Products of animal origin intended for human consumption

Draft Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) supplementing Regulation (EU) 2017/625 of the European Parliament and of the Council with regard to conditions to be respected by consignments of certain animals and goods intended for human consumption entering the Union (Text with EEA relevance); Draft Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) establishing lists of third countries or regions thereof authorised for the entry into the European Union of certain animals and goods intended for human consumption and amending Implementing Regulation (EU) 2016/759 as regards these lists (Text with EEA relevance) with Annexes; Draft Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) laying down model official certificates for certain animals and goods in accordance with Article 90 of Regulation (EU) 2017/625 of the European Parliament and of the Council and amending Implementing Regulation (EU) 2016/759 as regards model certificates (Text with EEA relevance) with Annexes. Language(s): English

The three draft Regulations lay down import conditions, mainly for products of animal origin intended for human consumption. They replace the current import conditions of Regulation (EC) No 854/2004 which will be repealed.

The draft Delegated Regulation indicates for which food listing of the country of origin, listing of the establishment and/or certification is required for entry into the European Union. It also sets the conditions for such listings.

The draft Implementing Regulation (EU) establishing lists of third countries or regions thereof authorised for the entry into the European Union of certain animals and goods intended for human consumption and amending Implementing Regulation (EU) 2016/759 as regards these lists lays down the list of countries authorised to enter specific food into the European Union.

The draft Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) laying down model official certificates for certain animals and goods in accordance with Article 90 of Regulation (EU) 2017/625 of the European Parliament and of the Council and amending Implementing Regulation (EU) 2016/759 as regards model certificates lays down the model health certificates to be used to enter specific food into the European Union.

The draft Regulations intend to provide continuity of the current import conditions in Regulation (EC) No 854/2004 but extend the list of food of animal origin subject to these harmonised EU import conditions with insects, reptile meat and composite products. The three texts are notified together because they are linked to each other and references are made to all texts.
