Official Controls Regulation - REGULATION (EU) 2017/625
Regulation (EU) 2017/625 covers official controls performed by national enforcement bodies to verify compliance with agri-food chain rules in a number of areas, including:
• food and food safety, food integrity and food safety during production, processing and distribution;
• the deliberate release into the environment of genetically modified organisms for the production of food and feed;
• feed and feed safety during production, processing, distribution and use;
• animal health and welfare;
• organic production and labelling.
The Regulation also covers imports of certain animals and goods:
• from non-EU areas subject to checks at border control posts;
• goods sold online.
The Regulation lays down common rules for EU official controls to ensure the correct application and enforcement of agri-food chain legislation for the protection of human health, animal health, animal welfare and plant health.
The Regulation introduces a more uniform and coherent approach to official controls and enforcement measures in the agri-food chain and reinforces the principle of risk-based controls.
