THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 853/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 29 April 2004 on laying specific hygiene rules for food of animal origin (1), and in particular Article 7(2), point (a), thereof,

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’) (2), and in particular Articles 238(3) and 239(3) thereof,

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) (3), and in particular Article 90, first paragraph, point (a) and Article 126(3) thereof,

Having regard to Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2023/905 of 27 February 2023 supplementing Regulation (EU) 2019/6 of the European Parliament and of the Council as regards the application of the prohibition of use of certain antimicrobial medicinal products in animals or products of animal origin exported from third countries into the Union (4), and in particular Article 6 thereof,

Whereas:

(1)

Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2020/2235 (5) lays down rules regarding animal health certificates provided for in Regulation (EU) 2016/429, official certificates and attestations provided for in Regulation (EU) 2017/625, and animal health/official certificates based on both those Regulations, required, among other things, for the entry into or transit though the Union of consignments of certain categories of animals and goods intended for human consumption.

(2)

Chapters 1 (model ‘BOV’), 2 (model ‘OVI’), 3 (model ‘POR’), 4 (model ‘EQU’), 5 (model ‘RUF’), 7 (model ‘SUF’), 10 (model ‘RUM-MSM’), 11 (model ‘SUI-MSM’), 13 (model ‘POU’), 15 (model ‘RAT’), 19 (model ‘E’), 20 (model ‘EP’), 23 (model ‘RM’), 24 (model ‘MP-PREP’), 25 (model ‘MPNT’), 26 (model ‘MPST’), 27 (model ‘CAS’), 28 (model ‘FISH-CRUST-HC’), 29 (model ‘EU-FISH’), 30 (model ‘FISH/MOL-CAP’), 31 (model ‘MOL-HC’), 33 (model ‘MILK-RM’), 34 (model ‘MILK-RMP/NT’), 35 (model ‘DAIRY-PRODUCTS-PT’), 36 (model ‘DAIRY-PRODUCTS-ST’), 37 (model ‘COLOSTRUM’), 38 (model ‘COLOSTRUM-BP’), 45 (model ‘HON’) and 49 (model ‘PAO’) of Annex III to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2020/2235 set out model certificates for the entry into the Union of consignments of certain products of animal origin for human consumption. Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2598 (6) lays down the list of third countries or regions thereof authorised for the entry into the Union of certain animals and products of animal origin intended for human consumption in accordance with Regulation (EU) 2017/625 of the European Parliament and of the Council as regards the application of the prohibition on the use of certain antimicrobial medicinal products. The attestation as regards Delegated Regulation (EU) 2023/905 in those model certificates should therefore be amended to include a reference to that list in Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2598.

(3)

An alternative certification option should be added to the animal health attestations in all model certificates for the entry into the Union of products of animal origin intended for human consumption set out in Annex III to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2020/2235 for consignments of such products that are intended for a destination outside the Union and are authorised in Part 1 of Annex XXII to Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2021/404 (7) for transit through the Union with the use of an animal health certificate corresponding to the relevant model certificate set out in Annex III to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2020/2235.

(4)

Chapters 13 (model ‘POU’) and 15 (model ‘RAT’) of Annex III to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2020/2235 set out model certificates for entry into the Union of fresh meat intended for human consumption, excluding minced meat and mechanically separated meat, of poultry other than ratites, and of ratites. In point II.2.1(d) of model ‘POU’ and in point II.2.2 of model ‘RAT’, an alternative certification option regarding infection with Newcastle disease virus should be added for consignments from zones with the entry ‘N’ in column 4 of the table in Part 1, Section B, of Annex XIV to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2021/404.

(5)

Chapters 24 (model ‘MP-PREP’), 25 (model ‘MPNT’) and 26 (model ‘MPST’) set out model certificates for the entry into the Union of meat preparations and certain meat products intended for human consumption. The amendment to Article 15 of Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2022/2292 (8) by Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2025/637 (9), clarifying the types of establishments in which fresh meat used for manufacturing of meat preparations and certain meat products may be obtained (i.e. slaughterhouses, game handling establishments, cutting plants, and establishments producing minced meat, meat preparations and mechanically separated meat), should be reflected in those model certificates.

(6)

Chapter 29 (model ‘EU-FISH’) of Annex III to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2020/2235 sets out the model official certificate for the entry into the Union of fishery products intended for human consumption caught by vessels flying the flag of a Member State and transferred in third countries with or without storage. As fishery products from wild catch are excluded from the application of the provisions of Article 6 of Delegated Regulation (EU) 2022/2292 requiring the third country or region thereof of such fishery products’ origin to have a control plan for pharmacologically active substances, pesticides and contaminants and taking into account that such fishery products are caught by vessels flying the flag of a Member State, the third country where the transfer of fishery products takes place has no responsibility to monitor compliance with Union legislation on contaminants in accordance with Commission Regulation (EU) 2023/915 (10), and on pesticide residues in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 of the European Parliament and of the Council (11), consequently, the two alternatives of point II.1(c) of that model certificate should be deleted.

(7)

Chapter 45 (model ‘HON’) of Annex III to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2020/2235 sets out the model official certificate for the entry into the Union of honey and other apiculture products intended for human consumption. The amendment to Article 13 of Delegated Regulation (EU) 2022/2292 by Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2023/2652 (12) allowing consignments of honey and other apiculture products intended for human consumption to enter the Union only if they were dispatched from, obtained and/or prepared in establishments that appear on the lists drawn up and kept up to date in accordance with Article 127(3), point (e)(ii), of Regulation (EU) 2017/625 should be reflected in that model certificate.

