summary
The objective of ensuring a high level of health for humans, animals, and plants is enshrined in the Treaties underpinning the EU. Over the years, the EU has built up a comprehensive body of law designed to prevent and manage risks to animal and plant health and the safety of the food chain at EU and national level. The law in these policy areas is enforced by means of a common set of rules on official controls to be carried out by the competent authorities in the EU Member States. To date, overall, the legal framework which the EU has developed has proven to be effective in preventing and countering risks. However, the modern global market increasingly exposes the EU to new risks and constantly calls for innovation and competitiveness. This, and the experience gained with EU law in this area, point to the need to simplify and update available instruments and to further integrate the approach across the different areas. The Commission has conducted a revision of the current legal framework for animal health, plant health, plant reproductive material and official controls aimed mainly at increasing effectiveness, consistency and legal clarity in those areas. This Communication presents the resulting four legislative proposals in the four areas of animal health, plant health, plant reproductive material and official controls (the ‘review package’) and explains, for each of them, the current context, the rationale behind the package and the main improvements introduced. The package also includes a fifth proposal establishing a multiannual programme for EU financing of actions aimed at ensuring a high level of health for humans, animals and plants along the agri-food chain and in related areas while allowing businesses to operate in an environment that favours competitiveness and job creation. A high level of health along the agri-food chain depends on consistent, effective and timely enforcement of EU standards by the Member States. The correct application of agri-food chain rules and of the rules on animal health and animal welfare, on plant health, on plant reproductive material and on plant protection products must be ensured across the EU for humans, plants and animals to be healthier and for the internal market to thrive and work smoothly. For this to be possible, the relevant authorities in the Member States must be given a clear, reliable and consistent legal environment in which to make effective and efficient use of enforcement tools, and of official controls in particular. They also need appropriate resources to ensure continuity and consistency in their work, on the basis of needs linked to enforcement objectives. Current EU legislation on official controls: official controls are governed by Regulation (EC) No 882/2004. A series of shortcomings have been identified which call for the following improvements to be made: the simplification of the overall legal framework, which currently suffers from the remaining fragmentation, overlaps and gaps, and therefore differences in interpretation and implementation at national level; more consistent use of the ‘risk-based controls’ principle; more systematic and consistent use of administrative cooperation tools and of computerised information systems; the repeal of unnecessary administrative requirements. As regards the financing of official controls and the need to ensure steady and consistent funding of the work of the competent authorities, the evidence also points to current uncertainties about the long-term sustainability of official controls. There is also evidence that the current rules are failing to ensure a fair and consistent approach across sectors: only some sectors are charged, and fees are not calculated in a uniform and transparent manner across Member States, or in a manner that rewards operators’ compliance. The Regulation on Official Controls: this proposal to amend the general framework for official controls laid down in Regulation (EC) No 882/2004 incorporates the outcome of a number of evaluations which have dealt with the different aspects of that framework. A major novelty is the broadening of the scope of the rules on official controls, and in particular, their extension to relevant controls on plant health, plant reproductive materials and animal by-products. The current detailed set of rules applicable to official controls on residues of veterinary medicines will be repealed to allow this area to be regulated in a more risk-based, but still health-protective way, under the same legislative framework. Impact on imports: this revision will have a significant impact on the legal framework governing official controls on products from non-EU countries. It provides a set of common rules for all control activities to be performed at EU borders on animals and goods from non-EU countries which require increased attention for health reasons. More effective enforcement mechanisms: the toolkit offered to national enforcers is made simpler and more effective: each Member State will be asked to designate a single authority responsible for coordinating preparation and ensuring the coherence of a multi-annual control plan and to act as a contact point for the Commission and other Member States in relation to official controls; electronic handling and processing of the Common Entry Health Document (CHED) for all animals and goods, subject to controls at the border, will be introduced; while the requirement for all official laboratories to be accredited against ISO standard 17025 is reaffirmed, transitional measures and temporary or permanent derogations are provided for, as appropriate. Financing of official controls: the proposal builds on the current system of mandatory fees (at present only charged to certain operators and/or for certain controls). It strengthens the principle according to which competent authorities should be able to charge businesses in order to recover the costs they incur in carrying out their official control duties along the agri-food chain and in certain related areas (e.g. veterinary and phytosanitary controls, controls on plant reproductive material).

