COMMISSION DELEGATED REGULATION (EU) 2021/2244
of 7 October 2021
supplementing Regulation (EU) 2017/625 of the European Parliament and of the Council with specific rules on official controls as regards sampling procedures for pesticides residues in food and feed
(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 point (a) of Article 19(2) thereof,
Whereas
|
(1) |
Regulation (EU) 2017/625 lays down rules for the performance of official controls and other official activities by the competent authorities of the Member States to verify compliance with Union legislation, inter alia, in the area of food safety at all stages of production, processing and distribution. It provides for specific rules on official controls in relation to substances whose use may result in residues of those substances in food and feed. |
|
(2) |
Regulation (EU) 2017/625 deletes Article 27(1) of Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 of the European Parliament and of the Council (2), which however remains applicable until 14 December 2022 unless an earlier date is set by a delegated act. That Article 27(1) lays down specific requirements for the performance of official controls as regards sampling procedures for the analysis of pesticide residues in food and feed. |
|
(3) |
Article 19(1) of Regulation (EU) 2017/625 lays down the specific requirements on official controls in relation to the residues of relevant substances in food and feed to be performed at any stage of production, processing and distribution. |
|
(4) |
The aim of monitoring pesticide residues in food and feed is to ensure compliance with the maximum residue levels established by Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 as well as to assess the consumer exposure to pesticides residues. It requires food and feed samples to be taken in a sufficient number and range to ensure that they are representative of the market. It also requires those samples to be taken at the most appropriate sampling point in the food chain. |
|
(5) |
It is therefore appropriate to supplement Article 19(1) of Regulation (EU) 2017/625 by laying down rules for the performance of the official controls as regards the relevant sampling procedures for pesticide residues in food and feed. |
|
(6) |
As the rules laid down in Article 27(1) of Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 regarding official controls for sampling will no longer apply as from 15 December 2022, this Regulation should apply from that date, |
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
For the purposes of the official controls on pesticide residues, as provided for in Article 19(1) of Regulation (EU) 2017/625, each Member State shall take a sufficient number and range of samples of food and feed to ensure that the results are representative of the market, taking into account the results of previous multiannual national control programmes.
The sampling provided for in the first paragraph shall be carried out as close to the point of supply as is reasonable.
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 15 December 2022.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

COMMISSION DELEGATED REGULATION (EU) 2021/2245
of 12 October 2021
amending Delegated Regulation (EU) 2017/891 as regards the calculation of the value of marketed production of producer organisations in the fruit and vegetable sector
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 17 December 2013 establishing a common organisation of the markets in agricultural products and repealing Council Regulations (EEC) No 922/72, (EEC) No 234/79, (EC) No 1037/2001 and (EC) No 1234/2007 (1), and in particular Article 37, point (c)(i) and (iv), thereof,
Whereas:
|
(1) |
Natural disasters or adverse climatic events have increasingly damaged the production of fruit and vegetables in the Union for several years. In 2017, the European Union Solidarity Fund, which was established by Council Regulation (EC) No 2012/2002 (2), was mobilised and a specific aid was granted to Latvia with the view to repairing damage caused by intense floods in the summer and autumn of 2017. In 2018, due to heavy rainfall and floods that occurred in some parts of the Union (Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, and Finland), Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2018/108 (3) granted an emergency measure in the form of aid to farmers. In spring 2021, a severe period of frost occurred in certain regions of several Member States (especially in Spain, France, Italy) and for certain products (peaches, nectarines, apples and others). Consequently more than 50 % of the production is lost. |
|
(2) |
In view of more frequent natural disasters or adverse climatic events, a long-term solution regarding the calculation of the value of marketed production of producer organisations is needed, in order to reinforce their resilience for the future. It is necessary to amend Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2017/891 (4) by providing for flexibility in the calculation of the value of marketed production of producer organisations in the Union in case they face natural disasters and climatic events making the production unusable for consumption and processing. |
|
(3) |
Large losses in the value of marketed production caused by natural disasters or adverse climatic events have a major impact on the amount of Union aid received by producer organisations in the subsequent year, as the amount of Union aid is calculated as a percentage of the value of marketed production of each producer organisation. Where a large part or the entire harvest is lost, producer organisations risk losing their recognition, as one of the criteria for the recognition is reaching a certain minimum value of marketed production fixed at national level. This would entail a double economic loss, which would put at risk the long-term stability of producer organisations. |
|
(4) |
In view of the increased frequency of natural disasters or adverse climatic events and the resulting significantly larger production loss, the safeguard established by Article 23(4) of Delegated Regulation (EU) 2017/891 pursuant to which the value of marketed production of a product is to be deemed to represent 65 % of its value in the previous reference period, is insufficient. |
|
(5) |
