Dear Sir/Madam, UPDATE ON UK DEPARTURE FROM EUROPEAN UNION (EU): CHANGES TO IMPORTS OF PLANTS AND PLANT PRODUCTS FROM 1 JANUARY 2021

On the 31 December 2020 the UK’s transition period with the European Union comes to an end and I am writing to notify you of some changes to our phytosanitary import controls which may affect exports for your country from 1 January 2021. The changes being made are based on the principles set out in the WTO-SPS

Agreement and further details are included in Annex 1 to this letter. These changes only apply to imports into Great Britain (England, Wales and Scotland). Northern Ireland remains within in the European Union’s (EU) Sanitary

and Phytosanitary (SPS) area, so EU import requirements will continue to apply to imports into Northern Ireland. Please note that certain notifications may have been made to the EU while the UK

was a member state, based on EU legislation. These notifications are no longer applicable to the UK and certain requirements have changed. Therefore, it is important that all relevant notifications are received directly by the UK NPPO before 1 January 2021. A template to provide these notifications can be found in Annex 2

to this letter and once competed it should be emailed to [email protected] There will be no changes to the operational processes for importing into GB from non-EU countries, for example pre-notification will continue to be required and

checks will still be carried out at Border Control Posts. The IT systems used to facilitate the pre-notification of imports of plants and other regulated articles will be changing, moving from the current PEACH system to a new

service. However, GB importers will continue to use the existing system until they are directed to register for the new service. The timing and sequencing of this migration will ensure a smooth and orderly transfer between systems, and will allow sufficient time for exporters to become familiar with the new service. Technical

support will be available during, and after migration. For any direct imports to

Scotland, importers should continue to notify the Scottish Government until the new GB wide IT system is rolled out.

Further details on the UK’s phytosanitary import controls will be available on the United Kingdom's country profile page on the International Phytosanitary Portal. Any questions regarding this letter or the changes being made should be directed to

Annex 1: Technical changes which have been made to GB legislation

How GB legislation is being amended

GB requirements, from 1st Jan 2021, are described in the retained EU law. For plant health, this retained EU law is the EU Plant Health

Regulation (and it’s associated tertiary legislation) as it stands on 31st Dec 2020 and as amended by The Plant Health (Amendment etc.) (EU

Exit) Regulations 2020 and The Plant Health (Phytosanitary Conditions) (Amendment) (EU Exit) Regulations 2020. Jointly, these instruments

create the retained EU law applicable to plant health.

GB requirements are no longer set out in the EU PCR, they have all been captured in The Plant Health (Phytosanitary Conditions) (Amendment) (EU Exit) Regulations 2020. All references to schedules in the follow table are to the schedules in this piece of legislation.

Mr Harun Seçkin

Director General General Directorate of Food And Control Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry Republic of Turkey

9 December 2020

Dear Mr Seçkin UPDATE ON THE UK’S ARRANGEMENTS FOR TRADE IN LIVE ANIMALS AND ANIMAL PRODUCTS AT THE END OF THE TRANSITION PERIOD ON 31 DECEMBER 2020 I am writing to update you on the UK’s arrangements for international trade in live animals and animal products from 1 January 2021. I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your continued support during the current outbreaks of avian influenza in poultry in the UK. The United Kingdom continues to value the agricultural relationship with the Republic of Turkey and my colleagues, and I look forward to further collaboration with the Turkish Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry following the implementation of our bilateral Free Trade Agreement. The UK has a reputation for safety and quality across the agri-food chain that is maintained and developed through a robust regulatory and assurance framework. Following the Transition Period, the UK will continue to provide the same high level of assurance of its food safety and biosecurity controls and standards to ensure that a smooth and orderly approach to trade can continue. This is reflected in existing European Union (EU) rules and standards being enshrined in UK law under the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018 and secondary legislation (Statutory Instruments) made under the Act. A number of administrative changes are taking place at the end of the Transition Period, reflecting that the UK will operate its own trade regime from 1 January 2021. Certain changes relate specifically to the Northern Ireland Protocol, which was agreed between the UK and EU in 2019. Under the terms of the Protocol, Northern Ireland will continue to apply the EU’s rules for SPS and marketing standards following the Transition Period. This means that Northern Ireland and Great Britain (comprising England, Wales and Scotland) may be subject to different rules for SPS and marketing standards; details of these are set out in the Annexes as appropriate. This letter sets out key changes that will apply to:

