| Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 178/2002 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 28 January 2002 laying down the general principles and requirements of food law, establishing the European Food Safety Authority and laying down procedures in matters of food safety [1], and in particular Article 53(1)(b)(ii) thereof, | Wara li kkunsidrat ir-Regolament (KE) Nru 178/2002 tal-Parlament Ewropew u tal-Kunsill tat-28 ta' Jannar 2002 li jistabbilixxi l-prinċipji ġenerali u l-ħtiġijiet tal-liġi dwar l-ikel, li jistabbilixxi l-Awtorità Ewropea dwar is-Sigurtà fl-Ikel u jistabbilixxi l-proċeduri fi kwistjonijiet ta' sigurtà tal-ikel [1], u b’mod partikolari l-Artikolu 53(1)(b)(ii) tiegħu, |
| Article 53 of Regulation (EC) No 178/2002 provides for the possibility to adopt appropriate Union emergency measures for food and feed imported from a third country in order to protect public health, animal health or the environment, where the risk cannot be contained satisfactorily by means of measures taken by the Member States individually. | L-Artikolu 53 tar-Regolament (KE) Nru 178/2002 jipprevedi l-possibbiltà li jiġu adottati miżuri ta’ emerġenza tal-Unjoni xierqa għall-ikel u l-għalf importati minn pajjiż terz biex titħares is-saħħa pubblika, is-saħħa tal-annimali jew l-ambjent, u dan meta r-riskju ma jistax jiġi kkontrollat b’mod sodisfaċenti permezz ta’ miżuri li jittieħdu mill-Istati Membri individwalment. |
| Following the accident at the Fukushima nuclear power station on 11 March 2011, the Commission was informed that radionuclide levels in certain food products originating in Japan exceeded the action levels in food applicable in Japan. | Wara l-aċċident fl-impjant nukleari ta’ Fukushima fil-11 ta’ Marzu 2011, il-Kummissjoni ġiet infurmata li l-livelli ta' radjonuklidi f’ċerti prodotti tal-ikel li joriġinaw mill-Ġappun qabżu l-livelli ta’ azzjoni fl-ikel applikabbli fil-Ġappun. |
| Such contamination may constitute a threat to public and animal health in the Union and therefore Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 297/2011 of 25 March 2011 imposing special conditions governing the import of feed and food originating in or consigned from Japan following the accident at the Fukushima nuclear power station [2]was adopted. | Kontaminazzjoni bħal din tista’ toħloq theddida għas-saħħa pubblika u tal-annimali fl-Unjoni u għalhekk ġie adottat ir-Regolament ta’ Implimentazzjoni tal-Kummissjoni (UE) Nru 297/2011 tal-25 ta' Marzu 2011 li jimponi kundizzjonijiet speċjali dwar l-importazzjoni ta’ għalf u ikel li joriġina jew ġej mill-Ġappun wara l-aċċident fl-impjant nukleari ta’ Fukushima [2]. |
| That Regulation was replaced by Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 961/2011 [3]which was later replaced by Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 284/2012 [4]. | Dak ir-Regolament ġie sostitwit bir-Regolament ta' Implimentazzjoni tal-Kummissjoni (UE) Nru 961/2011 [3]li aktar tard kien sostitwit bir-Regolament ta' Implimentazzjoni tal-Kummissjoni (UE) Nru 284/2012 [4]. |
| Implementing Regulation (EU) No 284/2012 has been amended several times to take into account the development of the situation. | Ir-Regolament (UE) Nru 284/2012 ġie emendat bosta drabi sabiex iqis l-iżvilupp tas-sitwazzjoni. |
| Since now further amendments are required, it is appropriate to replace Implementing Regulation (EU) No 284/2012 by a new Regulation. | Minħabba li jeħtieġu jsiru aktar emendi, huwa xieraq li r-Regolament ta’ Implimentazzjoni (UE) Nru 284/2012 jiġi sostitwit b’Regolament ġdid. |
| The existing measures have been reviewed taking into account more than 26000 occurrence data on radioactivity in feed and food provided by the Japanese authorities concerning the second growing season after the accident. | Il-miżuri eżistenti ġew riveduti filwaqt li ġiet meqjusa aktar minn 26000 dejta ta’ okkorrenza dwar ir-radjuattività fl-għalf u l-ikel provduta mill-awtoritajiet Ġappuniżi li jikkonċernaw it-tieni staġun ta' tkabbir wara l-inċident. |