Therefore, and due to the need to achieve economic and financial stability of producer organisations concerned by large losses in the value of marketed production caused by natural disasters and adverse climatic events, the threshold for the calculation of the value of marketed production for a given reference period should be increased. Taking into consideration the important damage caused by the recent adverse climatic events, the value of marketed production in case of natural disasters and adverse climatic events laid down in Article 23(4) of Delegated Regulation (EU) 2017/891 should be increased to 85 %. |
|
(6) |
Furthermore, a solution should be provided to avoid situations where producer organisations, that invest in preventive measures and nonetheless incur substantial damage due to natural disasters, adverse climatic events, plant diseases or pest infestation, not only incur losses of their value of marketed production but also see their Union financial assistance decreased. Therefore, the value of marketed production laid down in Article 23(4) of Delegated Regulation (EU) 2017/891 should be increased to 100 % for producer organisations, that prove that they have taken the necessary preventive measures against plant diseases, pest infestations, natural disasters and adverse climatic events such as heating systems or nets installed in fields, insurance schemes, or setting-up of mutual funds. |
|
(7) |
Delegated Regulation (EU) 2017/891 should therefore be amended accordingly. |
|
(8) |
In view of the implementation of operational programmes by calendar years and considering that the calculation of the value of marketed production that determines the amount of maximum Union financial assistance is based on the previous calendar year, it is necessary that this Regulation enters into force as soon as possible, on the day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union, |
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
In paragraph 4 of Article 23 of Delegated Regulation (EU) 2017/891, the second subparagraph is replaced by the following:
‘Where a reduction of at least 35 % in the value of a product has occurred due to natural disasters, climatic events, plant diseases or pest infestations falling outside the responsibility and control of the producer organisation, the value of marketed production of that product shall be deemed to represent 85 % of its value in the previous reference period. The producer organisation shall prove to the competent authority of the Member State concerned that those reasons were falling outside its responsibility and control. In case the producer organisation proves to the competent authority of the Member State concerned that it has taken the necessary preventive measures against the natural disaster, climatic event, plant disease or pest infestation concerned, the value of marketed production of that product shall be deemed to represent 100 % of its value in the previous reference period.’.
Article 2
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) 2021/2246
of 15 December 2021
amending Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/1793 on the temporary increase of official controls and emergency measures governing the entry into the Union of certain goods from certain third countries implementing Regulations (EU) 2017/625 and (EC) No 178/2002 of the European Parliament and of the Council
(Text with EEA relevance)
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 178/2002 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 28 January 2002 laying down the general principles and requirements of food law, establishing the European Food Safety Authority and laying down procedures in matters of food safety (1), and in particular Article 53(1), point (b)(ii), 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) (2), and in particular Article 47(2), point (b), and Article 54(4), points (a) and (b), thereof,
Whereas:
|
(1) |
Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/1793 (3) lays down rules on the temporary increase of official controls at the entry into the Union on certain food and feed of non-animal origin from certain third countries listed in Annex I to that Implementing Regulation, and on the imposition of special conditions governing the entry into the Union of certain consignments of food and feed from certain third countries due to the risk of contamination by mycotoxins, including aflatoxins, pesticide residues, pentachlorophenol and dioxins, and microbiological contamination, listed in Annex II to that Implementing Regulation. |
|
(2) |
Article 12 of Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/1793 provides that the lists set out in Annexes I and II to that Implementing Regulation are to be reviewed at regular intervals not exceeding 6 months, in order to take into account new information related to risks to human health and non-compliance with Union legislation, such as the data resulting from notifications received through the rapid alert system established by Regulation (EC) No 178/2002, as well as data and information concerning consignments and the results of the documentary, identity and physical checks communicated by the Member States to the Commission. |
|
(3) |
The occurrence and relevance of recent food incidents notified through the Rapid Alert System for Food and Feed (‘RASFF’) indicating the existence of a serious direct or indirect risk to human health deriving from food or feed, as established by Regulation (EC) No 178/2002, and information regarding official controls performed by Member States on food and feed of non-animal origin in the first semester of 2021 indicate that the lists set out in Annexes I and II to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/1793 should be amended in order to protect human health in the Union. |
|
(4) |
Groundnuts and products produced from groundnuts from Argentina have been subject to an increased level of official controls due to the risk of contamination by aflatoxins since January 2019. The official controls carried out by the Member States and available information show improvement in compliance with the relevant requirements provided for in Union legislation. Those results provide evidence that the entry of those foodstuffs into the Union does not constitute a serious risk for human health. As a consequence, it is not necessary to continue to provide that each consignment is accompanied by an official certificate stating that all results of sampling and analysis show compliance with Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 of the European Parliament and of the Council (4). At the same time, Member States should continue to carry out controls to ensure that the current level of compliance will be maintained. Therefore, the entry concerning groundnuts from Argentina in Annex II to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/1793 should be deleted and transferred to Annex I to that Implementing Regulation, maintaining the level of frequency of identity and physical checks at 5 % of consignments entering the Union. |
