| Regulation (EC) No 1829/2003: clarification of legal status of food and feed obtained using genetically modified microorganisms.Amendments to Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003: the draft act provides for 1) unlimited duration of authorisation of feed additives (except coccidiostats and histomonostats) accompanied by safety safeguards, 2) simplification and clarification of procedures for modification of feed additives authorisations and 3) allowing digital labelling of feed additives and premixtures for certain non-safety information.Regulation (EC) No 1099/2009: this part of the proposal removes the obligation in Article 18(4) of Regulation (EC) No 1099/2009 for Member States to submit a separate annual report on depopulation operations. Information on compliance with animal welfare requirements during depopulation activities will instead continue to be reported through the existing annual reports under Regulation (EU) 2017/625 on official controls.Amendment to Regulation (EC) No 999/2001: the proposal will make more flexible Regulation (EC) No 999/2001 to ensure that the control measures of that disease can be updated in a swifter and more proportionate manner to enable that it becomes more science-based and more aligned with the relevant Chapter 11.4 of the WOAH Terrestrial Code.Amendment to Regulation (EU) No 528/2012: The draft Proposal for a Regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council amending Regulation (EU) No 528/2012 proposes to extend the data protection of data of existing active substances still under evaluation in the review programme due to delays in the completion of the review programme, and also proposes a number of changes to lower administrative burden, including the possibility for certain active substances to have unlimited approval.Amendment to Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009: The draft Proposal for a Regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council amending Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 proposes a number of changes to lower administrative burden and allow for faster market access, without reducing the existing protection standards for health and the environment. The proposal aims to accelerate access to innovative biocontrol solutions. This will be achieved by, among others, tackling procedural inefficiencies, defining biocontrol substances, allowing provisional authorisations of products containing biocontrol substances, and reallocating or increasing resources in Member State authorities and the European Food Safety Authority. The possibility for certain active substances to have unlimited approval periods is proposed, alongside new provisions to allow for the renewal or targeted reassessment of those substances. Existing provisions concerning derogation from the approval criteria and grace periods are also amended. The proposal also intends to expand market access for plant protection products through stronger mutual recognition of product authorisations between Member States and strengthened support for minor uses. In addition, the proposal intends to clarify provisions related to basic substances, seed treatment and data protection to increase harmonisation of implementation across Member States.Amendment to Regulation (EU) 2017/625: Two amendments are proposed on the official controls Regulation (OCR): (a) Article 50(3) is amended to provide the possibility to competent authorities of border control posts to split the consignments of plants and plant products before completing the official controls on the entirety of the consignment, in order to release the parts for which official controls have been finalised while other parts still need further controls. (b) Articles 41, 93, 100 and 144 are amended so that the Commission is empowered to adopt delegated acts concerning the cases where, and the conditions under which, laboratories may be designated as official laboratories, national reference laboratories and EU reference laboratories, while operating and being accredited in accordance with similar laboratory standards to EN ISO/IEC 17025 and/or not being accredited for all the methods they use for official controls or other official activities. |
