What is EU increased official controls (Reg. 2019/1793)?

The regulation that puts Indian cumin at a 30% pesticide check rate and Indian black pepper at 50% for Salmonella at the EU border.

The read

Reg. (EU) 2019/1793 lists specific origin–product–hazard combinations for increased documentary, identity and physical checks. For India the material entries are cumin (pesticide residues, 30% — raised January 2025) and black pepper (Salmonella, 50%). A listed consignment needs matching accredited test evidence to clear reliably; failure means detention and, at scale, RASFF notifications.