|
(5) |
Hazelnuts and products produced from hazelnuts from Azerbaijan have been subject to an increased level of official controls due to the risk of contamination by aflatoxins since January 2019. The official controls carried out by the Member States and available information show improvement in compliance with the relevant requirements provided for in Union legislation. Those results provide evidence that the entry of those foodstuffs into the Union does not constitute a serious risk for human health. As a consequence, it is not necessary to continue to provide that each consignment has been accompanied by an official certificate stating that all results of sampling and analysis show compliance with the Regulation (EC) No 396/2005. At the same time, Member States should continue to carry out controls to ensure that the current level of compliance will be maintained. Therefore, the entry concerning hazelnuts from Azerbaijan in Annex II to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/1793 should be deleted and transferred to Annex I to that Implementing Regulation, maintaining the level of frequency of identity and physical checks at 20 % of consignments entering the Union. |
|
(6) |
Black pepper (Piper nigrum) from Brazil has been subject to an increased level of official controls due to the risk of contamination by Salmonella since January 2019. The official controls carried out on those foodstuffs by the Member States show a persistent high rate of non-compliance since the establishment of the increased level of official controls. Those results provide evidence that the entry of those foodstuffs into the Union constitutes a serious risk for human health. |
|
(7) |
It is therefore necessary, in addition to the increased level of official controls, to provide for special conditions in relation to the importation of black pepper (Piper nigrum) from Brazil. In particular, all consignments of black pepper from Brazil should be accompanied by an official certificate stating that all results of sampling and analysis show the absence of Salmonella in 25 g. The results of the sampling and analysis should be attached to that certificate. Therefore, the entry on black pepper from Brazil in Annex I to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/1793 should be transferred to Annex II to that Implementing Regulation with a frequency of identity and physical checks set at 50 % of consignments entering the Union. |
|
(8) |
In relation to consignments of Galia melons (Cucumis melo var. reticulatus) from Honduras, the data resulting from notifications in the RASFF and information regarding official controls performed by Member States indicate the emergence of new risks to human health, due to a possible contamination by Salmonella Braenderup. It is therefore necessary to require an increased level of official controls on entries of those commodities from Honduras. Such commodities should therefore be included in Annex I to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/1793, with a frequency of identity and physical checks set at 10 % of consignments entering the Union. |
|
(9) |
Sweet peppers (Capsicum annum) from China have been subjected to an increased level of official controls due to the risk of contamination by Salmonella since January 2019. The official controls carried out by the Member States and available information show improvement in compliance with the relevant requirements provided for in Union legislation. Therefore, an increased level of official controls at the level of 20 % of consignments entering the Union is no longer justified for this commodity. However, Member States should continue to carry out controls to ensure that the current level of compliance will be maintained. The corresponding entry in Annex I to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/1793 should be modified and the frequency of identity and physical checks decreased to 10 % of consignments entering the Union. |
|
(10) |
Aubergines (Solanum melongena) from the Dominican Republic have been subject to an increased level of official controls due to the risk of contamination by pesticide residues since January 2019. The official controls carried out on those foodstuffs by the Member States show a persistent high rate of non-compliance since the establishment of the increased level of official controls. Those results provide evidence that the entry of those foodstuffs into the Union constitutes a serious risk for human health. |
|
(11) |
It is therefore necessary, in addition to the increased level of official controls, to provide for the imposition of special conditions in relation to aubergines (Solanum melongena) from the Dominican Republic. In particular, all consignments of that commodity from the Dominican Republic should be accompanied by an official certificate stating that all results of sampling and analysis show compliance with Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 on maximum residue levels of pesticides for consignments of food and feed listed in Annex II to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/1793 due to the contamination risk by pesticide residues. The results of the sampling and analysis should be attached to that certificate. Therefore, the entry on aubergines (Solanum melongena) from the Dominican Republic in Annex I to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/1793 should be deleted and transferred to Annex II to that Implementing Regulation, with a frequency of identity and physical checks maintained at 50 % of consignments entering the Union. |
|
(12) |
Peppers of the genus Capsicum and Yardlong beans from the Dominican Republic have been subject to an increased level of official controls due to the risk of contamination by pesticide residues since January 2010. The official controls carried out on those foodstuffs by the Member States show a persistent high rate of non-compliance since the establishment of the increased level of official controls. Those results provide evidence that the entry of those foodstuffs into the Union constitutes a serious risk for human health. |
