Requirements as regards the use of pharmacologically active substances in food-producing animals and residues thereof in products of animal origin and composite products
Article 9
1. Food-producing animals, products of animal origin and composite products shall only enter the Union from third countries which provide guarantees that the controls on the use of pharmacologically active substances referred to in Annex I to Delegated Regulation (EU) 2022/1644 and on the residues thereof are at least equivalent to those required for the multiannual national control plans of Member States referred to in Article 4 of Implementing Regulation (EU) 2022/1646. 2. Where a third country authorises the use in food-producing animals of pharmacologically active substances which are not authorised for such animals in the Union, food-producing animals, products of animal origin and composite products shall only enter the Union insofar as that third country provides guarantees that No residues thereof are present in those animals and products. The methods of analysis used to demonstrate the absence of such residues shall comply with the requirements laid down in Annex I to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2021/808 or with requirements equivalent thereto.
