Commission Decision of 17 April 2007 concerning lists of animals and products to be subject to controls at border inspection posts under Council Directives 91/496/EEC and 97/78/EC (notified under document number C(2007) 1547) (Text with EEA relevance) (2007/275/EC)

[F1ANNEX II U.K. List of composite products and foodstuffs not subject to veterinary checks as referred to in Article 6(1)(b) of this Decision

This list sets out composite products and foodstuffs according to the goods nomenclature in use in the Union which do not need to be submitted to veterinary checks at a border inspection post.

Notes relating to the table:

Column (1) — CN code U.K.

This column indicates the CN code. The CN, established by Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87, is based on the international Harmonised Commodity Description and Coding System (HS) drawn up by the Customs Cooperation Council, now the World Customs Organisation (WCO), adopted by the International Convention, concluded in Brussels on 14 June 1983 and approved on behalf of the European Economic Community by Decision 87/369/EEC ( the HS Convention ). The CN reproduces the headings and subheadings of the HS to six digits, with only the seventh and eighth figures creating further subheadings which are specific to it.

Where a four digit code is used: unless otherwise specified, all composite products and foodstuffs prefixed with or covered by these four digits are not required to be submitted to veterinary checks at a border inspection post.

Where only certain specified products under any four, six or eight digit code contain animal products and no specific subdivision under this code exists in the CN, the code is marked ex (for example, ex 2001 90 65 : veterinary checks not required for the products outlined in Column (2)).

Column (2) — Explanation U.K.

This column gives details of the composite products and foodstuffs covered by the derogation from veterinary checks at border inspection posts. When necessary, official veterinarians at border inspection posts must assess the ingredients of a composite product and foodstuff and specify, if the animal product contained in the composite product and foodstuffs is sufficiently processed so as to not require the veterinary checks provided for in Union legislation.
