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.

Regulation 2(2), (3), (6) and Schedule 3 make provisions in relation to the sampling and analyses of food and feed of non-animal origin for the hazard Listeria. Schedule 3 sets out a new Annex outlining the sampling procedure and analytical reference method for the control of the presence of Listeria in food.

Regulation 2(4) substitutes Annex I with Schedule 1, which contains the 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(5) substitutes Table 1 in Annex II, with Schedule 2. This substitutes the respective table containing the lists 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.

Regulation 3 makes consequential amendments to the Official Controls (Imports of High Risk Food and Feed of Non-Animal Origin) (Amendment of Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/1793) (England) Regulations 2022.

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. Hard copies of these documents are available for inspection at the Food Standards Agency, Floors 6 and 7, Clive House, 70 Petty France, London SW1H 9EX, at reasonable times, following a written request to that address or to imported.food@food.gov.uk.
