EXPLANATORY NOTE

(This note is not part of the Regulations)

These Regulations amend Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/1793on the temporary increase of official controls and emergency measures governing the entry into the Union of certain goods from certain third countries (“Regulation (EU) 2019/1793”).

Regulation 2(2) and (4) make consequential amendments to Regulation (EU) 2019/1793following the deletion of guar gum in Annex II in these Regulations.

Regulation 2(3) amends Regulation (EU) 2019/1793to make provision in relation to sampling and analysis for the hazard pentachlorophenol and dioxins in guar gum listed in Annex I.

Regulation 2(5) provides that Annex I of Regulation (EU) 2019/1793is substituted, with amendments, with a new Annex I in schedule 1 of the Regulations, which contains a list which sets out food and feed of non-animal origin from certain third countries which is subject to a temporary increase of official controls at border control posts and control points in Great Britain.

Regulation 2(6) provides that Annex II of Regulation (EU) 2019/1793is substituted, with amendments, with a new Annex in schedule 2 of these Regulations. The new Annex II in schedule 2 comprises two tables. Table 1 contains the list of food and feed from certain third countries subject to special conditions for entry into Great Britain due to contamination risk by mycotoxins, including aflatoxins, pesticide residues and microbiological contamination. Table 2 contains the list of compound food containing any of the foods listed in Table 1 of Annex 2 due to the risk of contamination by aflatoxins in a quantity above 20% of either a single product or as the sum of those products.

No business and regulatory impact assessment has been prepared for these Regulations as no impact upon business, charities or voluntary bodies is foreseen. A Child Rights and Wellbeing Impact Assessment has been prepared and is available online at legislation.gov. A Policy Note has been published alongside this instrument atwww.legislation.gov.uk.
