THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,  
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union , 
Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 1069/2009 of the European Parliament and of the 
Council of 21 October 2009 laying dow n health rules as regards animal by -products and 
derived products not intended for human consumption and repealing Regulation (EC) 
No 1774/20021, and in particular Article 29(4 and Article 41(4), thereof,  
Whereas:  
(1) Commission Regulation (EU) No 142/20112 lays down public and animal conditions 
for imports of gelatine , flavouring innards  and rendered fats . 
(2) Table 1 of Section 1 of Chapter I and Table 2 of Section 1 of Chapter II of Annex XIV 
to Regulation (EU) No 142/2011 set out requirements for imports into t he Union of 
animal by -products.  
(3) Egypt provided the Commission with sufficient guarantees for the controls by the 
competent authority on the production of gelatine. It is therefore justified to add Egypt 
to the list of third countries from where gelatine m ay be imported into the Union.  
(4) Flavouring innards for the manufacture of pet food may be obtained from domestic but 
also from wild animals slaughtered or killed for human consumption. It is opportune to 
align the list of third countries eligible for the import of flavouring innards with  a 
reference to the list of third countries authorised for the imports of wild game meat for 
human consumption.   
(5) Commission Regulation (EU) 2017/12613 introduced an alternative method, based on 
EFSA assessment4, for the production of renewable fuels. It i s opportune to allow 
imports of rendered fats referred to in Articles 8, 9 and 10 of Regulation (EC) No 
1069/2009 for the use in the new alternative method since the use of the same 
materials is allowed in the Union. Chapter II of Annex XIV to Regulation ( EU) No 
142/2011 should be amended accordingly.