(8)

Chapter 50 (model ‘COMP’) of Annex III to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2020/2235 sets out the model animal health/official certificate for the entry into the Union of non-shelf-stable composite products intended for human consumption and shelf-stable composite products intended for human consumption and containing any quantity of meat products except gelatine not derived from ruminant bones, collagen not derived from ruminant bones and highly refined products, and any quantity of colostrum-based products. As gelatine, collagen and fishery products from wild catch contained in those composite products are excluded from the application of the requirements laid down in Articles 6 to 12 of Delegated Regulation (EU) 2022/2292, certification of those composite products’ components in relation to those requirements should not be covered by point II.2(e) of that model certificate.

(9)

Moreover, Chapter 50 (model ‘COMP’) of Annex III to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2020/2235 should be amended to reflect the requirements provided for in Article 21 of Delegated Regulation (EU) 2022/2292 as regards certification of non-shelf-stable composite products containing honey and other apiculture products. Furthermore, that model certificate should reflect the amendment of Article 13 of Delegated Regulation (EU) 2022/2292 by Delegated Regulation (EU) 2023/2652 as regards the establishment(s) of origin of honey and other apiculture products intended for human consumption.

(10)

In addition, in point 3 of the model private attestation in Annex V to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2020/2235, the exemption concerning gelatine and collagen should be limited to gelatine or collagen not derived from ruminant bones in accordance with Article 22(1), point (a)(i), of Delegated Regulation (EU) 2022/2292. In point 10 of the model private attestation, the origin of dairy products contained in shelf-stable composite products should be clarified to reflect the animal health requirements laid down in Article 163 of Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2020/692 (13).

(11)

In the interests of clarity and consistency of Union rules, the model certificates and the model attestation set out in Annexes III and V to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2020/2235 should be updated and clarified, including updating titles, references, notes and structural elements and clarifying the wording of certain requirements, and replaced by the model certificates and the model attestation set out in Annexes I and II to this Regulation. Implementing Regulation (EU) 2020/2235 should therefore be amended accordingly.

(12)

In order to avoid any disruption to trade as regards the entry into the Union and transit through the Union to a third country of consignments of certain categories of animals and goods referred to in Articles 8 to 30a and 33 of Implementing Regulation (EU) 2020/2235 due to the amendments made to Annexes III and V to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2020/2235 by this Regulation, the use of certificates or attestations issued in accordance with Implementing Regulation (EU) 2020/2235, as applicable prior to the amendments made by this Regulation, should continue to be authorised during a transitional period subject to certain conditions.

(13)

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

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1

1.   Annex III to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2020/2235 is replaced by the text set out in Annex I to this Regulation.

In accordance with the Agreement on the withdrawal of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland from the European Union and the European Atomic Energy Community, and in particular Article 5(4) of the Windsor Framework (see Joint Declaration No 1/2023 of the Union and the United Kingdom in the Joint Committee established by the Agreement on the withdrawal of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland from the European Union and the European Atomic Energy Community of 24 March 2023, OJ L 102, 17.4.2023, p. 87) in conjunction with Annex 2 to that Framework, references to the Union in this animal health/official certificate include the United Kingdom in respect of Northern Ireland.

This animal health/official certificate is intended for the entry into the Union of live fish, live crustaceans and products of animal origin from those animals, including when the Union is not the final destination of such live aquatic animals and their products.

“Aquatic animals” are animals as defined in Article 4, point (3), of Regulation (EU) 2016/429 of the European Parliament and of the Council.

“Aquaculture animals” are aquatic animals which are subject to aquaculture as defined in Article 4, point (7), of Regulation (EU) 2016/429.

“Further processing” means any type of measures and techniques, carried out before the placing on the market for human consumption, affecting anatomical wholeness, such as bleeding, evisceration, heading, slicing and filleting which produce waste or by-products which could cause a risk of disease spread.

All aquatic animals and products of animal origin from aquatic animals other than live aquatic animals, to which point II.2.4 of this animal health/official certificate applies, shall originate from a third country or territory, or zone, or compartment thereof which appears in column 2 of the table in Part 1 of Annex XXI to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2021/404.

Point II.2.4 of the animal health/official certificate does not apply to the following crustaceans and fish, and they may therefore originate from a third country or region thereof which is listed in Annex IX to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2021/405:

(a)

crustaceans which are packaged and labelled for human consumption in accordance with the specific requirements for those animals as set out in Regulation (EC) No 853/2004 and which are no longer able to survive as living animals if returned to the aquatic environment,

(b)

crustaceans which are intended for human consumption without further processing, provided they are packaged for retail sale in compliance with the requirements for such packages as set out in Regulation (EC) No 853/2004,

(c)

crustaceans which are packaged and labelled for human consumption in accordance with the specific requirements for those animals as set out in Regulation (EC) No 853/2004 and which are intended for further processing without temporary storage at the place of processing,

(d)

fish which are slaughtered and eviscerated before dispatch.

This animal health/official certificate applies to products of animal origin as well as to live aquatic animals including those destined for a disease control aquatic food establishment as defined in Article 4, point (52), of Regulation (EU) 2016/429 which are intended for human consumption in accordance with Section VII of Annex III to Regulation (EC) No 853/2004.
