At the time of placing seal products on the market, they are to be accompanied by a document attesting compliance with the conditions set out in Article 3(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1007/2009 issued by a body recognised for that purpose by the Commission.

(4)On 4 August 2020, the Commission received a letter from the Department of Economic Development and Transportation of Nunavut dated 22 April 2020 requesting to amend the name of its recognised body to reflect a reorganisation inside the Government of Nunavut.

(5)The Department of Economic Development and Transportation of Government of Nunavut asked for the name ‘Department of Environment, Government of Nunavut’ to be changed to ‘Government of Nunavut’.

(6)The Department of Economic Development and Transportation of Government of Nunavut specified that this change of name did not imply any change in the function and role of the recognised body.

(7)The body ‘Government of Nunavut’ satisfies the requirements for recognised bodies set out in the third subparagraph of Article 3(1a) of Regulation (EC) No 1007/2009 and Article 3(1) of Implementing Regulation (EU) 2015/1850.

(8)It is therefore appropriate to recognise the body ‘Government of Nunavut’ as a body that is authorised to issue documents attesting compliance with the conditions set out in Article 3(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1007/2009,
