COMMISSION REGULATION (EU) No 294/2013  
of 14 March 2013  
amending and correcting Regulation (EU) No 142/2011 implementing Regulation (EC) No 
1069/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council laying down health rules as regards 
animal by-products and derived products not intended for human consumption and implementing 
Council Directive 97/78/EC as regards certain samples and items exempt from veterinary checks at 
the border under that Directive  
(Text with EEA relevance)  
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 down health rules as regards animal by-products and 
derived products not intended for human consumption and 
repealing Regulation (EC) No 1774/2002 (  1 ), and in particular 
Article 5(2), points (b) and (c) of the first subparagraph of 
Article 15(1) and the second subparagraph of Article 15(1), 
Article 18(3), points (a), (b) and (c) of the first subparagraph 
of Article 19(4) and the second subparagraph of Article 19(4), 
Articles 21(6)(c) and 32(3)(a), point (d) of the first subparagraph 
of Article 40, the first and third subparagraphs of Article 41(3) 
and Articles 42(2) and 45(4) thereof,  
Whereas:  
(1) Regulation (EC) No 1069/2009 lays down public and 
animal health rules for animal by-products and derived 
products, in order to prevent and minimise risks to 
public and animal health arising from those products. 
It also provides for the determination of an end point 
in the manufacturing chain for certain derived products, 
beyond which they are no longer subject to the 
requirements of that Regulation.  
(2) Commission Regulation (EU) No 142/2011 of 
25 February 2011 implementing Regulation (EC) No 
1069/2009 of the European Parliament and of the 
Council laying down health rules as regards animal by- 
products and derived products not intended for human 
consumption and implementing Council Directive 
97/78/EC as regards certain samples and items exempt 
from veterinary checks at the border under that Direc ­
tive (  2 ), lays down implementing rules for Regulation (EC) 
No 1069/2009, including rules on the determination of 
end points for certain derived products.  (3) In its opinion of 7 February 2011 on the capacity of 
oleochemical processes to minimise possible risks linked 
to TSE in Category 1 animal by-products (  3 ), the 
European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) concluded that 
the risks concerning the spread of Transmissible Spon ­
giform Encephalopathy (TSE) are significantly reduced 
after processing Category 1 material with hydrolytic fat 
splitting and hydrogenation. However, some uncertainties 
exist with regard to the reduction of TSE infectivity in 
oleochemical products derived from Category 1 material. 
For that reason, it cannot be safely assumed that those 
products are free from infectivity and therefore they 
could pose a risk if they entered the food and feed 
chain. Consequently, Article 3 of Regulation (EU) No 
142/2011 and Annexes XIV and XV thereto should be 
amended accordingly.  
(4) Article 18(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1069/2009 provides 
for derogations for the use of Categories 2 and 3 
materials for feeding certain animals which do not 
enter the food chain, including circus animals. Because 
certain circus animals belong to species normally used 
for food production, it is necessary to subject the feeding 
of those materials to circus animals to the conditions laid 
down in Article 13 of Regulation (EU) No 142/2011.  
(5) Article 19(1)(f) of Regulation (EC) No 1069/2009 
provides for a derogation for the disposal of bees and 
apiculture by-products by burning or burial on site, 
under conditions which prevent the transmission of 
risk to public or animal health. Article 15(c) of Regu ­
lation (EU) No 142/2011 refers to special rules for 
collection and disposal of bees and apiculture by- 
products. The introductory phrase of that ArticleEN 6.4.2013 Official Journal of the European Union L 98/1  
( 1 ) OJ L 300, 14.11.2009, p. 1.  
( 2 ) OJ L 54, 26.2.2011, p. 1.  (  3 ) EFSA Journal(2011); 9(2):1976.should therefore be corrected accordingly with a 
reference to special rules for collection and disposal of 
bees and apiculture by-products.  
(6) Article 36(3) of Regulation (EU) No 142/2011 provides 
for a transitional period until 31 December 2012 for the 
disposal of small quantities of Category 3 material 
referred to in Article 10(f) of Regulation (EC) No 
1069/2009. That transitional period should be 
extended for two additional years during which further 
data should be gathered on the collection, transport and 
disposal of the Category 3 material concerned.  
