The empowerment under Article 3(2) has not been used during the reporting period as no request to authorise a substance other than potable water to remove surface contamination from products of animal origin with a favourable EFSA opinion has been made to the Commission.
The empowerment under Article 8(3), point (a), has not been used during the reporting period because there was no need to adapt the requirements on special guarantees.
The empowerment under Article 10(2) has not been used during the reporting period because there was no need to grant derogations from Annexes II and III.
The Commission is currently preparing a Delegated Regulation amending Annexes II and III of Regulation (EC) No 853/2004 as regards specific requirements for certain meat, fishery products, dairy products and eggs.
4. CONCLUSION
The Commission sees the need to extend the empowerments conferred to it under Regulation (EC) No 853/2004, in accordance with Article 11a(2) of that Regulation, as it may have to act in the respective areas in the future. The extension of the delegation of powers will be particularly important to provide the necessary flexibility of this legal framework, to complement and adjust it regularly, taking into account in particular the experience gained by food business operators or competent authorities, the experience gained by the Commission, the technological developments, scientific advice and changes in pattern of consumption.With this report, the Commission complies with the reporting requirement under Article 11a(2) of Regulation (EC) No 853/2004 and invites the European Parliament and the Council to take note of this report.
