Regulation (EU) 2019/1793 regulates the frequency of official controls on imports of certain foodstuffs into the EU. With the current amending Regulation (EU) 2024/1662 by 06/11/24 various adjustments to the control plan were published, which apply from 02/07/24.
Here is a selection of the current risk profile-based, regular import checks. It can serve as a suggestion for adapting internal inspection plans.
We have limited ourselves to what we consider to be the most important imported goods and countries of origin. In addition to fruit and vegetables, other product groups that may be of interest to our customers are also taken into account.
Annex I of Regulation (EU) 2019/1793 lists the foodstuffs (and animal feed) that are subject to increased official routine controls. Annex II lists the products subject to emergency measures outside the routine checks. The annexes are reviewed every 6 months and amended if necessary. Ultimately, they reflect the experience gained from the alerts in the RASFF system with a time lag.