Food labelling and health marks

Export health certificates

Pre-notification for border control purposes

Market access arrangements for imports to the UK

Marketing standards for eggs, poultry meat, beef and veal. Annexes to this letter are as follows: Annex A: UK exports of food products of animal origin (POAO) to non-EU countries:

UK identification and health marks Annex B: UK exports and imports of pre-packaged food: changes to food labelling Annex C: UK exports and imports of animals and animal products from non-EU

countries: Export Health Certificates (EHCs) Annex D: Imports of live animals, animal products and high risk food not of animal

origin into Great Britain from non-EU countries: Replacement of TRACES with IPAFFS for pre-notification

Annex E: UK imports of animals and animal products from non-EU countries: listing

of approved countries, commodities and establishments Annex F: UK imports of eggs and certain types of poultry meat, beef and veal from

non-EU countries: marketing standards regulations Annex G: UK points of contact I would like to thank you for your constructive engagement on matters of Sanitary and Phytosanitary measures in our trade negotiations and look forward to our continued cooperation in this field. As UK negotiators have stated, the United Kingdom will continue to recognise all Turkish Authorised Establishments currently listed in the EU. Further detail is set out in Annex E. I would appreciate your assistance in cascading all messages in this letter to the relevant Competent Authorities in your country / territory as well as to ports and border control posts to help avoid any disruption to trade. I would appreciate if you could confirm receipt of this letter by contacting [email protected]. Please could you also confirm acknowledgement that exports from the UK to your country will be subject to a period of transition with regard to packaging and health/identification marks, as set out in Annexes A and B. You can also use the [email protected] email address for any comments or questions you may have regarding this letter and its Annexes. Yours sincerely PROFESSOR CHRISTINE MIDDLEMISS UK CHIEF VETERINARY OFFICER [email protected]

Annex A: UK exports of food products of animal origin (POAO) to non-EU Countries: UK

identification and health marks

Following the Transition Period (ending 31 December 2020), the form of the health and

identification marks applied to products of animal origin (POAO) produced in the UK will change.

1. Existing health and identification marks

The health and identification marks for POAO for export from the UK to non-EU countries are

currently in this format:

2. Future health and identification marks

Health and identification marks applied after the transition period will be presented in the

following formats:



4

3. Key changes

For POAO produced in Great Britain (England, Scotland and Wales):

the ‘EC’ suffix will be removed from health and identification marks

the marks will carry the full country name ‘United Kingdom’ or an abbreviated code

‘GB’ or ‘UK’.

For POAO produced in Northern Ireland:

the health and identification marks will continue to display the ‘EC ‘suffix

The marks will carry the full country name ‘United Kingdom (Northern Ireland)’ or an

abbreviated code, ‘UK(NI)’

In all cases, the approval number of the establishment, which provides the traceability

required, will remain unchanged.



5

4. Exemption for eggs for human consumption and hatching eggs

Eggs in shell for human consumption and hatching eggs produced in the UK do not need to

carry the UK identification/health mark outlined above and will continue to be marked in the

same way as they are now. However, in some cases, such exported eggs may carry an

additional ISO code (GB, GBR or 826) either instead of, or in addition to, the current marking.

This may be because such eggs have been batch marked before the exact export destination

is decided. Similarly, hatching eggs may also carry the word ‘hatching’.

In all cases, eggs in shell for human consumption and hatching eggs produced in the UK will

guarantee the same high standards and quality following the transition period.

5. Period of transition for goods on the market

You may continue to receive products carrying the ‘UK/EC’ health and identification marks (see

point 1 above) for a significant period of time. These marks continue to be valid marks, and

relate to products produced in the UK before the end of the Transition Period. As the supply

chain depletes itself of old stocks which bear these health and identification marks, you will see

a gradual change to the new health and identification marks (see point 2 above).

All consignments and products certified using any form of the health and identification mark in

the United Kingdom, with or without the ‘EC’ suffix, continues to be a guarantee of our

continuing high standards and quality delivering official controls.

