EXPLANATORY NOTE

(This note is not part of the Regulations)

These Regulations amend, in relation to Wales, Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/1793on 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) 2017/625of 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 178/2002of 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.

Regulation 2(3) amends EUR 2019/1793 (using powers in Article 34(6) of EUR 2017/625) to make provision in relation to sampling and analysis for the hazard pentachlorophenol and dioxins in guar gum listed in Annex 1 (as substituted by these Regulations). Regulation 2(2) and (4) makes consequential amendments to EUR 2019/1793 following the removal of the entry in Annex 2 for guar gum (by these Regulations).

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2019/1793) (Wales) Regulations 2024 ( S.I. 2024/119 (W. 27)), to remove earlier amendments to EUR 2019/1793 that are superseded by the amendments made by these Regulations.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:

In Annex 2 to EUR 2019/1793, Table 1 contains the list of food and feed of non-animal origin for which special conditions are prescribed governing their entry into Great Britain. The changes being made to Annex 2, Table 1, are as follows:

In Annex 2 to EUR 2019/1793, Table 2 contains a list of compound food containing any of the food listed in Table 1 to Annex 2 due to the risk of contamination by aflatoxins in a quantity above 20% of either a single product or as the sum of those products. Table 2 is restated with no changes.

Annex 2a to EUR 2019/1793 contains the list of food and feed of non-animal origin that is prohibited from entering Great Britain. There are no changes being made to Annex 2a.

The Welsh Ministers’ Code of Practice on the carrying out of Regulatory Impact Assessments was considered in relation to these Regulations. As a result, it was not considered necessary to carry out a regulatory impact assessment as to the likely costs and benefits of complying with these Regulations.