(7) Processed animal protein derived from animal by- 
products, other than Category 3 materials referred to in 
Article 10(n), (o) and (p) of Regulation (EC) No 
1069/2009, may be used as an ingredient for the 
production of processed petfood. Processed animal 
protein should not be declared as petfood unless it is 
mixed in appropriate proportions with other feeding 
substances which are normally consumed by the 
relevant species of pet animals. However, the producer 
of processed animal protein may dispatch the product to 
keepers of recognised kennels or packs of hounds and 
for feeding of dogs and cats in shelters for the 
production of mixed feed for dogs and cats. In such 
case, the product must be declared and labelled as 
processed animal protein. In the case of export of 
processed animal protein in addition to animal by- 
products legislation, the provisions of Regulation (EC) 
No 999/2001 of the European Parliament and of the 
Council (  1 ) also apply. In accordance with point E2 of 
Part III of Annex IV to the aforementioned Regulation 
export of processed animal protein must be subject to a 
written agreement between Member States of origin of 
the processed animal protein and the third country of 
destination. Such an obligation does not exist in case of 
export of petfood. Given the observed risk of inappro ­
priate use of rules on export of processed animal protein 
a more precise definition of petfood is required.  
(8) Transformation of animal by-products and derived 
products into biogas is authorised pursuant to Regulation 
(EC) No 1069/2009. The production of biogas leads to 
the generation of solid or liquid fractions. It is necessary 
to clarify that the requirements on the disposal of those 
residues apply to both fractions.  
(9) In its opinion of 30 November 2010 on the abiotic risks 
for public and animal health of glycerine as a co-product 
from the biodiesel production from Category 1 animal 
by-products (ABP) and vegetable oils (  2 ), EFSA 
acknowledged that glycerine which had been processed 
with method 1 referred to in Chapter III of Annex IV to 
Regulation (EC) No 142/2011 for the production of 
biodiesel is a safe material regarding the TSE risk. 
Glycerine as a co-product from biodiesel production may be transformed into biogas and digestion residues 
after biogas production and applied to land without risk 
to public and animal health within the national territory 
of the producing Member State, subject to the decision of 
the competent authority.  
(10) Animal by-products referred to in Article 13(f) of Regu ­
lation (EC) No 1069/2009 may be applied to land 
without processing if the competent authority does not 
consider they present a risk for the spread of any serious 
transmissible disease. The same products may be 
composted or transformed into biogas without prior 
processing.  
(11) The standard wording for the description of animal by- 
products and derived products in trade between Member 
States set out in Annex VIII to Regulation (EU) No 
142/2011 must be visibly and legibly displayed on the 
packaging, container or vehicle during transport and 
storage. The list of standard wordings should be 
extended in order to take account of trade in processed 
manure.  
(12) Article 48 of Regulation (EC) No 1069/2009 requires 
operators to inform the competent authority of the 
Member State of destination of their intention to 
dispatch consignments of Category 1 or 2 materials. 
Member States may conclude bilateral agreements to 
provide the services of their facilities for the purpose of 
cremating pet animals from other Member States sharing 
a common border. In such cases, the requirement laid 
down in Article 48(1) to (3) of Regulation (EC) No 
1069/2009 presents unnecessary additional adminis ­
trative burdens.  
(13) Chapter II of Annex X to Regulation (EU) No 142/2011 
sets out specific requirements for derived products which 
are intended for the production of feed materials. The 
wording of the derogation for the placing on the market 
of milk processed in accordance with national standards 
should be amended in order to also refer to milk-based 
and milk-derived products and thus to align Part II of 
Section 4 of that Chapter with the provisions in 
Article 10 of Regulation (EC) No 1069/2009, in 
particular to its point (f) with authorisation of processing 
certain former foodstuffs into material for feeding of 
farmed animals other than fur animals.  
(14) When former foodstuffs containing ingredients of animal 
origin are used as source material for the production of 
feed for farmed animals, specific requirements apply to 
prevent the risk of disease transmission to animals. 
