When the UK left the EU, legislation.gov.uk published EU legislation that had been published by the EU up to IP completion day (31 December 2020 11.00 p.m.). On legislation.gov.uk, these items of legislation are kept up-to-date with any amendments made by the UK since then.
Legislation.gov.uk publishes the UK version. EUR-Lex publishes the EU version. The EU Exit Web Archive holds a snapshot of EUR-Lex’s version from IP completion day (31 December 2020 11.00 p.m.).
This is the original version as it was originally adopted in the EU.
This legislation may since have been updated - see the latest available (revised) version
1.The competent authority or authorities, and those which carry out official controls, in cooperation with port and airport operators and with operators responsible for other points of entry for personal consignments of products of animal origin, shall organise effective controls at points of entry into the Community.
2.The controls provided for in paragraph 1 shall aim at detecting the presence of personal consignments of products of animal origin and at verifying that the conditions laid down in Article 2 are met.
3.The controls provided for in paragraph 1 may be organised using a risk based approach, including, if judged necessary by the competent authority of the Member State, the use of effective detection aids, such as scanning equipment and detector dogs, to screen large volumes of personal baggage for the presence of personal consignments of products of animal origin.
