EN 1  EN EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM  
1. CONTEXT  OF THE  DELEGATED  ACT  
Regulation (EU) 2017/625 of the European Parliament and of the Council lays down rules for  
the performance of official controls and other control activities by the competent authorities 
of the Member States, including for the establishment of requirements to be fulfilled for the 
entry into the Union of consignments of animals and goods from thi rd countries or regions 
thereof and official controls performed on such consignments that are intended for human 
consumption in order to ensure that they comply with Union legislation in the area of food 
and food safety.  
Commission Delegated Regulation (EU ) 2019/625 supplements Regulation (EU) 2017/625 
with regard to requirements for the entry into the Union of consignments of certain animals 
and goods intended for human consumption.  
The main purpose of the  amendment to Delegated Regulation (EU) 2019/625  is the adapt ation 
of import conditions for shelf -stable composite products containing colostrum -based products , 
considering the animal health risks related to colostrum -based products and the absence of 
effective treatments to mitigate them , by laying down t hat these products should originate 
from listed third countries authorised to export colostrum -based products  and by imposing 
certificate requirements . 
This Delegated Regulation also clarifies a number of applicable Combined Nomenclature 
codes or Harmonise d System codes, used to identify the goods or animals to which the import 
requirements in Delegated Regulation (EU) 2019/625 apply and updates references to acts 
mentioned in that Delegated Regulation. It also imposes import conditions to Vitamin D3 
derive d from lanolin and to bee pollen flour.  
To be consistent with the amendments in Delegated Regulation (EU) 2019/625, Delegated 
Regulation (EU) 2021/630 need s to be amended:  The draft also provides new legal references 
in Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2021/630 as a consequence of changes in Article 
12(2) of Delegated Regulation (EU) 2019/625 and provide s that only s helf-stable composite 
products not containing colostrum -based products or any meat products other than gelatine, 
collagen or highly refined products may be exempted from official controls at border control 
posts.  
Furthermore, this Delegated Regulation amends Delegated Regulation (EU) 2019/2122 in 
order to better clarify  which document should accompany each the different categories of 
animals and goods , exempted from  official controls at border control posts  and, in r espect of 
the provisions for pet birds , to make minor update s to certain references  to acts mentioned in 
that Delegated Regulation . In particular, it replaces the references to Commission Decision 
2007/25/EC with references to Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 
2021/…[SANTE/7070/2018] and Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2021/… 
[SANTE/7186/2019].  
2. CONSULTATIONS  PRIOR  TO THE  ADOPTION  OF THE  ACT  
This Delegated Regulation has been discussed on 7 September  2021 at the meeting of the 
expert group on food hygiene and control of food of animal origin, representing competent 
authorities of all Member States,  and is supported by these experts.   
EN 2  EN Before adopting this Delegated Regulation, the Commission conducted public consultations in 
an open and transparent way in accordance with the procedures laid down in the 
Interinstitutional Agreement on Better Law -Making . 
3. LEGAL  ELEMENTS  OF THE  DELEGATED  ACT

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,  
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union , 
Having regard to  Regulation (EU) 2017/625 of the European Parliament and of the Co uncil of 
15 March 2017 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, amending Regulations (EC) No 999/2001, (EC) No 396/2005, (EC) No 
1069/2009, (EC) No 1107/2009, (EU) No 1151/2012, (EU) No 652/2014, (EU) 2016/429 and 
(EU) 2016/2031 of the European Parliament and of the Council, Council Regulations (EC) No 
1/2005 and (EC) No 1099/2009 and Council Directives 98/58/EC , 1999/74/EC, 2007/43/EC, 
2008/119/EC and 2008/120/EC, and repealing Regulations (EC) No 854/2004 and (EC) No 
882/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council, Council Directives 89/608/EEC, 
89/662/EEC, 90/425/EEC, 91/496/EEC, 96/23/EC, 96/93/EC and 97/78/EC and Council 
Decision 92/438/EEC (Official Controls Regulation)1, and in particular Article  48, points (b), 
(f) and (h),  and Article 126(1)  thereof,   
Whereas:  
(1) Commission Dele gated Regulation (EU) 2019/6252 supplements Regulation (EU) 
2017/625  as regards the requirements for entry in the Union of consignments of 
certain animals and goods intended for human consumption from third countries or 
regions thereof in order to ensure that they comply with the applicable requirements or 
with requirement s recognised to be at least equivalent thereto .  
(2) Apart from requiring that products of animal origin  intended for human consumption 
enter the Union from a third country or region thereof included in the relevant  lists, 
Article 3 , point (a),  of Delegated Regulation (EU) 2019/625  refers to specific 
Combined Nomenclature codes (‘ CN codes ’) and Harmonised System codes (‘HS 
codes’) that must have been laid down for the products concerned .  
(3) Until 31 December 2020, the importation of v itamin D3 derived from lanolin of sheep 
wool referred to by the HS code s under heading 2936  in Part Two of Annex I to 
                                                 
