) 2024/2562

    of 3 June 2024

    amending Delegated Regulation (EU) 2022/1644 as regards certain criteria for the selection of samples

    (Text with EEA relevance)

    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) (1), and in particular Article 19(2), point (a), thereof,

    Whereas:

    (1)

    Annex II to Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2022/1644 (2) sets out criteria for the selection of specific combinations of substance groups and commodity groups for the national risk-based control plans for production in the Member States. Based on practical experience with the application of Delegated Regulation (EU) 2022/1644, there are no relevant substances from substance group A(3), point (b) for raw bovine, ovine and caprine milk and for honey in the national risk-based control plans for production in the Member States to be checked. Furthermore, after the entry into force of Delegated Regulation (EU) 2022/1644, the content of the subgroups of prohibited or unauthorised pharmacologically active substances in food-producing animals (‘Group A substances’) referred to in Annex I to that Delegated Regulation has evolved. As a consequence, there are no relevant substances from substance group A(3), point (f) for certain commodities to be checked. Therefore, the mandatory requirement of sampling should be removed from the table in point A.1 of Annex II to Delegated Regulation (EU) 2022/1644 for the combinations of substance groups and commodity groups concerned.

    (2)

    Annex IV to Delegated Regulation (EU) 2022/1644 contains a provision on Group A substances that specifies the criteria for the selection of specific combinations of substance groups and commodity groups for the national randomised surveillance plans for production in the Member States. To improve the clarity of that provision, it should be rephrased.

    (3)

    Based on practical experience with the application of Delegated Regulation (EU) 2022/1644, there are no relevant substances from substance group B(1), point (e) for all commodity groups and no relevant substances from substance group B(2) for raw bovine, ovine and caprine milk in the national randomised surveillance plans for production in the Member States to be checked. Therefore, the mandatory requirement of sampling should be removed from the table in Annex IV to Delegated Regulation (EU) 2022/1644 for the combinations of substance groups and commodity groups concerned.

    (4)

    Delegated Regulation (EU) 2022/1644 should therefore be amended accordingly.

    (5)

    As the rules laid down in Delegated Regulation (EU) 2022/1644 are to be included in the national risk-based control plans and the national randomised surveillance plans that are to be submitted to the Commission for evaluation annually in accordance with Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2022/1646 (3), this Regulation should apply for the first time to the plans for the year 2025. This Regulation should therefore apply from 1 January 2025,

    HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

    Article 1

    Annexes II and IV to Delegated Regulation (EU) 2022/1644 are amended in accordance with the Annex to this Regulation.

    Article 2

    This Regulation shall enter into force on the twentieth day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.

    It shall apply from 1 January 2025.

    This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

    Done at Brussels, 3 June 2024.

    For the Commission

    The President

    Ursula VON DER LEYEN
