THE EUR OPEAN COMMISSION, 
Havi ng regar d to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, 
Havi ng regard to Regulation (EC) No 178/2002 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 28 Januar y 2002 laying 
down the general principles and requirements of food law, establishing the European Food Safety Author ity and laying

Havi ng regard to Regulation (EU) 2017/625 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 15 March 2017 on official 
controls and other official activities perf ormed to ensure the application of food and feed law, rules on animal health and 
welf are, 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 (Offici al 
Controls Regulation) (2), and in particular point (b) of the first subparagraph of Article 47(2) and points (a) and (b) of the 
first subparagraph of Article 54(4) thereof, 
Whereas: 
(1) Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/1793 (3) lays down rules concer ning the temporar y increase of 
official controls at the entr y into the Union on certain food and feed of non-animal origin from certain third 
countr ies listed in Annex I to that Regulation and special conditions governing the entr y into the Union of certain 
food and feed from certain third countr ies due to the risk of contamination by aflatoxins, pesticide residues, 
pentachlorophe nol and dioxins and microbiological contamination, listed in Annex II to that Regulation. 
(2) Certain categor ies of consignments of food and feed are excl uded from the scope of application of Imp lementing 
Regulation (EU) 2019/1793 provi ded that their gross weight does not excee d 30 kg. Since hazards relat e to the 
products themselves and not to their immediate containers or packaging, this weight limit should relat e only to the 
products themselves. It is theref ore appropr iate to amend Article 1(3) of Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/1793 
to replace the reference to the gross weight therein by a reference to the net weight. 
(3) Article 12 of Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/1793 provides that the lists set out in its Annex es I and II are to be 
reviewed on a regular basis not excee ding a period of six months, in order to take into account new information 
relat ed to risks and non-compliance.

(3)Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/1793 of 22 Octo ber 2019 on the temporar y increase of official controls and 
emergen cy measures governing the entr y into the Union of certain goods from certain third countr ies implement ing Regulations 
(EU) 2017/625 and (EC) No 178/2002 of the European Parliament and of the Council and repealing Commission Regulations 
(EC) No 669/2009, (EU) No 884/2014, (EU) 2015/175, (EU) 2017/186 and (EU) 2018/1660 (OJ L 277, 29.10.2019, p. 89). EN Offi cial Jour nal of the European Union 7.5.2020                                                                                                                                          L 144/13   (4) The occur rence and relevance of recent food incidents notified through the Rapid Aler t System for Food and Feed 
(‘RASFF’), as established by Regulation (EC) No 178/2002, information regarding official controls performed by 
Member States on food and feed of non-animal origin, as well as the biannual repor ts on consignments of food and 
feed of non-animal origin submitte d by Member States to the Commission in 2019 in accordance with Article 15 of 
Commission Regulation (EC) No 669/2009 (4), indicate that the lists set out in Annex es I and II to Implementing 
Regulation (EU) 2019/1793 should be amended. 
(5) In particular , for consignments of oranges, mandar ins, clementines, wilkings and similar citrus hybrids from Turke y, 
the data resulting from notific ations received through the RASFF and information regarding official controls 
performe d by Member State s indicate the emerg ence of new risks to human health, due to possible pesticide 
residues contamination, requir ing an increased level of official controls. In addition, for spice mixes from Pakistan, 
data resulting from notifi cations received through the RASFF and information regarding official controls performed 
by Member States indicate the emerg ence of new risks to human health due to possible aflatoxin contamination, 
which require an increased level of official controls. Entr ies concer ning those consignments should theref ore be 
included in Annex I to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/1793. 
(6) Due to the high frequency of non-com pliance with the relevant requirements provid ed for in Union legislation 
detected during official controls performed by Member State s in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 669/2009 in 
the first semester of 2019, it is appropr iate to increase the frequency of identity and physical checks to be 
performe d on beans from Kenya and dried grapes and pomegranates from Turkey. Entr ies concer ning those 
consignments in Annex I to Imple menting Regulation (EU) 2019/1793 should theref ore be amended according ly. 
(7) Sesamum seeds from Sudan and Uga nda are already subject to an increased level of official controls as regards the 
presence of Salmonella since July and Januar y 2017, respectively . The official controls carried out on those 
foodstuffs by the Member States show an increase of the rate of non-com pliance since the establishment of the 
increased level of official controls. Those results provi de evidence that the entr y of those foodstuffs into the Union 
constitute s a serious risk for human health. 
