COUNCIL DIRECTIVE

of 22 January 1990

amending Directive 79/373/EEC on the marketing of compound feedingstuffs

(90/44/EEC)

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Article 43 thereof,

Having regard to the proposal from the Commission (1),

Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (2),

Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and Social Committee (3),

Whereas Directive 79/373/EEC (4), as last amended by Directive 87/235/EEC (5), lays down rules for the marketing of compound feedingstuffs within the Community;

Whereas under present Community legislation Member States may, in certain cases, waive the Community rules, particularly as regards labelling and the choice of ingredients;

Whereas, with a view to the completion of the internal market, all national derogations liable further to inhibit free movement of compound feedingstuffs or creating unequal conditions of competition should be eliminated;

Whereas the most appropriate method of eliminating all present disparities relating to labelling rules is to fix - at Community level - a list of declarations which, in each case, must be given or may be given on a voluntary basis by the person responsible for labelling;

Whereas, as regards labelling, the purpose of Directive 79/373/EEC is to ensure that stock farmers are informed objectively and as accurately as possible as to the composition and use of feedingstuffs; whereas it is important to ensure that the accuracy of the declarations made can be officially verified, in accordance with the relevant provisions laid down in the Directive, at all stages of marketing of the feedingstuffs;

Whereas the declaration of the ingredients in feedingstuffs constitutes, in certain cases, an important item of information for stock farmers;

Whereas the quantitative determination of the ingredients in feedingstuffs for production animals raises at the present time, as regards verification, difficulties, mainly because of the nature of the products used, of the complexity of the mixtures made or the manufacturing methods adopted;

Whereas, accordingly, it is appropriate - at this stage - to prefer, at least for feedingstuffs for production animals, a flexible declaration arrangement confined to the indication of the feedingstuff ingredients without stating their quantity; whereas the possibility must also be retained of creating categories making it possible to group under a single name several ingredients; whereas, since categories of ingredients have already been established by Commission Directive 82/475/EEC (6) for compound feedingstuffs intended for pets, similar provisions should be adopted for the other feedingstuffs;

Whereas special provisions are needed for the labelling of feedingstuffs for pets to allow for the special character of this kind of feedingstuff;

Whereas manufacturers of compound feedingstuffs must be free to provide the stock farmer with information other than that specifically laid down in Directive 79/373/EEC, but provision of such additional information should be made subject to certain conditions or restrictions to ensure fair competition between manufacturers and to ensure that such information is objective;

Whereas Directive 79/373/EEC now enables Member States to require that compound feedingstuffs be manufactured on the basis of specified ingredients or be free of certain ingredients; whereas the obstacles resulting from such limitations must be eliminated by adopting, at Community level, a list of ingredients used for the manufacture of compound feedingstuffs and a list of ingredients use of which must be prohibited for health reasons;

Whereas the list of ingredients which can be used in feedingstuffs cannot be exhaustive owing to the great diversity of products and by-products which may be used, to the constant development of food technology and to the need not to restrict the choice of manufacturers; whereas it is sufficient to draw up an inventory of the main ingredients normally used in the manufacture of compound feedingstuffs;

Whereas that inventory must specify the common names to be used to designate the various ingredients and the descriptions with which they must comply in order to qualify for such names;

Whereas the description given of the various ingredients might prove insufficient on its own to distinguish products which are very close but sometimes different in quality; whereas provision should be made for such special cases for the additional possibility of laying down minimum compositional requirements;

Whereas the list of ingredients which may be used in the manufacture of compound feedingstuffs is not exhaustive; whereas the Member States are accordingly required to allow compound feedingstuffs marketed within the Community to contain ingredients other than those included on the abovementioned list provided that such products are of sound, genuine and merchantable quality and that they are designated by specific names preventing any confusion with ingredients qualifying for a name established at Community level;

