COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) …/... amending Annex III to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2020/2235 and Annex II to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2021/403 as regards model certificates for the entry into the Union of consignments of certain products of animal origin and certain categories of animals |
| Summary |
Article 118 (1) of Regulation (EU) 2019/6 requires third country operators exporting animals or products of animal origin to the European Union to respect the prohibition on the use of antimicrobial medicinal products for the purpose of promoting growth or to increase yield, and on the use of antimicrobials that have been reserved for the treatment of certain infections in humans.
Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2023/905 supplements Regulation (EU) 2019/6 as regards the conditions for the entry into the Union of consignments of food-producing animals and products derived therefrom intended for human consumption from third countries or regions thereof.
Article 4 (1)(b) of Delegated Regulation (EU) 2023/905 establishes that consignments of animals or products concerned entering the Union from third countries shall be accompanied by an official certificate attesting compliance with the Union's prohibition on the use of antimicrobial medicinal products.
This draft Implementing Regulation amends the model certificates for the export to the Union of food-producing animals and products derived therefrom intended for human consumption to include the relevant attestations of compliance with the provisions set by Regulation (EU) 2019/6.