However, if the former foodstuffs do not contain meat, 
fish or their products, their use for the production of 
feed destined to farmed animals should be permitted, 
provided that they do not pose any risk of transmission 
of diseases communicable to humans or animals.EN L 98/2 Official Journal of the European Union 6.4.2013  
( 1 ) OJ L 147, 31.5.2001, p. 1.  
( 2 ) EFSA Journal 2010;8(12):1934.(15) Article 32 of Regulation (EC) No 1069/2009 lays down 
conditions for placing on the market and use of organic 
fertilisers and soil improvers. Those products may be 
produced from Categories 2 and 3 materials in 
accordance with the requirements set out in Annex XI 
to Regulation (EU) No 142/2011. In case of processed 
animal protein of Category 3 material, specific 
production requirements laid down in Chapter II of 
Annex X to Regulation (EU) No 142/2011 must be 
respected including for processed animal protein where 
it is exclusively destined for use in petfood. For the sake 
of clarity it is necessary to amend Annex XI to Regu ­
lation (EU) No 142/2011 and to introduce references to 
any processing standards for processed animal proteins.  
(16) For the promotion of science and biodiversity research, a 
derogation should be granted to repositories, scientific 
organisations and museums as regards the collection, 
transport and use of animals or parts of animals 
preserved in media, embedded completely on micro- 
slides or as processed genetic samples. The requirements 
on game trophies and other preparations as set out in 
Chapter VI of Annex XIII to Regulation (EU) No 
142/2011 should be amended accordingly.  
(17) Table 2 of Section 1 of Chapter II of Annex XIV to 
Regulation (EU) No 142/2011 sets out requirements 
for imports of animal by-products into the Union. The 
wording of certain parts of Table 2 should be improved 
in order to provide clearer information. In case of certain 
commodities which may consist of animal by-products 
of different animals, the list of third countries authorised 
for the import of animal by-products of the relevant 
species in Table 2 should be amended accordingly. The 
changes should be reflected in the corresponding 
certificates set out in Annex XV to that Regulation.  
(18) Petfood may be produced from any Category 3 material 
other than the Category 3 materials referred to in 
Article 10(n), (o) and (p) of Regulation (EC) No 
1069/2009. The same rules which apply for placing on 
the market of petfood within the EU are to be applicable 
also for the import from third countries. Certificate 
Chapter 3(B) of Annex XV to Regulation (EU) No 
142/2011 should be extended with reference to 
Article 10(c) of Regulation (EC) No 1069/2009.  
(19) Certain requirements on the import of blood and blood 
products should be clarified, in particular those 
concerning the origin of the blood. Blood must come 
from safe sources which may be a slaughterhouse 
approved in accordance with the EU legislation, a 
slaughterhouse approved with national legislation of the 
third country or from live animals bred for such 
purposes. Blood from such safe sources may also be 
mixed. It is necessary to change the text of the relevant 
certificates accordingly. Annex XIV and the health certificates set out in Chapters 4(A), 4(C) and 4(D) of 
Annex XV to Regulation (EU) No 142/2011 should 
therefore be amended.  
(20) Annex XVI to Regulation (EU) No 142/2011 sets out 
rules on official controls regarding the feeding of necrop ­
hagous birds with Category 1 material. In accordance 
with Article 18 of Regulation (EC) No 1069/2009, the 
competent authority may authorise the feeding of 
Category 1 material to endangered or protected species 
of necrophagous birds and other species living in their 
natural habitat. The existing rules on official controls 
regarding the feeding of necrophagous birds should 
therefore be extended to all animals to which feeding 
of Category 1 material may be authorised according to 
Annex VI to Regulation (EU) No 142/2011.  
(21) Regulation (EU) No 142/2011 should therefore be 
amended accordingly.  
(22) In order to avoid disruptions of trade, a transitional 
period should be laid down during which imports of 
the commodities to which the provisions of Regulation 
(EU) No 142/2011, as amended by this Regulation, apply 
should be accepted by Member States in accordance with 
the rules in force prior to the entry into force/date of 
application of this Regulation.  
(23) 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,  
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
