summary
The European Parliament adopted by 565 votes to 51 with 29 abstentions, a legislative resolution on the proposal for a regulation 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, plant reproductive material, plant protection products (Official Controls Regulation). Parliament’s position in first reading following the ordinary legislative procedure amended the Commission proposal as follows: Purpose and scope: Parliament stated that the Regulation should apply to the official controls performed for the verification of compliance with rules governing food, food safety, food quality and food wholesomeness, rules governing the deliberate release into the environment of GMOs, as well as rules aimed at guaranteeing fair practices in trade and protecting consumer health, interests and information. 'Official control' was defined as means any form of control, including controls of requirements for animals and goods from third countries intended for export to third countries. The text should also apply to rules: (i) aiming at preventing and minimising antimicrobial resistance in animals and humans, as well as in the environment; (ii) laying down requirements on monitoring certain substances and residues thereof in live animals and animal products; (iii) on protected designations of origin and protected geographical indications for wine. On the other hand, it should not apply to manufacture of veterinary medicine. Official controls must verify that the procedures applicable to organic products have been respected. Competent authorities: competent authorities should be responsible not just for organising official controls but also for carrying them out, as well as carrying out other official activities, such as issuing certificates and attestations, appointing laboratories, exchanging information in the interest of cooperation between authorities, and taking decisions on measures to remedy breaches of the Regulation. The official certification or attestation procedure should remain a matter solely for the official authority. Where there was a suspicion of risk to human or animal health or of other serious breaches of food law, the competent authorities should take suitable steps to inform the public. Independence: the competent authorities should have arrangements in place to ensure the impartiality, independence, quality, consistency and unity of purposes of official controls and other official activities at all levels; they should be in no way connected to or dependent of the operators that they control. Staff performing official controls should be free from conflict of interests and not directly nor indirectly employed by the operator on which it is performing control activities. The independence of the delegating authority in relation to operators has been strengthened in the text. Official auxiliaries: this meant a person qualified to act in such a capacity, appointed by the competent authority and working under the authority and responsibility of an official veterinarian. The competent authority may appoint as official auxiliaries only persons who have undergone training and passed a test in accordance with the requirements set out in a new Annex IIIa of the regulation. General rules applicable to official controls: competent authorities must perform official controls on all undertakings regularly, on a risk basis and with appropriate frequency, taking account of: · the use of products, processes, materials, feed additives or substances that may influence food safety and wholesomeness, feed safety, animal health or animal welfare; · the potential for consumers to be misled as to the nature, quality or substance of a product and/or the potential for consumers to incur financial loss as a result of receiving misleading information from the operator. The following should also be taken into account: i) consumer expectations regarding nature, quality and composition of foods and goods; ii) private quality assurance schemes put in place by operators, which are certified and audited by independent and recognised certification bodies. To increase the effectiveness of the controls, Member States should require that any animals or goods from other Member States be reported. The Commission will be empowered to adopt delegated acts in order to establish a uniform minimum frequency for carrying out the controls Reducing the administrative burden: Members stated that any additional inconvenience to operators occasioned by controls should be kept to a minimum. In order to reduce the administrative burdens on operators, where possible, the competent authorities should take a coordinated approach to controls. Furthermore, it was enough that the outcome of official controls performed at a border control post be recorded in the Common Health Entry Document. Products of animal origin intended for human consumption: Parliament wanted official controls should relate to the following, (a) the design and maintenance of premises and equipment; (b) personal hygiene; (c) HACCP-based procedures (d) own-controls procedures; (e) verification of compliance by the staff with applicable requirements; (f) verification of the operator’s records and of documents accompanying food, feed and any substance or material entering and leaving the establishment; (g) consideration of any evidence of the presence of fraudulent practices. At least one official veterinarian should be present during both the ante-mortem and post-mortem inspection. Similarly, an official veterinarian or an official auxiliary should be present, with a frequency appropriate to achieving the objectives of this Regulation, in cutting plants when meat is being worked on. Official controls in relation to animals should include: (i) the verification of measures for protection against biological and chemical hazards to human and animal health; (ii) the verification of animal welfare measures; (iii) the verification of disease control or eradication measures. In case of long journeys between Member States and with third countries, official controls should be performed at any stage of the long journey on a random or targeted basis to verify that declared journey times were realistic. As regards products of animal origin, Parliament stated that methods have to be developed and mandatorily established aimed at identifying and tracing breeding material from cloned animals as well as descendants from cloned animals and products derived thereof. Fees: in order to ensure that adequate financial resources were available to provide the staff and other resources necessary for the competent authorities to perform official controls and other official activities. Member States must collect fees or contributions to the costs or make resources available from general tax revenue. The costs of training control staff should be excluded from the calculation of fees or contributions to costs, as should the cost of facilities and equipment, including maintenance and insurance costs. Moreover, the fees or contributions to costs collected by the competent authority should fully cover the costs of the controls. Parliament proposed that SMEs that fulfil certain objective and non-discriminatory criteria may be exempted from the payment of fees or cost contributions European reference centres: in order, to limit the number of new cases of food fraud as much as possible, Parliament proposed that the Commission should, through implementing acts, establish European reference centres for the authenticity and integrity of the agri-food chain. These centres should possess a high level of scientific and technical expertise. The tasks and responsibilities of the centres were set out in the report. Support for developing countries: with a view to ensuring that developing countries can comply with the provisions of the Regulation, measures may be take, to support the following activities: (i) compliance with the conditions governing the entry into the Union of animals and goods; (ii) drafting of guidelines on the organisation of official controls on products to be exported to the Union; (iii) sending of European Union or Member State experts to developing countries to assist with the organisation of official controls. Reporting of breaches: Parliament suggested that competent authorities put in place effective and reliable mechanisms to encourage reporting of potential or actual breaches of the Regulation and of national provisions related to the Regulation to competent authorities.