(8) In order to protect human health in the Union, it is theref ore necessar y, in addition to the increased level of official 
controls, to provid e for special conditions in relation to Sesamum seeds from Sudan and Uganda. In particular , all 
consignments of Sesamum seeds from Sudan and Uganda should be accompanied by an official certificate stating 
that all results of sampling and analysis show the absence of Salmonella in 25 g. The results of the sampli ng and 
analysis should be attac hed to that certificate. The entr ies concer ning Sesamum seeds from Sudan and Uganda 
should theref ore be deleted from Annex I to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/1793 and included in Annex II 
thereto. 
(9) In addition, peppers of the Capsicum species (other than sweet) from India and Pakistan are already subject to an 
increased level of offici al controls as regards the presence of pesticide residues since Januar y 2018. That frequency 
rate was increased already in Januar y 2019 from 10 % to 20 % due to a high degree of non-com pliance with the 
relevant requirements provided for in Union legislation. The official controls carried out on these foodstuffs by the 
Member States show a persist ent high rate of non-com pliance for peppers of the Capsicum species (other than sweet) 
from India and an increase of the rate of non-com pliance for peppers of the Capsicum species (other than sweet) from 
Pakistan since the increased level of official controls. Several RASFF notifications were transmitted concer ning both 
commodities since the establishment of an increased level of official controls. Those results provid e evidence that 
the entr y of those foods into the Union constitutes a serious risk for human health. 
(10) In order to protect human health in the Union, it is theref ore necessar y in addition to the increased level of official 
controls, to provid e for special conditions in relation to peppers of the Capsicum species (other than sweet) from 
India and Pakistan. In particular , all consignments of peppers (other than sweet) from India and Pakistan should be 
accompan ied by an official certificate stating that the products have been sampled and analysed for pesticide 
residues and all results show that the relevant maximum residue levels of pesticides have not been exceed ed. The 
results of the sampling and analysis should be attach ed to that certificate. The entr ies concer ning peppers of the 
Capsicum species (other than sweet) from India and Pakistan should theref ore be deleted from Annex I to 
Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/1793 and included in Annex II theret o. 
(4)Commission Regulation (EC) No 669/2009 of 24 July 2009 implementing Regulation (EC) No 882/2004 of the European Parliament 
and of the Council as regar ds the increased level of official controls on impor ts of certain feed and food of non-animal origin and 
amending Decision 2006/504/EC (OJ L 194, 25.7.2009, p. 11). EN Offi cial Jour nal of the European Union L 144/14                                                                                                                                           7.5.2020   (11) For curry leaves from India, the frequency of non-com pliance with the relevant requirements provi ded for in Union 
legislation detected during official controls performe d by Member States has decreased. It is theref ore appropr iate to 
delet e from Annex II to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/1793 and include in Annex I to that Regulation the 
entr y concer ning curry leav es from India. It is appropr iate to increase the frequency of identity and physical checks 
to be performed on this commodity , given that the requirements concer ning official certification and sampli ng and 
analysis for pesticide residues in the third countr y will be discontinued for this commodity . 
(12) For raspber ries from Serbia, dried apricots and apricots, other wise prepared or preser ved from Turke y and lemons 
from Turke y, the available information indicates an overall satisf actory degree of compliance with the relevant safety 
requirements provi ded for in Union legislation and for whic h an increased level of official controls is theref ore no 
long er justif ied. The entr ies in Annex I to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/1793 concer ning those commodities 
should theref ore be delet ed. 
(13) The Combined Nomenclature code indicated for Sesamum seeds in Annex es I and II to Implementing Regulation 
(EU) 2019/1793 includes raw and processed Sesamum seeds. It is appropr iate from a risk manag ement perspective 
to cover both raw and processed Sesamum seeds in Annexes I and II to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/1793, 
as in particular in the case of the countr ies of origin mentioned in Annexes I and II to Implementing Regulation 
(EU) 2019/1793, raw or processed Sesamum seeds present the same risks. All the product descr iptions in Annex es I 
and II to Imp lementing Regulation (EU) 2019/1793 concer ning Sesamum seeds should theref ore be amended to 
cover both raw and processed Sesamum seeds. Additionally , in order to bette r align with the product descr iption for 
that Combined Nomenclature code in Council Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87 (5), these products should be refer red to 
in Annex es I and II to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/1793 as ‘Sesamum seeds ’ only , and not as ‘Sesame seeds 
(Sesamum seeds)’. 
(14) Groundnut flours and meals present the same risk as the forms of that food and feed currently liste d in Annex es I 
and II to Implemen ting Regulation (EU) 2019/1793. All entr ies in Annexes I and II to Implementing Regulation 
(EU) 2019/1793 concer ning groundnuts should theref ore be amended to include groundnut flours and meals. 
