Description

Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2021/1342 supplements Regulation (EU) 2018/848 with rules on the information to be sent by third countries and by control authorities and control bodies for the purpose of supervision of their recognition under Article 33(2) and (3) of Council Regulation (EC) No 834/2007 for imported organic products and the measures to be taken in the exercise of that supervision.In order to ensure the appropriate supervision of the third countries recognised under Article 33(2) of Regulation (EC) No 834/2007, the draft Regulation clarifies and further specifies provisions concerning actions to be taken by the competent authorities of third countries following a notification by the Commission of a substantiated suspicion of an irregularity or infringement. It also obliges those competent authorities to use a specific template for reporting about the investigation and actions taken.In addition, the draft Regulation clarifies and provides for further grounds for measures to be taken by the Commission in the exercise of its supervision of recognised third countries, in particular grounds on which the Commission may withdraw the recognition of a third country.In order to ensure the appropriate supervision of the control authorities and control bodies recognised under Article 33(3) of Regulation (EC) No 834/2007, the draft Regulation provides for additional rules on the procedures for the regular review of their recognition.In particular, the draft Regulation provides for an obligation on control authorities and Control Bodies to notify the Commission in due time of the changes to its technical dossier. The draft Regulation also empowers the Commission to request any further information from the control authorities and control bodies at any time and to organise risk-based on the spot examinations of the control authorities and control bodies.Furthermore, the draft Regulation provides that control authorities and control bodies must carry out certain checks before certifying new operators or groups of operators.In addition, the draft Regulation clarifies and provides for further grounds for measures to be taken by the Commission in the exercise of its supervision of recognised control authorities and control bodies, in particular grounds on which the Commission may suspend or must withdraw the recognition of a control authority or control body.Finally, considering that Member State authorities have acquired substantial experience and expertise in the field of granting access to imported organic goods into the Union, the draft Regulation provides specific provisions for the roles of Member State authorities in assisting the Commission with the review of the recognitions of third countries and control authorities and control bodies.The draft rules will apply until end of 2024 as regards control authorities and control bodies and until end of 2026 as regards third countries.
