Summary

The three draft Regulations lay down import conditions, mainly for products of animal origin intended for human consumption. They replace the current import conditions of Regulation (EC) No 854/2004 which will be repealed.

The draft Delegated Regulation indicates for  which food listing of  the country of  origin, listing  of  the  establishment  and/or  certification  is  required  for  entry  into  the  European Union. It also sets the conditions for such listings.
The  draft  Implementing  Regulation  (EU)  establishing  lists  of  third  countries  or  regions thereof  authorised  for  the  entry  into  the  European  Union  of  certain  animals  and  goods intended for human consumption and amending Implementing Regulation (EU) 2016/759 as regards these lists lays down the list of countries authorised to enter specific food into the European Union. 

The  draft  Commission  Implementing  Regulation  (EU)  laying  down  model  official certificates  for  certain  animals  and  goods  in  accordance  with  Article  90  of  Regulation (EU) 2017/625  of  the  European  Parliament  and  of  the  Council  and  amending Implementing  Regulation  (EU)  2016/759  as  regards  model  certificates  lays  down  the model health certificates to be used to enter specific food into the European Union.
The  draft  Regulations  intend  to  provide  continuity  of  the  current  import  conditions  in Regulation (EC) No 854/2004 but extend the list of food of animal origin subject to these harmonised EU import conditions with insects, reptile meat and composite products.
The three texts are notified together because they are linked to each other and references are made to all texts.
