COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) 2024/3163

of 18 December 2024

amending the Annex to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2023/2059 as regards the inclusion of certain goods of plant origin in the list of rest-of-the-world commodities

(Text with EEA relevance)

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

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

Having regard to Regulation (EU) 2023/1231 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 14 June 2023 on specific rules relating to the entry into Northern Ireland from other parts of the United Kingdom of certain consignments of retail goods, plants for planting, seed potatoes, machinery and certain vehicles operated for agricultural or forestry purposes, as well as non-commercial movements of certain pet animals into Northern Ireland (1), and in particular Article 9(4), point (a), thereof,

Whereas:

(1)

Regulation (EU) 2023/1231 lays down specific rules relating to, inter alia, the entry into Northern Ireland from other parts of the United Kingdom of certain consignments of retail goods for placing on the market in Northern Ireland for the final consumer, including specific rules for consignments of rest-of-the-world retail goods.

(2)

More specifically, Article 9(1), point (a), of Regulation (EU) 2023/1231 provides that rest-of-the-world retail goods consisting of commodities of animal or plant origin or composite products subject to the animal health or plant health rules referred to in Article 1(2), points (d), (e) and (g), of Regulation (EU) 2017/625 of the European Parliament and of the Council (2) (‘rest-of-the-world commodities’) may enter into Northern Ireland from other parts of the United Kingdom and be placed on the market in Northern Ireland in accordance with Article 4 of Regulation (EU) 2023/1231 only if the United Kingdom provides written evidence that the import conditions and official controls requirements provided for in Regulations (EC) No 1069/2009 (3), (EU) 2016/429 (4) and (EU) 2016/2031 (5) of the European Parliament and of the Council, in Regulation (EU) 2017/625, and in the Commission acts adopted pursuant to those Regulations apply to those commodities under the national law of the United Kingdom, and those import conditions and official controls requirements are effectively implemented by the United Kingdom.

(3)

Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2023/2059 (6) establishes, in the Annex thereto, the list of rest-of-the-world commodities, which currently lists goods of animal and of non-animal origin.

(4)

By letter dated 11 October 2024, the United Kingdom provided the written evidence that the import conditions and official controls requirements laid down in Regulations (EU) 2016/2031 and (EU) 2017/625 and related to certain goods of plant origin from certain third countries, apply under its national law, and those import conditions and official controls requirements related to these goods are effectively implemented by the United Kingdom. It is therefore appropriate to amend the Annex to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2023/2059 to add those goods to the list of rest-of-the-world commodities.

(5)

In the interest of legal certainty and to avoid any unnecessary disruption to trade, this Regulation should enter into force as a matter of urgency.

(6)

As the United Kingdom provided the written evidence related to the plant health rules referred to in Article 9(1), point (a), of Regulation (EU) 2023/1231 from 2 September 2024 for those rest-of-the-world goods of plant origin, and to avoid any unnecessary disruption to trade, this Regulation should thus apply retroactively from that date.

(7)

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

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1

The Annex to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2023/2059 is amended in accordance with the Annex to this Regulation.

Article 2

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

It shall apply from 2 September 2024.

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

Done at Brussels, 18 December 2024.

For the Commission

The President

Ursula VON DER LEYEN