Whereas the establishment of the list of the main ingredients normally used and marketed for the preparation of compound feedingstuffs and the establishment of the list of ingredients use of which must be prohibited in the future are measures of a scientific nature; whereas, to facilitate the adoption of such measures, the procedure introducing close cooperation between the Member States and the Commission within the Standing Committee for Feedingstuffs should be followed;

Whereas, in order to ensure compliance with the requirements concerning compound feedingstuffs, Member States must provide for appropriate inspections by sampling not only during marketing but also during the manufacture of feedingstuffs; whereas the latter method of inspection may in particular cover the manufacturers' written records,

HAS ADOPTED THIS DIRECTIVE:

Article 1

Directive 79/373/EEC is hereby amended as follows:

1. The following point is added to Article 1 (2):

'(g) the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to the making up, by mass or by volume, of certain prepackaged products.'

2. The listing of ingredients shall be subject to the following rules:

(a) compound feedingstuffs intended for animals other than pets: listing of ingredients in descending order by weight; (b) compound feedingstuffs intended for pets: listing of ingredients either indicating the amount contained or naming them in descending order by weight.

3. The ingredients shall be described by their specific names; however, categories grouping several ingredients will be established in accordance with Article 10 (a); in that case, the indication of the specific name of the ingredient may be replaced by the name of the category to which the ingredient belongs.

Use of one of these two forms of declaration shall exclude use of the other save where one of the ingredients used belongs to none of the categories which have been defined; in that case the ingredient, designated by its specific name, shall be mentioned in order of importance by weight in relation to the categories.

4. Where no measure has been adopted under Article 10 (a), Member States may retain the ingredient categories they have determined and allow the indication of the ingredients to be replaced by that of the categories.

5. The labelling of compound feedingstuffs for pets may also draw particular attention to the presence or low content of one or more ingredients which are essential aspects of the characteristics of the feedingstuff. In such a case, the minimum or maximum content, expressed in terms of percentage by weight of the ingredient(s) incorporated, must be clearly indicated either opposite the declaration drawing special attention to the ingredient(s) or in the list of ingredients or by mentioning the ingredient(s) and the percentage(s) by weight concerned opposite the corresponding category of ingredients.

Article 5d

1. The minimum storage life shall be given by the following indications:

- "use before . . ." followed by the date (day, month and year) in the case of microbiologically highly perishable feedingstuffs;

- "best before . . ." followed by the date (month and year) in the case of other feedingstuffs.

Where other Community provisions concerning compound feedingstuffs require indication of a minimum storage life, only the earliest date shall be indicated.

2. The date of manufacture shall be expressed as follows:

"manufactured . . . . (days, months, or year(s)) before the minimum storage life expiry date indicated".

Where Article 5 (5) (d) applies, the abovementioned entry shall be followed by an indication of where that storage life is indicated.

Article 5e

The person responsible for the labelling particulars of a compound feedingstuff may provide information in addition to that required under this Directive.

However, such information:

- may not be designed to indicate the presence or content of analytical constituents other than those the declaration of which is provided for in Article 5,

- must not mislead the user, in particular by attributing to the feedingstuff effects or properties that it does not possess or by suggesting that it possesses special characteristics when in fact all similar feedingstuffs possess such characteristics,

- must not claim that the feedingstuff will prevent, treat or cure a disease,

- must relate to objective or quantifiable factors which can be substantiated,

- must be clearly separated from all the particulars specified in Article 5.'

6. Article 6 is replaced by the following:

'Article 6

Member States shall prescribe that the general provisions contained in Part A of the Annex shall apply to the marketing of compound feedingstuffs.'

2. Without prejudice to the measures referred to in Article 10 (c), Member States shall also allow the marketing of ingredients other than those on the list referred to in Article 10 (b) provided that they are of sound, genuine and merchantable quality and are declared under other names which cannot mislead the purchaser.'

9. Article 11 is replaced by the following:

'Article 11

For the purposes of marketing between the Member States, the particulars referred to in Article 5 shall be given in at least one of the national or official languages of the country of destination.'

10. Article 12 is replaced by the following:

'Article 12
