Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2021/630 of 16 February 2021 supplementing Regulation (EU) 2017/625 of the European Parliament and of the Council as regards certain categories of goods exempted from official controls at border control posts and amending Commission Decision 2007/275/EC |
Summary |
Regulation (EU) 2017/625 of the European Parliament and of the Council on Official Controls ('Official Controls Regulation') establishes the framework for official controls and other official activities to verify the correct application of Union agri-food chain legislation. This includes official controls performed on animals and goods entering the Union from third countries. Article 48(h) of the Official Controls Regulation provides that certain categories of animals and goods referred to in Article 47(1) of the same Regulation coming from third countries may be exempted from official controls at border control posts. According to Article 77(1)(k) of the Official Controls Regulation, arrangements for specific official controls may be laid down in delegated acts for those animals and goods exempted from official controls at border control posts.
The purpose of this Regulation is to lay down cases and conditions under which certain lower risk shelf-stable composite products not containing processed meat are exempted from official controls at border control posts. EU member states' competent authorities should perform official controls on such composite products regularly, on a risk basis and with appropriate frequency, at the place of destination, the point of release for free circulation in the Union, or the warehouses or the premises of the operator responsible for the consignment.
The Regulation establishes a new list of certain shelf-stable composite products not containing processed meat exempted from official controls at border control posts and lays down rules concerning official controls on those products.