summary
The Committee on the Environment, Public Health and Food Safety adopted the report by Mario PIRILLO (EPP, IT) on the proposal for a regulation 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, plant reproductive material, plant protection products. The Committee on Agriculture and Rural Development, exercising its prerogatives as an associated committee in accordance with Rule 50 of the Rules of Procedure, was also consulted for an opinion on the report. The committee recommended that Parliament’s position in first reading following the ordinary legislative procedure should amend the Commission proposal as follows: Purpose and scope: it was stipulated that the Regulation should apply to the official controls performed for the verification of compliance with rules governing food, food safety, food quality and food wholesomeness, rules governing the deliberate release into the environment of GMOs, as well as rules aimed at guaranteeing fair practices in trade and protecting consumer health, interests and information. The text should also apply to rules: (i) aiming at preventing and minimising antimicrobial resistance in animals and humans, as well as in the environment; (ii) laying down requirements on monitoring certain substances and residues thereof in live animals and animal products. However, the Regulation shall apply to official controls on protected designations of origin and protected geographical indications for wine. On the other hand, it should not apply to manufacture of veterinary medicine. Official controls must verify that the procedures applicable to organic products have been respected. Competent authorities: competent authorities should be responsible not just for organising official controls but also for carrying them out, as well as carrying out other official activities, such as issuing certificates and attestations, appointing laboratories, exchanging information in the interest of cooperation between authorities, and taking decisions on measures to remedy breaches of the Regulation. The official certification or attestation procedure should remain a matter solely for the official authority. Independence: the competent authorities shall have arrangements in place to ensure the impartiality, independence, quality, consistency and unity of purposes of official controls and other official activities at all levels; they should be in no way connected to or dependent of the operators that they control. Staff performing official controls and other official activities shall be officials employed by the competent authorities or by an independent public body delegated by the competent authority to perform official controls or other official activities who are free from conflict of interests and not directly nor indirectly employed by the operator on which it is performing control activities. The independence of the delegating authority in relation to operators has been strengthened in the text. Official auxiliaries: this means a person qualified to act in such a capacity, appointed by the competent authority and working under the authority and responsibility of an official veterinarian. The competent authority may appoint as official auxiliaries only persons who have undergone training and passed a test in accordance with the requirements set out in a new Annex IIIa of the regulation. General rules applicable to official controls: competent authorities shall perform official controls on all undertakings regularly, on a risk basis and with appropriate frequency, taking account of: · the use of products, processes, materials, feed additives or substances that may influence food safety and wholesomeness, feed safety, animal health or animal welfare; · the potential for consumers to be misled as to the nature, quality or substance of a product and/or the potential for consumers to incur financial loss as a result of receiving misleading information from the operator. The following should also be taken into account: i) consumer expectations regarding nature, quality and composition of foods and goods; ii) private quality assurance schemes put in place by operators, which are certified and audited by independent and recognised certification bodies. To increase the effectiveness of the controls, Member States shall require that any animals or goods from other Member States be reported. The Commission shall be empowered to adopt delegated acts in order to establish a uniform minimum frequency for carrying out the controls Reducing the administrative burden: Members stated that any additional inconvenience to operators occasioned by controls should be kept to a minimum. In order to reduce the administrative burdens on operators, where possible, the competent authorities should take a coordinated approach to controls. Furthermore, it was enough that the outcome of official controls performed at a border control post be recorded in the Common Health Entry Document. Products of animal origin intended for human consumption: official controls should relate to the following, (a) the design and maintenance of premises and equipment; (b) personal hygiene; (c) HACCP-based procedures (d) own-controls procedures; (e) verification of compliance by the staff with applicable requirements; (f) verification of the operator’s records and of documents accompanying food, feed and any substance or material entering and leaving the establishment; (g) consideration of any evidence of the presence of fraudulent practices. At least one official veterinarian shall be present during both the ante-mortem and post-mortem inspection. Similarly, an official veterinarian or an official auxiliary shall be present, with a frequency appropriate to achieving the objectives of this Regulation, in cutting plants when meat is being worked on. Official controls in relation to animals shall include: (i) the verification of measures for protection against biological and chemical hazards to human and animal health; (ii) the verification of animal welfare measures; (iii) the verification of disease control or eradication measures. Fees: Members considered that the exemption of micro-enterprises were too broad and would lead to an average of 80-90% of enterprises working in the agri-food chain being exempted from payment. The costs of training control staff should be excluded from the calculation of fees or contributions to costs, as should the cost of facilities and equipment, including maintenance and insurance costs.Moreover, the fees or contributions to costs collected by the competent authority should fully cover the costs of the controls. European reference centres: in order, to limit the number of new cases of food fraud as much as possible, the committee proposed that the Commission should, through implementing acts, establish European reference centres for the authenticity and integrity of the agri-food chain.

