Commission Regulation (EU) 2022/488 of 25 March 2022 correcting the French language version of Regulation (EU) No 142/2011 implementing Regulation (EC) No 1069/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council laying down health rules as regards animal by-products and derived products not intended for human consumption and implementing Council Directive 97/78/EC as regards certain samples and items exempt from veterinary checks at the border under that Directive (Text with EEA relevance)
**Policy Summary**
Commission Regulation (EU) 2022/488 of 25 March 2022 addresses a correction to the French language version of Commission Regulation (EU) No 142/2011. Regulation 142/2011 implements Regulation (EC) No 1069/2009, which lays down health rules for animal by-products and derived products not intended for human consumption. It also implements Council Directive 97/78/EC regarding certain samples and items exempt from veterinary checks at the border. The French version of Regulation (EU) No 142/2011 contains an error in the title and point 1 of section 2 of Chapter VI of Annex XIV, specifically concerning the listing of third countries, which reverses the intended meaning. This regulation (2022/488) corrects this error in the French language version only. The other language versions of Regulation (EU) No 142/2011 are unaffected. This regulation entered into force on the twentieth day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union. The legal basis for this regulation is Regulation (EC) No 1069/2009, specifically Article 41(3) and Article 42(2). The Commission President, Ursula von der Leyen, signed the regulation.