Annex B: UK exports and imports of pre-packaged food: changes to food labelling Following the Transition Period, certain requirements for food labelling will change. This applies to all pre-packaged food products. 1. Changes to labelling for food imported to the UK (Great Britain and Northern Ireland) Food placed on the market in both Great Britain and Northern Ireland Packaging will need to display an address for both Great Britain and the EU, or a single address in Northern Ireland. A single address in Great Britain will not be sufficient. Food placed on the market in Great Britain only (England, Wales and Scotland) This packaging must display the name and address of the UK Food Business Operator (FBO) responsible for the information presented on the label. If the FBO is not established in the UK, the name and UK address of the importer into the UK will need to be provided. Food placed on the market in Northern Ireland only Packaging will need an address in either Northern Ireland or the EU. A single address in Great Britain will not be sufficient. Period of transition for imports into Great Britain currently using an EU address If you currently import into Great Britain using an EU FBO or importer address, packaging can continue to use this until 30 September 2022 in order to allow for supply chains to deplete. Where necessary, over-stickering may be used to make corrections for placing food on the UK market. This can take place after importation of the food, but must be before the food is placed on the market. Over-stickers must be designed and applied in such a way as to maintain compliance with all other food labelling rules. 2. Changes to labelling for food exported from the UK Food and ingredients that originate in Great Britain Goods that are placed on the market after 1 January will no longer carry the term ‘EU’ and instead will begin to state ‘Origin UK’. Food or ingredients that originate in Northern Ireland Labelling can continue to use the term ‘EU’ after 1 January, or alternatively may be labelled as ‘Origin UK/NI’. Period of transition for goods on the market You may continue to receive food products that bear reference to the EU for some time. This will relate to food placed on the market before the end of the transition period, and will apply until stocks of the food are depleted. Stocks of goods such as frozen, dried or canned goods may continue to be available on the market for a significant period of time.

Annex C: UK exports and imports of animals and animal products from non-EU

countries: Export Health Certificates (EHCs)

1. EHCs accompanying exports from the United Kingdom (Great Britain and Northern

Ireland)

The EHCs that accompany UK (Great Britain and Northern Ireland) consignments of live

animals and animal products to your country, including references to EU legislation, processes

and standards, will remain the same from 1 January 2021 unless changes are required by

either trading partner.

Unique establishment codes for animal products exported from the United Kingdom

However, the format of the unique identification codes for UK establishments approved to

export animal products to non-EU countries will change on 1 January 2021. From this time,

establishment approval numbers on EHCs, where required, will no longer include a ‘UK’ prefix

or ‘EC’ suffix. Instead, they will be in the format ‘1234’ or ‘AB 123’. This means that they will no

longer be identical to the health and identification marks displayed on products of animal origin

(POAO), which will continue to carry a prefix as set out in Annex A.

2. EHCs accompanying imports into Great Britain

From 1 January 2021, live animals and animal products that you import into Great Britain, the

Channel Islands or the Isle of Man will need to be accompanied by new EHCs. These are being

published online and are accessible at the following link:

www.gov.uk/government/collections/health-certificates-for-animal-and-animal-product-

imports-to-great-britain

Period of transition for EHCs accompanying imports into Great Britain

As a temporary measure, to allow you time to incorporate the new EHCs into your export

systems and to ensure there are no complications for goods that have already departed for

Great Britain, our authorities will accept existing EU model EHCs dated up to and including 31

March 2021.

We recognise that each country has different systems that need updating and as we approach

31 March 2021 we will review the need for a further maximum three months’ extension.

Transitioning to the GB EHCs should be completed as a matter of priority to ensure that the

new GB certification is successfully implemented while the temporary measures are in place.

Annex D: Imports of live animals, animal products and high-risk food not of animal origin into Great Britain from non-EU countries: Replacement of TRACES with IPAFFS for pre-notification

1. Imports into Great Britain (England, Scotland and Wales)

The new Import of Products, Animals, Food and Feed System (IPAFFS) will replace the EU

TRACES system for pre-notification of imports of live animals, animal products and high-risk

food not of animal origin (HRFNAO) into Great Britain (England, Wales and Scotland).

Pre-notification on IPAFFS must be provided by GB import agents - it cannot be raised by your

exporters. You will therefore need to ensure that your exporters liaise with their import agents

to raise the relevant pre-notification.

IPAFFS should be used instead of TRACES for pre-notification of live animal imports to Great

Britain from 23 November 2020 and must be used for all import pre-notifications from 6am, 7

December 2020.

