As previously announced, this Regulation consolidates in one single act the measures on increased official controls laid down in Commission Regulation (EC) No 669/2009 and the emergency measures for food and feed laid down in Commission Regulations (EU) No 884/2014, (EU) No 2015/175, (EU) No 2017/186 and (EU) 2018/1660.
 
The draft Regulation lays down the list (Annex I) of food and feed of non-animal origin from certain third countries subject to a temporary increase of official controls at their entry into the Union (Regulation 669/2009).
 
Annex II lays down special import conditions (emergency measures) for the entry of food and feed of non-animal origin from certain third countries (Regulations 2015/175, 2017/186, 2018/1660, and 884/2014). Each consignment of food and feed listed in Annex II must be accompanied by the results of sampling and analyses, and by an official certificate issued by the competent authority of the third country of origin or of the third country where the consignment is consigned from if that country is different from the country of origin. A new single model official certificate is established.
 
The Commission must review the lists set out in Annexes I and II on a regular basis not exceeding a period of six months.
 
It shall enter into force on October 18, 2019, and shall apply from December 14, 2019.
 
Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/1793 of 22 October 2019