1 OJ L 95, 7.4.2017, p.  1. 
2 Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2019/625 of 4 March 2019 supplementing Regulation (EU) 
2017/625 of the European Parliament and of the Council with regard to requirements for the entry into 
the Union of consignments of cer tain animals and goods intended for human consumption (OJ L 131, 
17.5.2019, p.  18).  
EN 4  EN Council Regulation (EEC) No 2658/873 was allowed based on transitional measures 
laid down in Commission Regulation (EU) 2017/1854. The U nion is highly depending 
on the importation of this product. Due to the robust process by which v itamin D 3 is 
obtained from lanolin , there is no public health concern related to the importation of 
such product. Importation of vitamin D3 derived from lanolin should therefore be 
authorised again and the appropriate heading  introduced in Article 3 , point (a),  of 
Delegated Regulation (EU) 2019/625.  
(4) The obligation to list establishments for entry in the Union in accordance with Article 
5 of Delegated Regulation ( EU) 2019/625, applicable to gelatine , should also apply to 
empty gelatine capsules. The HS code for gelatine capsules should therefore be added.  
(5) Articles 3, 5 , 12 and 13  of Delegated Regulation (EU) 2019/625 provide for import 
requirements for consignments of goods  referred to by certain CN codes or HS codes 
in Part Two of Annex I to  Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87 . It is appropriate to clarify 
the applicable codes in order t o avoid any ambiguity  as regards  which codes apply to 
certain goods . Missing codes should be added and c odes which are not relevant  or 
redundant , should be removed.  
(6) Bee pollen flour , referred to by CN code ex1212 99 95 , may represent a public health 
risk related to the presence of residues of environmental contaminants similar to other 
apiculture products. Similar requirement s for entry into the Union  should apply to bee 
pollen flour  as to other apiculture products . 
(7) In accordance with A rticle 1 2(2), point (c), of Delegated Regulation (EU) 2019/625 , 
composite products referred to Article 12(1) of that Regulation that do not need to be 
transported or stored under controlled temperatures and which  contain processed 
products of animal origin other than processed meat , for which requirements are laid 
down in Annex III to Regulation (EC) No 853/2004 are to originate from third 
countries or regions thereof authorised to export meat products, dairy products, 
colostrum -based produc ts, fishery products or egg products to the Union on the basis 
of the Union animal and public health requirements and which are listed at least for 
one of these products of animal origin pursuant to Article 3 of Delegated Regulation 
(EU) 2019/625.  
(8) Considering the animal health risks related to colostrum -based products and the 
absence of effective treatments to mitigate them, shelf -stable composite products 
containing colostrum -based products should  originate from countries authorised to 
export colost rum-based products  to the Union .  
(9) Gelatine, collagen and certain highly refined products can be imported without 
submitting a residue monitoring plan and, consequently, it is not nece ssary that 
countries are listed  in the Annex of Commission Decision 2011/ 163/EU5 to be allowed 
to export these products or composite products containing these products to the Union.  
In addition, certain third countries can export to the Union shelf stable composite 
products not containing processed meat or colostrum based produ cts using  processed 
products of animal origin  that have been sourced either from a Member State or from a 
                                                 
