It is therefore necessary to amend all the references to Delegated Regulation (EU) 2019/625 in Implementing Regulation (EU) 2020/2235 accordingly. ---|--- (3) | Chapters 34 (model MILK-RMP/NT) and 35 (model DAIRY-PRODUCTS-PT) of Annex III to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2020/2235 set out model animal health/official certificates for the entry into the Union of dairy products intended for human consumption derived from raw milk or dairy products therefrom, or both, that are not required to undergo a specific risk-mitigating treatment, and dairy products intended for human consumption that are required to undergo a pasteurisation treatment. Amendments to Article 156 of Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2020/692 (7) introduced by Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2023/119 (8) should be reflected in Article 16, point (b), of Implementing Regulation (EU) 2020/2235 and those model animal health/official certificates. ---|--- (4) | Box I.27 in Part I of the model certificates in Annex III to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2020/2235 sets out the requirements for the description of the consignment. It is necessary to simplify and harmonise certain descriptive elements relating to the establishments from which or in which the consignment is dispatched, obtained or prepared. Consequently, the notes for completion of Box I.27 in Chapter 4 of Annex I to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2020/2235 should be aligned accordingly. ---|--- (5) | Council Directive 96/23/EC (9) has been repealed and provisions regarding the entry into the Union as stated in Article 29 of that Directive have been incorporated into Delegated Regulation (EU) 2022/2292. It is therefore necessary to amend all the references to that Directive in Annex III to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2020/2235 accordingly. ---|--- (6) | Commission Decision 2011/163/EU (10) has been repealed and incorporated into Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2021/405 (11).

In the notes to Part I of those models, Box reference I.27. should be supplemented by the exclusion of fresh blood from the category ‘offal’ in the description of the nature of the commodity. The entry of fresh blood into the Union is not permitted in accordance with Article 130 of Delegated Regulation (EU) 2020/692. It is therefore necessary to amend those model certificates accordingly. ---|--- (8) | Chapters 1 (model BOV), 2 (model OVI), 24 (model MP-PREP), 25 (model MPNT), 26 (model MPST), 27 (model CAS), 41 (model GEL), 42 (model COL), 43 (model RCG), 44 (model TCG) and 50 (model COMP) of Annex III to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2020/2235 set out model certificates for the entry into the Union of consignments of products of bovine, ovine and caprine origin. Regulation (EC) No 999/2001 of the European Parliament and of the Council (12) provides for, inter alia, the requirements for the entry into the Union of those consignments depending on the bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) risk of their country of origin. It is necessary to clarify those requirements and to align those model certificates with Regulation (EC) No 999/2001. ---|--- (9) | Chapter 13 (model POU) of Annex III to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2020/2235 sets out the model animal health/official certificate for the entry into the Union of consignments of fresh meat intended for human consumption, excluding minced meat and mechanically separated meat, of poultry other than ratites. Amendments to Article 124 of Delegated Regulation (EU) 2020/692 introduced by Delegated Regulation (EU) 2023/119 should be reflected in the animal health attestation of that model animal health/official certificate by allowing poultry in a third country or territory to pass through a restricted zone on the way to the slaughterhouse. ---|--- (10) | Chapters 25 (model MPNT) and 26 (model MPST) of Annex III to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2020/2235 set out model animal health/official certificates for the entry into the Union of consignments of certain categories of meat products intended for human consumption. Amendments to Article 150 of Delegated Regulation (EU) 2020/692 introduced by Delegated Regulation (EU) 2023/119 should be reflected in the animal health attestations of those model animal health/official certificates by clarifying the requirements for the establishment of origin of the animals from which the fresh meat used for the production of meat products was obtained. ---|--- (11) | Chapters 28 (model FISH-CRUST-HC) and 31 (model MOL-HC) of Annex III to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2020/2235 set out model animal health/official certificates for the entry into the Union of consignments of live fish, live crustaceans, and products of animal origin from those animals intended for human consumption and consignments of live bivalve molluscs, echinoderms, tunicates, marine gastropods and products of animal origin from those animals intended for human consumption. Amendments to Article 1(6), Article 166 and Article 167, point (a), of Delegated Regulation (EU) 2020/692 introduced by Delegated Regulation (EU) 2023/119 should be reflected in points II.2.3.2., II.2.3.3. and II.2.7.3. of the animal health attestations of those model animal health/official certificates. ---|--- (12) | In the notes to Part I of Chapters 34 (model MILK-RMP/NT), 35 (model DAIRY-PRODUCTS-PT) and 36 (model DAIRY-PRODUCTS-ST) of Annex III to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2020/2235, Box reference I.27. should be amended by deleting the Harmonised System (HS) code(s) under headings 19.01 and 22.02 from the description of the consignment as they do not cover products of animal origin. ---|--- (13) | Chapter 45 (model HON) of Annex III to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2020/2235 sets out the model official certificate for the entry into the Union of consignments of honey and other apiculture products intended for human consumption. In the notes to Part I of that model official certificate, Box reference I.27. should be amended by adding the Harmonised System (HS) code(s) for pollen under heading 1212 to the description of the consignment. ---|--- (14) | Chapters 50 (model COMP) and 52 (model TRANSIT-COMP) of Annex III to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2020/2235 set out the model animal health/official certificate for the entry into the Union of non-shelf-stable composite products and shelf-stable composite products, containing any quantity of meat products except gelatine, collagen and highly refined products, and intended for human consumption and the model animal health certificate for the transit through the Union to a third country, either by immediate transit or after storage in the Union, of non-shelf-stable composite products and shelf-stable composite products, containing any quantity of meat products, and intended for human consumption. Amendments to Article 156 of Delegated Regulation (EU) 2020/692 introduced by Delegated Regulation (EU) 2023/119 should be reflected in those model certificates by introducing the possibility of producing dairy products not subject to risk-mitigating treatment contained in the composite products from raw milk or dairy products therefrom, or both. Moreover, certain notes to Part II of those model certificates concerning the origin and production of dairy products contained in composite products should be supplemented and clarified. ---|--- (15) | Annex III to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2020/2235 should therefore be amended accordingly. ---|--- (16) | Implementing Regulation (EU) 2020/2235 should therefore be amended accordingly. ---|--- (17) | In order to avoid any disruption to trade as regards the entry into the Union and transit through the Union to a third country of consignments of certain categories of animals and goods referred to in Articles 8 to 30a and in Article 33 of Implementing Regulation (EU) 2020/2235, the use of certificates or attestation issued in accordance with Implementing Regulation (EU) 2020/2235, as applicable prior to the amendments made by this Regulation, should continue to be authorised during a transitional period subject to certain conditions. ---|--- (18) | The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Plants, Animals, Food and Feed, ---|--- HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION: Article 1 Implementing Regulation (EU) 2020/2235 is amended as follows: (1) | in Article 1(3), point (b)(i) is replaced by the following: | ‘(i) | products of animal origin and composite products for which such certificate is required in accordance with Article 21 of Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2022/2292 (*1); ---|--- (*1) Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2022/2292 of 6 September 2022 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 food-producing animals and certain goods intended for human consumption (OJ L 304, 24.11.2022, p. 1).’;" (2) | in Article 2, points (4) and (5) are replaced by the following: | ‘(4) | “insects” means insects as defined in Article 2, point (27), of Delegated Regulation (EU) 2022/2292; ---|--- (5) | “reefer vessel” means a reefer vessel as defined in Article 2, point (43), of Delegated Regulation (EU) 2022/2292;’; ---|--- (3) | in Article 14, paragraph 3 is replaced by the following: ‘3.