summary
PURPOSE: to lay down a harmonised approach governing the performance of official controls to ensure the uniform application of the agri-food chain rules across the EU. PROPOSED ACT: Regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council. ROLE OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT: the European Parliament decides in accordance with the ordinary legislative procedure and on an equal footing with the Council. BACKGROUND: in order to afford European Union (EU) citizens a high level of human, animal and plant health, and guarantee the functioning of the internal market, Union legislation provides for a set of harmonised rules to prevent, eliminate or reduce the level of health risk to humans, animals and plants, which may arise along the 'agri-food chain’. To ensure that this extensive set of rules is enforced by the Member States (MS) across the EU in a harmonised manner, a legislative framework for the organisation of official controls has been established through Regulation (EC) No 882/2004. Based on an extensive review of the provisions of the Regulation, the Commission proposes revising the legislation on official controls to overcome shortcomings identified in its wording and in its application. The aim is to simplify and clarify the system and to establish a single framework applicable to all official controls along the entire food chain. The proposal replaces and repeals Regulation (EC) No 882/2004 and a number of sectoral acts and provisions which will be made redundant by its adoption. It is part of a comprehensive package that also includes three major reviews to modernise the animal health, plant health and plant reproductive material acquis. IMPACT ASSESSMENT: the retained option was that which involves: (i) streamlining the legislative framework; (ii) integrating within the Regulation’s scope plant health, plant reproductive material (PRM) and animal by-products (ABP); and (iii) extending mandatory fees to cover all controls performed. LEGAL BASIS: Articles 43(2), 114 and 168(4)(b) of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (TFEU). CONTENT: the proposal aims to modernise and sharpen enforcement tools, and in particular official controls, as laid down in the existing Regulation, to simplify the legislative framework. It lays down harmonised rules at EU level aimed at providing a comprehensive and coherent approach to official controls along the entire agri-food chain. Scope: it is proposed to integrate the rules currently applicable to official controls in specific areas currently governed by separate sets of rules (e.g. controls on residues of veterinary medicinal products in live animals and animal products, and plant health controls) into the framework of a single Regulation. Lightening administrative burdens: the proposal makes changes in a number of situations where it is possible to alleviate the burden of organising and implementing official controls by eliminating redundant requirements (e.g. separate reporting from official controls on residues of veterinary medicinal products) or allowing a proportionate and flexible approach to some specific situations (e.g. not requiring full accreditation of official laboratories in case of emergencies). Sampling: requirements on methods of sampling and of laboratory analysis, testing and diagnosis will become applicable to official controls and to other official activities in all the sectors covered by the Regulation (e.g. to surveillance, monitoring and survey activities in the plant health and animal health sectors). A 5 years transitional period will thus be foreseen for the plant health and plant propagating material sectors. The rules for the choice of the method to be used by the official laboratory will be clarified and extended so as to require that methods meet state-of-the-art scientific standards. Official controls on animals and goods entering the Union: as far as imports are concerned, it is essential that all foodstuffs available on the EU market are safe. The proposal includes therefore a set of common and comprehensive rules applicable to controls performed on animals and goods from third countries. Border Control Posts (BCPs) will replace the different entities currently tasked with border control duties. A Common Health Entry Document (CHED) will be used (i) by operators for the mandatory prior notification of arrival of consignments of animals and goods and (ii) by competent authorities to record controls on such consignments and any decisions taken. Financing of official controls: Member States will be required to ensure that adequate financial resources are available to provide the staff and other resources necessary to the competent authorities to perform official controls and the other activities referred to in the Regulation. The proposal maintains the system of mandatory fees and extends it to most official controls. Micro-enterprises will be exempted from the payment of such fees. Administrative assistance and cooperation: the administrative assistance and cooperation provisions of the Regulation will be reinforced and clarified so as to increase their usability and effectiveness as a tool for tackling cross-border non-compliances. The proposal envisages the creation of an integrated information management system for official controls, which will allow the integrated operation and updating of all existing and future computerised systems through which information, data and documents regarding official controls are exchanged among competent authorities, and with the Commission. BUDGETARY IMPLICATIONS: the proposal does not imply incurring any expenditure which is not already foreseen in the financial statement of the common financial framework. No additional human resources are envisaged either. DELEGATED ACTS: the proposal includes provisions empowering the Commission to adopt delegated acts in accordance with Article 290 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union.

Amendment 89 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 54 (54) Member States should be required to ensure that adequate financial resources are always available in order to appropriately staff and equip the competent authorities performing official controls and other official activities. Although operators are primarily responsible for ensuring that their activities are carried out in compliance with Union agri-food chain rules, the system of own controls that they put in place for that purpose needs to be complemented by a dedicated system of official controls maintained by each Member State to ensure effective market surveillance along the agri-food chain. Such a system is, by its very nature, complex and resource demanding and should be provided with a stable influx of resources for official controls, at a level appropriate to the enforcement needs at any given moment. To reduce the dependency of the official control system from public finances, competent authorities should collect fees to cover the costs they incur when performing official controls on certain operators and for certain activities for which Union agri-food chain legislation requires registration or approval in accordance with Union rules on the hygiene of food and feed or rules governing plant health and plant reproductive material. Member States shall however retain the option not to apply such fees to food business operators solely providing local services, such as restaurants, local bakeries, local retailers, etc. Fees should also be collected from operators to compensate the costs of official controls performed in view of issuing an official certificate or attestation, and costs of official controls performed by the competent authorities at border control posts.

Amendment 92 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 61 (61) For the performance of official controls and other official activities on the production and marketing of plant reproductive material, and in the field of animal welfare, the competent authorities should have access to updated, reliable and consistent technical data, to research findings, new techniques and expertise necessary for the correct application of Union legislation applicable in those areas. For that purpose the Commission should be able to designate, and rely on the expert assistance of, European Union reference centres for plant reproductive material and for animal welfare. The structure of the reference centres for animal welfare should be based on experience gained from the EUWelNet (Coordinated European Animal Welfare Network) pilot project.
