Explanatory Note
(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations amend Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/1793 on the temporary increase of official controls and emergency measures governing the entry into the Union of certain goods from certain third countries implementing Regulations (EU) 2017/625 and (EC) No 178/2002 of the European Parliament and of the Council and repealing Commission Regulations (EC) No 669/2009, (EU) No 884/2014, (EU) 2015/175, (EU) 2017/186 and (EU) 2018/1660, in relation to England (“EUR 2019/1793”).
Regulation 2(2) and (4) make consequential amendments to EUR 2019/1793 following the deletion by these Regulations of the entry for guar gum in Annex 2.
Regulation 2(3) amends EUR 2019/1793 to make provision in relation to the sampling and analysis for the hazard pentachlorophenol and dioxins in guar gum listed in Annex 1.
Regulation 2(5) substitutes Annex 1 with the Annex in Schedule 1, which contains the updated list of food and feed of non-animal origin from certain third countries, which is subject to a temporary increase in official controls at border control posts in Great Britain.
Regulation 2(6) substitutes Annex 2 with the Annex in Schedule 2. Annex 2 contains two tables. Table 1 contains the updated list of food and feed of non-animal origin from certain third countries subject to special conditions for entry into Great Britain due to contamination risks from the specified hazards. Table 2 contains the list of compound food containing any of the food listed in Table 1 of Annex 2 due to the risk of contamination by aflatoxins in a quantity above 20% of either a single product or as the sum of those products. Table 2 is restated with no changes.
In each Schedule, standards are specified within some footnotes to show requirements for the analytical methods and laboratories used. The documents referred to have been published online and the online addresses are specified under each footnote where relevant.