|
(13) |
It is therefore necessary, in addition to the increased level of official controls, to provide for the imposition of special conditions in relation to peppers of the genus Capsicum and Yardlong beans from the Dominican Republic. In particular, all consignments of peppers of the genus Capsicum and Yardlong beans from the Dominican Republic should be accompanied by an official certificate stating that all results of sampling and analysis show compliance with Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 on maximum residue levels of pesticides for consignments of food and feed listed in Annex II to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/1793 due to the contamination risk by pesticide residues. The results of the sampling and analysis should be attached to that certificate. Therefore, the entry on peppers of the genus Capsicum and Yardlong beans from the Dominican Republic in Annex I to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/1793 should be deleted and transferred to Annex II to that Implementing Regulation, with a frequency of identity and physical checks maintained at 50 %. |
|
(14) |
In relation to consignments of drumsticks (Moringa oleifera) from India, the data resulting from notifications in the RASFF and information regarding official controls performed by Member States indicate the emergence of new risks to human health, due to a possible contamination by pesticide residues. It is therefore necessary to require an increased level of official controls on entries of this commodity from India. Such commodities should therefore be included in Annex I to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/1793, with a frequency of identity and physical checks set at 10 %. |
|
(15) |
In relation to consignments of peppers of the genus Capsicum (other than sweet) from India, a high frequency of non-compliance with the relevant requirements provided for in Union legislation with respect to contamination by pesticide residues was detected during official controls performed by Member States in accordance with Annex II to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/1793. It is therefore appropriate to increase the frequency of identity and physical checks to be performed on such consignments to 20 %. |
|
(16) |
In relation to consignments of rice from India and Pakistan, the data resulting from notifications in the RASFF and information regarding official controls performed by Member States indicate the emergence of new risks to human health, due to a possible contamination by aflatoxins and ochratoxine A. It is therefore necessary to require an increased level of official controls on entries of such consignments. Entries of those commodities from India and Pakistan should therefore be included in Annex I to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/1793, with a frequency of identity and physical checks set at 10 %. |
|
(17) |
In relation to consignments of gotukola (Centella asiatica) and mukunuwenna (Alternanthera sessilis) from Sri Lanka, the data resulting from notifications in the RASFF and information regarding official controls performed by Member States indicate the emergence of new risks to human health, due to a possible contamination by pesticide residues. It is therefore necessary to require an increased level of official controls on entries of such consignments. Entries of those commodities from Sri Lanka should therefore be included in Annex I to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/1793, with a frequency of identity and physical checks set at 10 %. |
|
(18) |
Hazelnuts and products produced from hazelnuts from Turkey have been subject to an increased level of official controls due to the risk of contamination by aflatoxins April 2021. The official controls carried out on those foodstuffs by the Member States indicate an overall satisfactory degree of compliance with the relevant requirements provided for in Union legislation. Therefore, an increased level of official controls is no longer justified for this commodity and its entry in Annex I to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/1793 should be deleted. |
|
(19) |
In relation to consignments of grapefruits from Turkey, the data resulting from notifications in the RASFF and information regarding official controls performed by Member States indicate the emergence of new risks to human health, due to a possible contamination by pesticide residues. It is therefore necessary to require an increased level of official controls on entries of such consignments. Entries of that commodity from Turkey should therefore be included in Annex I to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/1793, with a frequency of identity and physical checks set at 10 %. |
|
(20) |
Mandarins (including tangerines and satsumas), clementines, wilkings and similar citrus hybrids and oranges from Turkey have been subject to an increased level of official controls due to the risk of contamination by pesticide residues since January 2020. The official controls carried out on those foodstuffs by the Member States show a persistent high rate of non-compliance since the establishment of the increased level of official controls. Those results provide evidence that the entry of those foodstuffs into the Union constitutes a serious risk for human health. |
|
(21) |
It is therefore necessary, in addition to the increased level of official controls, to provide for the imposition of special conditions in relation to mandarins and oranges from Turkey. In particular, all consignments of mandarins (including tangerines and satsumas), clementines, wilkings and similar citrus hybrids and oranges from Turkey should be accompanied by an official certificate stating that all results of sampling and analysis show compliance with Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 on maximum residue levels of pesticides for consignments of food and feed listed in Annex II to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/1793 due to the contamination risk by pesticide residues. The results of the sampling and analysis should be attached to that certificate. Therefore, the entry on mandarins and oranges from Turkey in Annex I to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/1793 should be deleted and transferred to Annex II to that Implementing Regulation with a frequency of identity and physical checks raised to 20 %. |
