Title Draft Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) on uniform practical arrangements for the performance of official controls as regards contaminants in food, on specific additional content of multi-annual national control plans and specific additional arrangements for their preparation
Summary

Official controls must be performed by the competent authorities regularly, on a risk basis and with appropriate frequency. Therefore, this implementing act sets out the general requirements of content of the national control plans for contaminants, while leaving the risk-based design up to the Member States in line with the general approach of Regulation (EU) 2017/625. These plans substitute the control plans according to repealed Council Directive 96/23/EC. This Regulation is interlinked with the Commission Delegated Regulation which sets out specific requirements such as sampling frequency, range of samples and stage of production, processing and distribution where the samples are to be taken and criteria to be taken into account for the design of the control plans
