Description of content: Regulation (EU) 2019/1793 lays down rules concerning 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 Regulation and special import conditions for certain food and feed from certain third countries due to the risk of contamination by aflatoxins, pesticide residues, pentachlorophenol and dioxins and microbiological contamination, listed in Annex II to that Regulation (e.g. increased official controls and official certificate accompanied by the results of sampling and analysis in the third country). This Implementing Regulation amends AnnexesI and II to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/1793 by introducing the following changes:
In addition, this Implementing Regulation incorporates the provisions of Implementing Decision 2014/88/EU and Implementing Regulation (EU) 2015/94 on the suspension of imports of foodstuffs containing or consisting of betel leaves originating in or consigned from Bangladesh and of dried beans originating from Nigeria, respectively. As a result of this consolidation, Implementing Decision 2014/88/EU and Implementing Regulation (EU) 2015/94 are repealed and Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/1793 no longer provide for an end of the period of validity of the said measures. |
