12.06.2010; Approval of residue monitoring plans submitted by third countries
Directive 96/23/EC lays down measures to monitor the substances and groups of residues listed in Annex I thereto. Pursuant to Directive 96/23/EC, the inclusion and retention on the lists of third countries from which EU Member States are authorised to import animals and primary products of animal origin covered by that Directive, are subject to the submission by the third countries concerned of a plan setting out the guarantees which they offer as regards the monitoring of the groups of residues and substances listed in that Annex.
Those plans are to be updated at the request of the European Commission, particularly when certain checks render it necessary.
A special Commission Decision approves the residue monitoring plans submitted by certain third countries listed in the annex to that Decision for the animals and primary animal products indicated in that list.
Today the annex of that Decision has been amended for several third countries and commodities such as the deletion of Gambia for aquaculture and of India for aquaculture and honey and the inclusion of honey for Moldova and Uganda.
Vetimpleg explains all consequences of the amendments for all commodities concerned.