|
(22) |
In relation to consignments of cumin seeds and dried oregano from Turkey, the data resulting from notifications in the RASFF and information regarding official controls performed by Member States indicate the emergence of new risks to human health, due to a possible contamination by pyrrolizidine alkaloids. It is therefore necessary to require an increased level of official controls on entries of such consignments. Entries of these commodities from Turkey should therefore be included in Annex I to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/1793, with a frequency of identity and physical checks set at 10 % of consignments entering the Union. |
|
(23) |
In relation to pitahaya (dragon fruit) from Vietnam, a high frequency of non-compliance with the relevant requirements provided for in Union legislation with respect to contamination by pesticide residues was detected during official controls performed by Member States in accordance with Annex II to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/1793. It is therefore appropriate to increase the frequency of identity and physical checks to be performed on such consignments to 20 %. |
|
(24) |
The risk arising from contamination of groundnuts by aflatoxins is associated as well with groundnuts paste. Therefore to ensure efficient protection against potential health risks arising from contamination of groundnuts paste by aflatoxins, in the columns referring to ‘Food and feed (intended use)’ and ‘CN code’ in Annex I and in Table 1 of Annex II to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/1793, the category ‘groundnuts paste’ and relevant CN codes for groundnuts paste should be added for the entries relating to groundnuts for Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, China, Madagascar, Senegal and for the United States in Annex I and for Egypt, Ghana, Gambia, India and Sudan in Annex II. |
|
(25) |
Sesamum seeds from India have been subjected to an increased level of official controls in view of a risk of contamination by pesticide residues including ethylene oxide since October 2020. The official controls carried out by Member States and available information show improvement in compliance with the relevant requirements in Union legislation regarding pesticide residues other than ethylene oxide. Therefore, an increased level of official controls of consignments of sesamum seed for the possible contamination with pesticide residues that can be analysed with multi-residues methods is no longer necessary for this commodity. Therefore the corresponding entry in Annex II to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/1793 should be modified accordingly. |
|

Data resulting from notifications in the RASFF and information regarding official controls performed by Member States indicate the emergence of new risks to human health, due to a possible contamination by ethylene oxide, requiring an increased level of official controls. Ethylene oxide is classified as a mutagen, category 1B, a carcinogen, category 1B, and a reproductive toxicant, category 1B, in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 of the European Parliament and of the Council (5). Moreover, ethylene oxide is not approved as an active substance for use in plant protection products in the Union. |
|
(27) |
In relation to consignments of locust beans (carob), mucilages and thickeners, whether or not modified, derived from locust beans or locust bean seeds from Morocco, spice paste from Mexico and peppers of the genus Capsicum (other than sweet) from Uganda, results from official controls performed by Member States show occurrences of contamination by ethylene oxide. |
|
(28) |
Therefore, in order to ensure efficient protection against potential health risks arising from contamination of those commodities, consignments of locust beans (carob), mucilages and thickeners, whether or not modified, derived from locust beans or locust bean seeds from Morocco, spice paste from Mexico and peppers of the genus Capsicum (other than sweet) from Uganda should therefore be included in Annex I to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/1793, with a frequency of identity and physical checks set at 10 %. |
|
(29) |
Taking into account the number of RASFF notifications received, it is appropriate to provide for special conditions for consignments of xanthan gum from China, locust beans (including mucilages and thickeners derived from locust beans), Guar gum, several spices, Calcium carbonate and food supplements containing botanicals from India, food supplements containing botanicals and instant noodles from South Korea, locust beans (including mucilages and thickeners derived from locust beans) from Malaysia and Turkey, and instant noodles from Vietnam. Due to the contamination risk by ethylene oxide, consignments of those products should be accompanied by an official certificate stating that all results of sampling and analysis show compliance with Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 on maximum residue levels of ethylene oxide for consignments of food and feed listed in Annex II to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/1793. The results of the sampling and analysis should be attached to that certificate. Therefore, entries of consignments of xanthan gum from China, locust beans (including mucilages and thickeners derived from locust beans), Guar gum, several spices, Calcium carbonate and food supplements containing botanicals from India, food supplements containing botanicals and instant noodles from South Korea, locust beans (including mucilages and thickeners derived from locust beans) from Malaysia and Turkey, and instant noodles from Vietnam should be included in Annex II to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/1793, with a frequency of identity and physical checks set at 20 %. |
|
(30) |
In order to ensure consistency and clarity, it is appropriate to replace Annexes I and II to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/1793 in their entirety by the text set out in the Annex to this Regulation. |
|
(31) |