3 Council Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87 of 23 July 1987 on the tariff and statistical nomenclature and on 
the Common Customs Tariff (OJ L 256, 7.9.1987, p. 1).  
4 Commission Regulation (EU) 2017/185 of 2 February 2017 laying down transitional measures for the 
application of certain provisions of Regulations (EC) No 853/2004 and (EC) No 854/2004 of the 
European Parliament and of the Council (OJ L 29, 3.2.2017, p. 21).  
5  Commis sion Decision 2011/163/EU of 16 March 2011 on the approval of plans submitted by third 
countries in accordance with Article 29 of Council Directive 96/23/EC (OJ L 70, 17.3.2011, p. 40)   
EN 5  EN third country listed for the relevant species/commodity from which those processed 
products are derived, in the Annex to Commission Decision 2011/163/ EU. For reasons 
of clarity and consistency, these provisions should be included in the import 
conditions of certain composite products.  
(10) Shelf-stable composite products containing colostrum -based products should no longer 
benefit from the possibility of being accompanied by a private attestation instead of an 
official certificate.  
(11) Paragraph 1 of Article 14 lays down that a private attestati on must accompany the 
consignments of certain composite products. The current wording contains some 
ambiguity as regards the composite products to which this provision applies and 
should therefore be reformulated.  
(12) Regulation (EU) 2016/429 of the European P arliament and of the Council6 applies 
from 21 April 2021, resulting in the repeal of several acts referred to in Delegated 
Regulation (EU) 2019/625. For reasons of clarity and consistency, it is appropriate to 
update  these references.  
(13) Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2019/21227 establishes certain categories of 
animals and goods exempted from official controls at border control posts.  
(14) Article 4 of Delegated Regulation (EU) 2019/2122 provides for different documents 
that need to accompany samples exempt ed from official controls at border control 
posts. It should be better clarified which documents should accompany samples of 
animal origin, in accordance with the rules applicable to their entry into the Union.  
(15) Article 11 of Delegated Regulation (EU) 2019/ 2122  provides that pe t birds  entering 
the Union during a non -commercial movement in accordance with Commission 
Decision 2007/25/EC8 are exempted from official controls at border control posts . 
Decision 2007/25/EC is, however, replaced by Commission Delegat ed Regulation 
(EU) 2021/[SANTE/7070/2018]9 and Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 
2021/… [SANTE/7186/2019]10 and repealed by the lat ter. References to that Decision 
in Delegated Regulation (EU) 2019/2122 should therefore be updated .

of the European  Parliament and of the Council with regard to rules for non -commercial movements of 
pet birds into a Member State from a territory or a third country [SANTE/7070/2018] (OJ L NN,

document for non -commercial movements of pet birds into a Member State from a territory or a third

EN 6  EN (16) Commission Delegate d Regulation (EU) 2021/63011 exempts certain categories of 
food from official controls at border control posts.  In order to ensure legal certainty , it 
is necessary to include shelf -stable composite products not containing colostrum -based 
products or processed meat  other  than gelatine, collagen or highly refined products 
referred to in Section XVI of Annex III to Regulation (EC) No 853/2004 in the 
products to be exempted from official controls at border control post in accordance 
with Delegated Regulat ion (EU) 2021/630.   
(17) Animal health requirements for dairy and egg products contained in composite 
products laid down in Article 163( a) of Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 
2020/69212, were amended by Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) …../…. 
C(2021)4 298, PE/2021/4410]13. In order to ensure legal certainty, it is necessary to 
refer to new legal requirements for dairy and egg products contained in composite 
products  in Delegated Regulation (EU) 2021/630 . 
(18) Since the amendments to Delegated Regulations (EU)  2019/625 , (EU) 2019/2122  and 
(EU) 2021/630  are linked to each other  insofar as they concern the adaptation of 
import conditions for shelf -stable composite products containing colostrum -based 
products , and since  the other amendments to Delegated Regulation  (EU)  2019/2122 
merely concern minor updates of references, it is appropriate to make those 
amendments by one single  Regulation.   
(19) Delegated Regulations (EU) 2019/625 , (EU) 2019/2122 and (EU) 2021/630 should 
therefore be amended accordingly ,