(15) Similarly , oilcak e and other solid residues, whether or not ground or in the form of pellets, resulting from the 
extraction of groundnut oil present the same risk as the forms of that commodity currently listed in Annex es I and 
II to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/1793. Certain entr ies in Annex I to Implementing Regulation 
(EU) 2019/1793 concer ning groundnuts do not include groundnuts in the aforementioned form. It is theref ore 
appropr iate to amend all the entr ies concer ning groundnuts in Annex I to Implementing Regulation 
(EU) 2019/1793 to include oilcake and other solid residues, whether or not ground or in the form of pellets, 
resulting from the extraction of groundnut oil. 
(16) The Combined Nomenclature codes indicated for peppers of the Capsicum species (sweet or other than sweet) from 
Sri Lanka and India respectively and for apricots, other wise prepared or preser ved from Uzbekistan should be 
modifi ed in Implemen ting Regulation (EU) 2019/1793, in order to ensure consiste ncy with the descr iption for 
these commodities in Annex es I and II to that Regulation. 
(17) In order to ensure consistency and clarity, it is appropr iate to replace Annex I and Annex II to Implemen ting 
Regulation (EU) 2019/1793 in their entirety . 
(18) Commission Implementing Decision 2014/88/EU (6) prohibits the impor tation into the Union of foodstuffs 
containing or consisting of betel leaves originating in or consigned from Bang ladesh. It was adopt ed following a 
high number of notificati ons issued in the RASFF due to the presence of a wide rang e of Salmonella strains, 
including Salmonella Typhimur ium, found in foodstuffs containing or consisting of betel leaves (‘Piper betle’, 
commonly known as ‘Paan leaf’ or ‘Betel quid’) from Bang ladesh. 
(19) Bang ladesh has not submitte d a satisf actor y action plan. Theref ore, it cannot be concluded that the guarantees 
provid ed by Bang ladesh are suffi cient to address the serious risks to human health previously identif ied. The 
emerge ncy measures established by Implementing Decision 2014/88/EU should theref ore remain in place. 
(5)Council Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87 of 23 July 1987 on the tariff and statistical nomenclature and on the Common Cust oms Tariff 
(OJ L 256, 7.9.1987, p. 1). 
(6)Commission Implementing Decision 2014/88/EU of 13 Febr uary 2014 suspending temporar ily impo rts from Bang ladesh of 
foodstuffs containing or consisting of betel leav es (‘Piper betle’) (OJ L 45, 15.2.2014, p. 34). EN Offi cial Jour nal of the European Union 7.5.2020                                                                                                                                          L 144/15   (20) Commission Implemen ting Regulation (EU) 2015/943 (7) suspends the impor t into the Union of dried beans under 
CN codes 0713 39 00, 0713 35 00 and 0713 90 00 originating from Nigeri a, due to continued presence of 
dichlor vos. Commission Imple menting Regulation (EU) 2019/1256 (8) extended the date of application of 
Implementing Regulation (EU) 2015/943 until 30 June 2022, to allow Nigeria to imple ment the appropr iate risk 
manage ment measures and provide the required guarantees. 
(21) The rules laid down in Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/1793, in Implementing Decision 2014/88/EU and in 
Implementing Regulation (EU) 2015/943 are substantively linke d, as they all concer n the imposition of additional 
measures governing the entr y into the Union of certain food and feed from certain third countr ies due to an 
identif ied risk and whic h apply depending on the grav ity of the risk. It is theref ore appropr iate to facilitate the 
correct and compr ehensive application of the relevant rules by establishing in a sing le act the provi sions concer ning 
the temporar y increase of official controls on certain food and feed of non-animal origin and the respective 
emerge ncy measures. Implementing Decision 2014/88/EU and Implementing Regulation (EU) 2015/943 should 
theref ore be repealed and their provi sions transferr ed to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/1793, and the latter 
be amended according ly. 
(22) In the inter est of legal certainty , it is appropr iate to provide that Member States may author ise the entr y into the 
Union of consignments of Sesamum seeds from Sudan and Uganda and of peppers of the Capsicum species (other 
than sweet) from India and Pakistan whic h are not accompan ied by an official certificate and the results of sam pling 
and analysis if they left their countr y of origin or the countr y of dispatch if that countr y is diffe rent from the countr y 
of origin, before the date of entr y into force of this Regulation. 
(23) Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/1793 should theref ore be amended according ly.
