COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) 2021/1937

of 9 November 2021

amending Implementing Regulation (EU) 2021/404 as regards the entry into the Union of consignments of molluscs and crustaceans intended to be kept for ornamental purposes in closed facilities and laying down the list of third countries or territories, or the zones or compartments thereof from which the entry into the Union of such consignments is authorised

(Text with EEA relevance)

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

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

Having regard to Regulation (EU) 2016/429 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 9 March 2016 on transmissible animal diseases and amending and repealing certain acts in the area of animal health (‘Animal Health Law’) (1), and in particular Article 230(1) thereof,

Whereas:

(1)

Regulation (EU) 2016/429 lays down, inter alia, the animal health requirements for the entry into the Union of consignments of animals, germinal products and products of animal origin, and it applies from 21 April 2021. One of those animal health requirements is that those consignments must come from a third country or territory, or a zone or compartment thereof, listed in accordance with Article 230(1) of that Regulation.

(2)

Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2020/692 (2) supplements Regulation (EU) 2016/429 as regards the animal health requirements for the entry into the Union of, inter alia, consignments of certain species and categories of aquatic animals from third countries or territories, or the zones or, in the case of aquaculture animals, compartments thereof. Delegated Regulation (EU) 2020/692 provides that consignments of aquatic animals falling within its scope may only be permitted to enter into the Union, if they come from a third country or territory, or a zone or, in the case of aquaculture animals, a compartment thereof, listed for the particular species and categories of those aquatic animals in accordance with the animal health requirements laid down in that Delegated Regulation.

(3)

Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2021/404 (3) establishes a list of third countries or territories, or the zones or compartments thereof from which the entry into the Union of, inter alia, species and categories of those aquatic animals that fall within the scope of Delegated Regulation (EU) 2020/692 is permitted.

(4)

For many years, molluscs and crustaceans intended to be kept for ornamental purposes in closed facilities have entered the Union from third countries or territories, which were listed by the World Organisation for Animal Health (OIE), in accordance with Chapter IV of Council Directive 2006/88/EC (4), now repealed by Regulation (EU) 2016/429, and Article 11 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1251/2008 (5), now repealed by Implementing Regulation (EU) 2020/2236 (6). The importation of these aquatic animals has not been associated with outbreaks of listed diseases of molluscs or crustaceans, and during that time, experience has been gathered from official controls carried out on such consignments at points of entry into the Union, and in certain cases, by official controls carried out by the Commission in the third country or territory concerned.

(5)

Under Article 230(1), point (i), of Regulation (EU) 2016/429 the Commission may, by means of implementing acts, draw up a list of third countries and territories from which the entry into the Union of specific species and categories of animals may be permitted, based on any experience gathered from previous entries of animals from the third country or territory concerned, and from the results of official controls carried out at the point of entry into the Union of such animals.

(6)

It is appropriate to amend Implementing Regulation (EU) 2021/404 to take account of the experience gathered with the previous trade in those molluscs or crustaceans of listed species, thereby ensuring a smooth transition from the previous legislative framework, under Directive 2006/88/EC and Regulation (EC) No 1251/2008, to the new legislative framework, under Regulation (EU) 2016/429.

(7)

Article 3(1), point (t), of Implementing Regulation (EU) 2021/404 should therefore be amended to take account of the new list, laid down by this Regulation, of third countries or territories or the zones or compartments thereof, from which the entry into the Union of consignments of molluscs and crustaceans of listed species intended to be kept for ornamental purposes in closed facilities is authorised.

(8)

Annex XXI to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2021/404, laying down the list of third countries or territories, or the zones or compartments thereof from which the entry into the Union of consignments of certain aquatic animals is authorised, should be amended to include that new list and the existing list should therefore be updated accordingly. To ensure clarity, the version of Annex XXI to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2021/404 in force should be replaced by a new one.

(9)	Implementing Regulation (EU) 2021/404 should therefore be amended accordingly.

(10)	As Implementing Regulation (EU) 2021/404 applies from 21 April 2021, in the interest of legal certainty, the amendments to be made to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2021/404 by this Regulation should take effect as a matter of urgency.

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

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1

Implementing Regulation (EU) 2021/404 is amended as follows:

(1)
