This Regulation lays down some amendments to Regulation (EC) No. 2160/2003 concerning the control of salmonella and other specified food-borne zoonotic agents. In particular, it amends Annex II, which establishes that eggs may only be used for direct human consumption as table eggs if they originate from a commercial flock of laying hens subject to a national control programme and not under official restriction. Part D of Annex II setting out specific requirements concerning flocks of laying hens is replaced by the text in Annex I to this Regulation. The model veterinary certificate for eggs laid down in Decision 2006/696/EC is replaced too.
