What the notification says

Latest notice (⁨G/SPS/N/EU/920/Add.1⁩, 24 July 2026)

Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2026/1052 of 12 May 2026 amending and correcting Delegated Regulation (EU) 2020/692 supplementing Regulation (EU) 2016/429 of the European Parliament and of the Council as regards rules for entry into the Union, and the movement and handling after entry of consignments of certain animals, germinal products and products of animal origin

The proposal notified in G/SPS/N/EU/920 (17 February 2026) is now adopted by Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2026/1052 of 12 May 2026 amending and correcting Delegated Regulation (EU) 2020/692 supplementing Regulation (EU) 2016/429 of the European Parliament and of the Council as regards rules for entry into the Union, and the movement and handling after entry of consignments of certain animals, germinal products and products of animal origin (Text with EEA relevance). This Regulation shall enter into force on the twentieth day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.

Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2020/692 supplements Regulation (EU) 2016/429 of the European Parliament and the Council as regards the animal health rules for entry into the Union and the movement and handling after entry of consignments of certain animals, germinal products and products of animal origin. Delegated Regulation (EU) 2020/692 applies from 21 April 2021. Since that date, that Delegated Regulation has been amended several times. Following these past amendments, some further minor errors have been detected in that Delegated Regulation. These mistakes and omissions should be corrected and changes introduced by amending Delegated Regulation (EU) 2020/692 accordingly. In addition, the experience gained on the application of that Delegated Regulation has shown the need to refine further several provisions related to the scope, application of specific conditions, animal identification, captive birds and their hatching eggs for conservation programmes, meat, dairy and egg products, eggs, composite products, vaccination programmes against highly pathogenic avian influenza, risk-mitigating treatments for milk and dairy products and egg products, aquatic and equine animals.