It is appropriate to provide for a transitional period for consignments of black pepper (Piper nigrum) from Brazil, of aubergines (Solanum melongena), of sweet peppers (Capsicum annuum), of peppers of the genus Capsicum (other than sweet) and yardlong beans (Vigna unguiculata ssp. sesquipedalis, Vigna unguiculata ssp. unguiculata) from the Dominican Republic and of mandarins (including tangerines and satsumas), clementines, wilkings and similar citrus hybrids and oranges from Turkey, which are not accompanied by an official certificate, but which were already subject to official controls at the border control post in accordance with Union legislation in force at the time. |
|
(32) |
Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/1793 should therefore be amended accordingly. |
|
(33) |
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. Article 14 is replaced by the following:
‘Article 14

COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) 2021/2248
of 16 December 2021
specifying the details of the electronic interface between national customs systems and the information and communication system for market surveillance, and the data to be transmitted by means of that interface
(Text with EEA relevance)
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Regulation (EU) 2019/1020 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 20 June 2019 on market surveillance and compliance of products and amending Directive 2004/42/EC and Regulations (EC) No 765/2008 and (EU) No 305/2011 (1), and in particular Article 34(8) thereof,
Whereas:
|
(1) |
Article 34(7) of Regulation (EU) 2019/1020 requires the Commission to develop an electronic interface (‘the interface’) to enable the transmission of data between national customs systems and the information and communication system referred to in Article 34(1) of that Regulation. That information and communication system is known as the Information and Communication System for Market Surveillance (‘ICSMS’). The interface is intended to facilitate communication between customs authorities and market surveillance authorities for the control of products entering the Union in accordance with Articles 25 to 28 of Regulation (EU) 2019/1020. Its use is to remain voluntary pursuant to Article 26(4) of that Regulation. |
|
(2) |
In order to facilitate the preparation of the electronic systems and the consistent exchange of information, it is necessary to lay down the standard datasets to be transmitted, in the prescribed form and manner, by means of the interface. Those datasets should reflect the requirements set out in Regulation (EU) 2019/1020 as regards the controls on products entering the Union market. They should nevertheless be flexible enough to allow Member States to deal with all relevant cases, using the data or data fields that are appropriate for each case. |
|
(3) |
To limit the administrative burden for customs authorities, the data transmitted from national customs systems to ICSMS should, whenever possible, be readily available from these systems. Nevertheless, verification of compliance of a product by the market surveillance authorities requires additional data elements to be entered in national customs systems. |
|
(4) |
Where Member States make use of the interface, they should be subject to specific procedural requirements in order to ensure the effective functioning of the electronic systems. |
|
(5) |
Where the application of this Regulation entails the processing of personal data, it should be carried out in accordance with Union law on the protection of personal data, in particular Regulation (EU) 2016/679 (2) and Regulation (EU) 2018/1725 (3) of the European Parliament and of the Council. This Regulation should lay down some specifications as regards the processing of personal data. These specifications should in the future be consistent with those laid down in the EU Single Window Environment for Customs, for which the Commission tabled a proposal on 28 October 2020 (4). The provisions of this Regulation on personal data protection may therefore be reviewed in light of the future legislative framework governing the EU Single Window Environment for Customs. |
|
(6) |
Data transmitted via the interface should be confidential and should not remain in the interface longer than necessary for its transmission. |
|
(7) |
In accordance with Article 34(7) of Regulation (EU) 2019/1020, the interface should be in place within four years from the date of adoption of this Regulation. Setting up electronic systems is a complex technical task requiring Member States and the Commission to invest both financially and in terms of time. The development process of the interface is expected to take four years. The date of application of this Regulation should therefore be deferred until the interface is available. |
|
(8) |
The European Data Protection Supervisor was consulted in accordance with Article 42(1) of Regulation (EU) 2018/1725 and delivered an opinion on 22 October 2021. |
|
(9) |
The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the committee established by Article 43 of Regulation (EU) 2019/1020, |

COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) 2021/2249
of 16 December 2021
amending Annex I to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2021/605 laying down special control measures for African swine fever
(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 71(3) thereof,
Whereas:
|
(1) |
African swine fever is an infectious viral disease affecting kept and wild porcine animals and can have a severe impact on the concerned animal population and the profitability of farming causing disturbance to movements of consignments of those animals and products thereof within the Union and exports to third countries. |
|
(2) |
Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2021/605 (2) was adopted within the framework of Regulation (EU) 2016/429, and it lays down special disease control measures regarding African swine fever to be applied for a limited period of time by the Member States listed in Annex I thereto (the Member States concerned), in restricted zones I, II and III listed in that Annex. |
|
(3) |
The areas listed as restricted zones I, II and III in Annex I to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2021/605 are based on the epidemiological situation of African swine fever in the Union. Annex I to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2021/605 was last amended by Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2021/2110 (3) following changes in the epidemiological situation as regards that disease in Germany and Poland. |
|
(4) |