Further information on IPAFFS is accessible at the following link:

www.gov.uk/guidance/importing-live-animals-or-animal-products-from-non-eu-countries 2. Imports into Northern Ireland

The EU TRACES system must continue to be used to provide pre-notification of imports to

Northern Ireland.

Annex E: UK imports of animals and animal products from non-EU countries: listing of approved countries, commodities and establishments for SPS purposes

1. Continued recognition on 1 January 2021 of the status of countries approved to import live animals and animal products into the UK

From 1 January 2021, existing EU rules and standards will be enshrined in UK law under the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018 and associated legislation.

This means that the UK will continue to recognise the status of countries, commodities and establishments currently approved to import live animals and animal products into the UK.

The UK will, from this time, manage its lists of approved countries and commodities for import into Great Britain (England, Scotland and Wales) independently from the EU. Northern Ireland will, however, remain aligned with the EU’s lists under the Northern Ireland Protocol.

For additions, deletions or changes to your country’s approved establishments please contact: [email protected]

SPS trade assurance for imports of live animals and animal products into the UK

From 1 January 2021, the UK will assess and inspect trading partners who apply for market access to Great Britain to ensure that import conditions for food and feed safety and standards, animal health and animal welfare are properly met. This will ensure the UK maintains a high level of protection of human and animal health for its citizens and businesses.

SPS trade assurance will be coordinated by Defra on behalf of the UK Government. Different rules will apply in Northern Ireland to Great Britain to reflect that Northern Ireland is aligned with the EU through the Northern Ireland Protocol on SPS matters.

2. Contact details for UK SPS Trade Assurance

Defra can be contacted at [email protected] for enquiries relating to:

1. Market Access to the UK for live animals, products of animal origin, germinal products, animal by-products and hay and straw, including for new applications and changes to existing import conditions

2. Co-ordination of inspections following a new application, a review of import restrictions, or following an incident or outbreak

3. Updates to approved establishment lists for imports into Great Britain; and

4. The UK’s agri-food regulatory and assurance system.

Enquiries can only be accepted from your Competent Authority; any other enquiries will not be processed.

Annex F: UK imports of eggs, certain types of poultry meat, beef and veal from non-EU

countries into the UK: marketing standards regulations

Marketing standards requirements are in addition to, and separate from, the SPS requirements

that you must meet.

1. Import of eggs in shell into Great Britain (England, Scotland and Wales)

Before eggs in shell for human consumption can be imported into Great Britain from your

country, the UK needs to make a determination of equivalence relating to your egg marketing

standards. The determination of equivalence includes an evaluation of the rules on labelling

and marketing, farming methods and controls and an assessment of whether the requirements

contained in the legislation in place in the UK are effectively met by operators in your country.

Please contact [email protected] for further information.

2. Import of eggs in shell to Northern Ireland

If you currently import eggs in shell for human consumption into Northern Ireland, you can

continue to do so following the Transition Period.

3. Import of poultry meat into Great Britain

If you wish to import poultry meat labelled with certain optional indicators (see below) into Great

Britain, these consignments must be accompanied by a certificate signed by your competent

authority attesting that the consignment complies with the Poultrymeat Marketing Standards

Regulations in force in Great Britain. You must inform us who this competent authority is in

advance of the first shipping of such poultry meat.

This requirement applies to poultry meat which carries any of the following labelling terms:

An indication of the farming method:

fed with … % …

extensive indoor or barn-reared

free range

traditional free range

free range total freedom.

An indication of the chilling method relating to the following methods:

air-chilling

air-spray chilling

immersion chilling.

4. Import of poultry meat to Northern Ireland

If you currently import poultry meat labelled any of the aforementioned optional indicators into

Northern Ireland, you can continue to do so following the Transition Period.

5. Imports of beef and veal into Great Britain

If you currently import beef and veal from animals slaughtered at less than 12 months of age

into Great Britain, you must inform Defra who your Competent Authority is and they must

provide Defra with a list of approved operators for beef and veal labelling by 31 December

2020. Thereafter, any new operator must be notified to Defra by your Competent Authority

before it sends its first consignment.


6. Imports of beef and veal into Northern Ireland

If you currently import beef and veal slaughtered at less than 12 months of age into Northern

Ireland, you can continue to do so following the Transition Period.
