EXPLANATORY NOTE

(This note is not part of the Regulations)

These Regulations amend, in relation to Wales, 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 (EUR 2019/1793).

Regulation 2 makes provision to update the lists of high-risk food and feed of non-animal origin in Annexes 1 and 2 to EUR 2019/1793. Regulation 2(5) and (6), and Schedules 1 and 2, substitute those Annexes. The substitution of Annex 1 is made using powers in Articles 47(2)(b) and 54(4)(a) of Regulation (EU 2017/625 of the European Parliament and of the Council on official controls and other official activities performed to ensure the application of food and feed law, rules on animal health and welfare, plant health and plant protection products (EUR 2017/625). The substitution of Annex 2 is made using powers in Article 53 of Regulation (EC) No 178/2002 of the European Parliament and of the Council laying down the general principles and requirements of food law, establishing the European Food Safety Authority and laying down procedures in matters of food safety (EUR 2002/178) and Article 54(4)(b) of EUR 2017/625.

In addition to the updated lists in Annexes 1 and 2, amendments are made to the terminology and presentation of the codes used to identify the food and feed subject to controls. The codes, currently presented as a up to 8-digit Combined Nomenclature followed by a separate 2-digit TARIC sub-division, are now presented as a single up to 10-digit code; renamed commodity code to align with the United Kingdom’s Integrated Tariff system. The lists are corrected by the “ex” marking being removed from certain commodities, which as a result of adopting the United Kingdom’s Integrated Tariff system post EU-Exit, is no longer required. The Annexes are now updated to align the presentation of the commodity codes with the United Kingdom’s Integrated Tariff system.

Regulation 3 makes consequential amendments to the Official Controls (Import of High-Risk Food and Feed of Non-Animal Origin) (Amendment of Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/1793) (No. 2) (Wales) Regulations 2024 (S.I. 2024/1214 (W. 198)), to remove earlier amendments to EUR 2019/1793 that are superseded by the amendments made by these Regulations.

Annex 1 to EUR 2019/1793 contains the list of food and feed of non-animal origin that is subject to a temporary increase in official controls at border control posts or at control points in Great Britain. The changes being made to Annex 1 are as follows:

  • CN Codes and TARIC sub-division classifications are presented as a single commodity code of up to 10-digits.

  • Removal of “ex” references from various commodities.

  • Removal of footnotes from existing entries where the pesticide is no longer a substance of concern for the commodity.

  • Addition of footnotes to existing entries where new pesticides have been identified as substances of concern for the commodity.

  • New entry for papaws (papayas) from Brazil (for pesticide residues). The frequency of checks is prescribed at 10%.

  • The entry for sweet peppers from China (for Salmonella) has been removed.

  • The frequency of checks on aubergines from Dominican Republic (for pesticide residues) is increased to 50% (from 20%).

  • The entry for drumsticks from India (for pesticide residues) has been removed. The entry is transferred into Annex 2, Table 1, with a frequency of checks of 20%.

  • The entry for ginger, saffron, turmeric, thyme, bay leaves, curry and other spices from India (for pesticide residues) has been removed. The entry is transferred into Annex 2, Table 1, with a frequency of checks of 20%.

  • The frequency of checks on nutmeg, mace and cardamoms from India (for pesticide residues) is increased to 50% (from 10%).