Any amendments to restricted zones I, II and III in Annex I to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2021/605 should be based on the epidemiological situation as regards African swine fever in the areas affected by that disease and the overall epidemiological situation of African swine fever in the Member State concerned, the level of risk for the further spread of that disease, as well as scientifically based principles and criteria for geographically defining zoning due to African swine fever and the Union’s guidelines agreed with the Member States at the Standing Committee on Plants, Animals, Food and Feed and publicly available on Commission’s website (4). Such amendments should also take account of international standards, such as the Terrestrial Animal Health Code (5) of the World Organisation for Animal Health and justifications for zoning provided by the competent authorities of the Member States concerned. |
|
(5) |
Since the date of adoption of Implementing Regulation (EU) 2021/2110, there have been new outbreaks of African swine fever in kept and wild porcine animals in Poland and Slovakia, as well as new outbreaks in wild porcine animals in Germany and Latvia. In addition, the epidemiological situation in certain zones listed as restricted zones III in Latvia, Poland and Slovakia has improved as regard kept porcine animals, due to the disease control measures being applied by those Member States in accordance with Union legislation. |
|
(6) |
In November 2021, one outbreak of African swine fever in kept porcine animals was observed in the Świętokrzyskie region in Poland in an area currently listed as restricted zone I in Annex I to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2021/605. This new outbreak of African swine fever in kept porcine animals constitutes an increased level of risk, which should be reflected in that Annex. Accordingly, this area of Poland currently listed as restricted zone I in that Annex, affected by this recent outbreak of African swine fever, should now be listed as restricted zone III in that Annex instead of as restricted zone I thereof and the current boundaries of restricted zone I also need to be redefined to take account of this recent outbreak. |
|
(7) |
Also, in December 2021, one outbreak of African swine fever in a wild porcine animal was observed in the Zachodniopomorskie region in Poland in an area currently listed as restricted zone I in Annex I to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2021/605. This new outbreak of African swine fever in a wild porcine animal constitutes an increased level of risk, which should be reflected in that Annex. Accordingly, this area of Poland currently listed as restricted zone I in that Annex, affected by this recent outbreak of African swine fever, should now be listed as restricted zone II in that Annex instead of as restricted zone I thereof and the current boundaries of restricted zone I also need to be redefined to take account of this recent outbreak. |
|
(8) |
Further, in December 2021, several outbreaks of African swine fever in wild porcine animals were observed in the Mazowieckie region in Poland in an area currently listed as restricted zone I in Annex I to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2021/605. Those new outbreaks of African swine fever in wild porcine animals constitute an increased level of risk, which should be reflected in that Annex. Accordingly, this area of Poland currently listed as restricted zone I in that Annex, affected by those recent outbreaks of African swine fever, should now be listed as restricted zone II in that Annex instead of as restricted zone I thereof and the current boundaries of restricted zone I also need to be redefined to take account of those recent outbreaks. |
|
(9) |
In addition, in November and December 2021, several outbreaks of African swine fever in wild porcine animals were observed in the Podkarpackie and Dolnośląskie regions in Poland in areas currently listed as restricted zones II in Annex I to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2021/605, located in close proximity to areas currently listed as restricted zones I thereof. Those new outbreaks of African swine fever in wild porcine animals constitute an increased level of risk, which should be reflected in that Annex. Accordingly, those areas of Poland currently listed as restricted zones I in that Annex, that are in close proximity to the areas listed in restricted zones II affected by those recent outbreaks of African swine fever, should now be listed as restricted zones II in that Annex instead of as restricted zones I thereof. |
|
(10) |
Additionally, in November and December 2021, several outbreaks of African swine fever in wild porcine animals were observed in the Podkarpackie and Wielkopolskie regions in Poland in areas currently listed as restricted zones III in Annex I to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2021/605, located in close proximity to areas currently listed as restricted zones I thereof. Those new outbreaks of African swine fever in wild porcine animals constitute an increased level of risk, which should be reflected in that Annex. Accordingly, those areas of Poland currently listed as restricted zones I in that Annex, that are in close proximity to the areas listed in restricted zones III affected by those recent outbreaks of African swine fever, should now be listed as restricted zones II in that Annex instead of as restricted zones I thereof. |

Further, in November 2021, one outbreak of African swine fever in a wild porcine animal was observed in the Humenné district in Slovakia in an area currently listed as restricted zone II in Annex I to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2021/605, located in close proximity to an area currently listed as restricted zone I thereof. This new outbreak of African swine fever in a wild porcine animal constitutes an increased level of risk, which should be reflected in that Annex. Accordingly, this area of Slovakia currently listed as restricted zone I in that Annex, that is in close proximity to the zone listed in restricted zone II affected by this recent outbreak of African swine fever, should now be listed as restricted zone II in that Annex instead of as restricted zone I thereof. |
|
(12) |
