THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Commission Regulation (EC) No 669/2009 of 24 July 2009 implementing Regulation (EC) No 882/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council as regards the increased level of official controls on imports of certain feed and food of non-animal origin (1), and in particular Article 9(1) thereof,
Whereas:
|
(1) |
Regulation (EC) No 669/2009 lays down rules concerning those controls, including the physical checks to be carried out at designated points of entry into the European Union. It also lays down minimum requirements for such points of entry and provides for a list of those points of entry to be made publicly available by the Member States on the Internet. |
|
(2) |
Article 9(1) of Regulation (EC) No 669/2009 foresees that the Commission, upon a request of a Member State, may authorise the competent authorities of certain designated points of entry, operating under specific geographical constraints, to carry out the physical checks at the premises of a feed or a food business operator, subject to certain conditions. |
|
(3) |
By letter dated 26 October 2009, Cyprus referred to the specific geographical situation of the designated points of entry of Larnaca Airport and Limassol Port, as well as to the small size of the island, and requested the Commission to authorise the competent authorities of those points of entry to carry out the physical checks pursuant to Regulation (EC) No 669/2009 at the premises of certain feed and food business operators. |
|
(4) |
By letter dated 9 February 2010, Cyprus provided the Commission with assurances to the effect that: only the premises of feed and food business operators fulfilling the minimum requirements for designated points of entry laid down in Regulation (EC) No 669/2009 would be approved for the performance of the physical checks; the level of resources allocated to the competent authorities of Larnaca Airport and Limassol Port would be such that the control activities carried out at those designated points of entry would not be disrupted or adversely affected by the possibility that physical checks would be carried out away from their premises; and consignments selected for physical checks at the premises of a feed or a food business operators would remain under continuous control of the competent authorities of the concerned designated point of entry from the moment of their arrival at such point of entry and in such a way that they cannot be tampered with in any manner throughout all checks. |
|
(5) |
Therefore, taking into account the specific geographical constraints of the designated points of entry of Larnaca Airport and Limassol Port and the confirmation from Cyprus of the fulfilment of the conditions laid down in Article 9(1) of Regulation (EC) No 669/2009, it is appropriate to authorise that physical checks may be carried out at the premises of certain feed and food business operators approved by that Member State for such checks. |
|
(6) |
In order to ensure adequate publicity to the authorisation provided for in this Decision, it is appropriate that a list of the premises of feed and food business operators, approved for physical checks pursuant Regulation (EC) No 669/2009, is made publicly available on the Internet through the national link provided for in Article 5 of that Regulation, |
HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:
Article 1
1. The competent authorities of the designated points of entry of Larnaca Airport and Limassol Port in Cyprus are hereby authorised, in accordance with Article 9(1) of Regulation (EC) No 669/2009, to carry out the physical checks provided for in Article 8(1)(b) of that Regulation on imports of feed and food of non-animal origin listed in Annex I thereto, at the premises of a feed or food business operator approved by Cyprus for such checks, provided that the conditions set out in points (a), (b) and (c) of Article 9(1) of that Regulation are met.
2. The list of feed and food business operators whose premises are approved by Cyprus, as referred to in paragraph 1 of this Article, shall be made publicly available on the Internet through the national link provided for in Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 669/2009.
Article 2
This Decision is addressed to the Republic of Cyprus.
Done at Brussels, 7 June 2010.
