Controls Regulation)(1), and in particular Article 53(1), point (a), thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Regulation (EU) 2017/625 establishes the framework for official controls and other official activities to verify
compliance with Union agri-food chain legislation. That framework includes official controls performed on animals
and goods entering the Union from third countries.
(2) Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2019/2123(2)lays down rules for the cases where and the conditions under
which competent authorities may perform identity and physical checks on certain consignments referred to in
Article 1(1), point (a), of that Regulation at a control point other than the border control post.
(3) Article 2(1), point (d), of Delegated Regulation (EU) 2019/2123 provides that the operator notifies the competent
authorities of the control point where identity and physical checks are to be performed of the expected time of
arrival of the consignment and of the means of transport by completing and submitting a separate Common Health
Entry Document (‘CHED’) into the information management system for official controls.
(4) In order to ensure an adequate traceability of the consignment transferred to a control point other than the border
control post and to allow the relevant authorities to be informed of the outcome of the official controls and of any
decision on that consignment, operators should be required to link the two CHEDs.
