Products of animal origin, germinal products, animal by-products and composite products

Commission Implementing Regulation on the procedures at border control posts for a coordinated performance by competent authorities of intensified official controls on products of animal origin, germinal products, animal by-products and composite products (Text with EEA relevance). Language(s): English. Number of pages: 6

It follows from Regulation (EU) 2017/625 that in case of suspected fraud by an operator, or in the case of serious or repeated infringements of the rules referred to in Article 1(2) of that Regulation, official controls on consignments with the same use or origin should be intensified by the competent authorities at the border control posts. The competent authorities' decision to perform such intensified controls is to be notified to the Commission and the Member States. In order to ensure a harmonised approach, this Implementing Regulation establishes detailed procedures for the coordinated performance of those controls, including rules on the role of the IMSOC in this respect.