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.

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.

Proposal for a regulation Recital 73 (73) It is important for the performance of effective official controls and other official activities that the competent authorities in the Member States, the Commission and, where relevant, operators be able to exchange data and information related to official controls or results therefrom rapidly and efficiently. Several information systems are established by Union legislation and managed by the Commission to allow such data and information to be handled and managed through Union wide computerised and internet-based tools. A system dedicated to recording and tracing official control results is the Trade Control and Expert System (TRACES system), ), established by Commission Decision 2003/24/EC of 30 December 2002 concerning the development of an integrated computerised veterinary system21 and currently used for the management of data and information on animals and products of animal origin and official controls thereon.

The competent authorities should therefore be accountable to the operators and to the general public for the efficiency and effectiveness of the official controls they perform.

Amendment 84 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 38 (38) To ensure the reliability and consistency of official controls and other official activities across the Union, the methods used for sampling and for laboratory analyses, tests and diagnoses should meet state-of-the-art scientific standards, satisfy the specific analytical, testing and diagnostic need of the laboratory concerned, and offer sound and reliable analytical, test and diagnostic results.

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.

Amendment 96 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 60 (60) Official controls and other official activities should be based on analytical, testing and diagnostic methods that meet state-of-the-art scientific standards and offer sound, reliable and comparable results across the Union. The methods used by official laboratories as well as the quality and uniformity of analytical, testing and diagnostic data generated by them should therefore be improved continuously. For that purpose, the Commission should be able to designate, and rely on the expert assistance of European Union reference laboratories in all those areas of the food chain where there is the need for precise and reliable analytical, testing and diagnostic results. The European Union reference laboratories should in particular ensure that national reference laboratories and official laboratories are provided with up-to-date information on available methods, organise or participate actively in inter-laboratory comparative tests and offer training courses for national reference laboratories or official laboratories. Tasks will be entrusted to European Union official laboratories after it has been ascertained that the Commission does not have the appropriate scientific and technical expertise to carry out activities that would otherwise be entrusted to the European Union official laboratories. The latter laboratories will be chosen through a public selection procedure.
Amendment 97 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 60 a (new) (60a) Article 32(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1829/2003 and Article 21(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 confer respectively on the European Union reference laboratory for genetically modified food and feed and on the European Union reference laboratory for feed additives, specific tasks as part of the authorisation procedure for genetically modified food or feed, or feed additives, relating, in particular, to the testing, evaluation and validation of the method of detection or analysis proposed by applicants. Experience shows that knowledge and expertise in the testing, evaluation and validation of methods in the context of the authorisation procedure is crucial in order to provide a high-level, state-of-the- art contribution to the efficiency of official controls. Laboratories designated as such under Article 32(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1829/2003 and Article 21(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 should therefore act as European Union reference laboratories for the purposes of this Regulation.

Amendment 99 #
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 centre for animal welfare should reflect the experience made from the pilot project "EUWelNet, Coordinated European Animal Welfare Network".