Also, in December 2021, one outbreak of African swine fever in kept porcine animals was observed in the Nove Zamky district in Slovakia in an area currently not listed as a restricted zone in Annex I to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2021/605. This new outbreak of African swine fever in kept porcine animals constitutes an increased level of risk, which should be reflected in that Annex. Accordingly, this area of Slovakia currently not listed as a restricted zone in that Annex, affected by this recent outbreak of African swine fever, should now be listed as restricted zone III in that Annex and a new restricted zone I also needs to be defined to take account of this recent outbreak. |
|
(13) |
In addition, in December 2021, one outbreak of African swine fever in kept porcine animals was observed in the Rimavská Sobota district in Slovakia in an area currently listed as restricted zone II in Annex I to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2021/605. This new outbreak of African swine fever in kept porcine animals constitutes an increased level of risk, which should be reflected in that Annex. Accordingly, this area of Slovakia currently listed as restricted zone II in that Annex, affected by this recent outbreak of African swine fever, should now be listed as restricted zone III in that Annex instead of as restricted zone II thereof and the current boundaries of restricted zone II also need to be redefined to take account of this recent outbreak. |
|
(14) |
Additionally, in December 2021, one outbreak of African swine fever in a wild porcine animal was observed in the Dienvidkurzemes county in Latvia in an area currently listed as restricted zone I in Annex I to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2021/605. This new outbreak of African swine fever in a wild porcine animal constitutes an increased level of risk, which should be reflected in that Annex. Accordingly, this area of Latvia currently listed as restricted zone I in that Annex, affected by this recent outbreak of African swine fever, should now be listed as restricted zone II in that Annex instead of as restricted zone I thereof and the current boundaries of restricted zone I also need to be redefined to take account of this recent outbreak. |

Following those recent outbreaks of African swine fever in kept and wild porcine animals in Poland and Slovakia, as well as the outbreaks in wild porcine animals in Germany and Latvia and taking into account the current epidemiological situation as regards African swine fever in the Union, zoning in those Member States has been reassessed and updated. In addition, the risk management measures in place have also been reassessed and updated. These changes should be reflected in Annex I to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2021/605. |
|
(17) |
In addition, taking into account the effectiveness of the disease control measures for African swine fever for kept porcine animals in the restricted zone III listed in Annex I to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2021/605 being applied in Latvia in accordance with Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2020/687, and in particular those laid down in Articles 22, 25 and 40 thereof, and in line with the risk mitigation measures for African swine fever set out in the OIE Code, certain zones in the Ludzas county in Latvia, currently listed as restricted zones III in Annex I to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2021/605 should now be listed as restricted zones II in that Annex, due to the absence of African swine fever outbreaks in kept porcine animals in those restricted zones III for the past three months. The restricted zones III should now be listed as restricted zones II taking account of the current African swine fever epidemiological situation. |
|
(18) |
Also, taking into account the effectiveness of the disease control measures for African swine fever for kept porcine animals in the restricted zone III listed in Annex I to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2021/605 being applied in Slovakia in accordance with Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2020/687, and in particular those laid down in Articles 22, 25 and 40 thereof, and in line with the risk mitigation measures for African swine fever set out in the OIE Code, certain zones in the Brezno and Velký Krtíš districts in Slovakia, currently listed as restricted zones III in Annex I to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2021/605 should now be listed as restricted zones II in that Annex, due to the absence of African swine fever outbreaks in kept porcine animals in those restricted zones III for the past three months.

Finally, taking into account the effectiveness of the disease control measures for African swine fever for kept porcine animals in the restricted zone III listed in Annex I to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2021/605 being applied in Poland in accordance with Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2020/687, and in particular those laid down in Articles 22, 25 and 40 thereof, and in line with the risk mitigation measures for African swine fever set out in the OIE Code, certain zones in the Łódzkie, Opolskie and Wielkopolskie regions in Poland, currently listed as restricted zones III in Annex I to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2021/605 should now be listed as restricted zones I in that Annex, due to the absence of African swine fever outbreaks in kept and wild porcine animals in those restricted zones III for the past three months. The restricted zones III should now be listed as restricted zones I taking account of the current African swine fever epidemiological situation. |
|
(21) |
In order to take account of the recent developments in the epidemiological situation of African swine fever in the Union, and in order to combat the risks associated with the spread of that disease in a proactive manner, new restricted zones of a sufficient size should be demarcated for Germany, Latvia, Poland and Slovakia and duly listed as restricted zones I, II and III in Annex I to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2021/605. As the situation as regards African swine fever is very dynamic in the Union, when demarcating those new restricted zones, account has been taken of the situation in the surrounding areas. |
|
(22) |
Given the urgency of the epidemiological situation in the Union as regards the spread of African swine fever, it is important that the amendments to be made to Annex I to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2021/605 by this Implementing Regulation take effect as soon as possible. |
