Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 1355/2013of 17 December 2013amending Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 669/2009 implementing Regulation (EC) No 882/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council as regards the increased level of official controls on imports of certain feed and food of non-animal origin(Text with EEA relevance) THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 882/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 29 April 2004 on official controls performed to ensure the verification of compliance with feed and food law, animal health and animal welfare rulesOJ L 165, 30.4.2004, p. 1., and in particular Article 15(5) thereof,Whereas:(1)Commission Regulation (EC) No 669/2009Commission Regulation (EC) No 669/2009 of 24 July 2009 implementing Regulation (EC) No 882/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council as regards the increased level of official controls on imports of certain feed and food of non-animal origin and amending Decision 2006/504/EC (OJ L 194, 25.7.2009, p. 11). lays down rules concerning the increased level of official controls to be carried out on imports of feed and food of non-animal origin listed in Annex I thereto ("the list"), at the points of entry into the territories referred to in Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 882/2004.(2)Article 2 of Regulation (EC) No 669/2009 provides that the list is to be reviewed on a regular basis, and at least quarterly, taking into account at least the sources of information referred to in that Article.(3)The occurrence and relevance of food incidents notified through the Rapid Alert System for Food and Feed, the findings of missions to third countries carried out by the Food and Veterinary Office, as well as the quarterly reports on consignments of feed and food of non-animal origin submitted by Member States to the Commission in accordance with Article 15 of Regulation (EC) No 669/2009 indicate that the list should be amended.(4)In particular, the list should be amended by deleting the entries for commodities for which the available information indicates an overall satisfactory degree of compliance with the relevant safety requirements provided for in Union legislation and for which an increased level of official controls is therefore no longer justified. The entries in the list concerning hazelnuts from Azerbaijan, mace, ginger and curcuma from India, mace from Indonesia and brassica vegetables from Thailand should therefore be deleted.(5)In order to ensure consistency and clarity, it is appropriate to replace Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 669/2009 by the text set out in the Annex to this Regulation.(6)Regulation (EC) No 669/2009 should therefore be amended accordingly.(7)The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 669/2009 is replaced by the text set out in the Annex to this Regulation.
Article 2This Regulation shall enter into force on the third day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.It shall apply from 1 January 2014.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.Done at Brussels, 17 December 2013.For the CommissionThe PresidentJosé Manuel BarrosoANNEX"ANNEX I
