(1) Commission Regulation (EC) No 152/2009 of 27 January 2009 laying down the methods of sampling and analysis for the official control of feedOJ L 54, 26.2.2009, p. 1 . acknowledged the need to update the provisions concerning sampling to take into account the recent developments in the way feed are produced, stored, transported and marketed.

(2) The sampling for the official control of pesticide residues in and on feed of plant and animal origin has to be performed in accordance with Commission Directive 2002/63/EC of 11 July 2002 establishing Community methods of sampling for the official control of pesticide residues in and on products of plant and animal origin and repealing Directive 79/700/EECOJ L 187, 16.7.2002, p. 30 . . The sampling requirements provided for in Directive 2002/63/EC are minimum requirements and the sampling requirements provided for in this Regulation are in general at least equal to or stricter than these minimum requirements with the exception of the size of the final sample for certain commodities. With the inclusion of the provisions as regards the size of the final sample for the control of pesticide residues, the methods of sampling provided in this Regulation can also be applied for the control of pesticide residues.

(3) Commission Regulation (EU) No 619/2011OJ L 166, 25.6.2011, p. 9 . lays down the methods of sampling and analysis for the official control of feed as regards presence of genetically modified material for which an authorisation procedure is pending or the authorisation of which has expired. For sampling, Regulation (EU) No 619/2011 makes reference to the provisions of Regulation (EC) No 152/2009 whereby it establishes specific provisions as regards the size of sample. The amendments introduced by this Regulation include specific provisions as regards the size of samples; therefore the methods of sampling provided for by Regulation (EC) No 152/2009 as amended by this Regulation should also be applied to the control of compliance with Regulation (EU) No 619/2011.

(4) A period of time is needed to put the new method of sampling in place.

(5) Regulation (EC) No 152/2009 should therefore be amended accordingly.

(6) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health and neither the European Parliament nor the Council has opposed them,

This Regulation shall enter into force on the twentieth day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union .

It shall apply from 1 January 2014 .
