COMMISSION REGULATION (EU) No 744/2012

of 16 August 2012

amending Annexes I and II to Directive 2002/32/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council as regards maximum levels for arsenic, fluorine, lead, mercury, endosulfan, dioxins, Ambrosia spp., diclazuril and lasalocid A sodium and action thresholds for dioxins

(Text with EEA relevance)

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,

Having regard to Directive 2002/32/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 7 May 2002 on undesirable substances in animal feed (1), and in particular Article 8(1) thereof,

Whereas:

| (1) | Directive 2002/32/EC provides that the use of products intended for animal feed which contain levels of undesirable substances exceeding the maximum levels laid down in Annex I to that Directive is prohibited. Its Annex II sets action thresholds triggering investigations in cases of increased levels of such substances. |
| --- | --- |

(1)

Directive 2002/32/EC provides that the use of products intended for animal feed which contain levels of undesirable substances exceeding the maximum levels laid down in Annex I to that Directive is prohibited. Its Annex II sets action thresholds triggering investigations in cases of increased levels of such substances.

| (2) | Higher maximum levels (MLs) of arsenic, fluorine, lead and mercury have been established for the feed material calcium carbonate and higher MLs of arsenic and fluorine for the feed material magnesium oxide but not for the feed material calcium and magnesium carbonate, which is the natural mixture of calcium carbonate and magnesium carbonate. For reasons of consistency, it is appropriate to align the MLs for arsenic, fluorine, lead and mercury in the feed material calcium and magnesium carbonate with the existing MLs in calcium carbonate. |
| --- | --- |

(2)

Higher maximum levels (MLs) of arsenic, fluorine, lead and mercury have been established for the feed material calcium carbonate and higher MLs of arsenic and fluorine for the feed material magnesium oxide but not for the feed material calcium and magnesium carbonate, which is the natural mixture of calcium carbonate and magnesium carbonate. For reasons of consistency, it is appropriate to align the MLs for arsenic, fluorine, lead and mercury in the feed material calcium and magnesium carbonate with the existing MLs in calcium carbonate.

| (3) | The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) concluded in its Scientific Opinion on safety and efficacy of di copper chloride trihydroxide (tribasic copper chloride, TBCC) as feed additive (2) that it would be appropriate to set the same ML of arsenic in this additive as the ML of arsenic in cupric sulphate pentahydrate and cupric carbonate. It is appropriate to modify the ML of arsenic in di copper chloride trihydroxide. |
| --- | --- |

(3)

The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) concluded in its Scientific Opinion on safety and efficacy of di copper chloride trihydroxide (tribasic copper chloride, TBCC) as feed additive (2) that it would be appropriate to set the same ML of arsenic in this additive as the ML of arsenic in cupric sulphate pentahydrate and cupric carbonate. It is appropriate to modify the ML of arsenic in di copper chloride trihydroxide.

| (4) | Certain compound feed for pet animals contain a significant proportion of the feed materials fish, other aquatic animals and products derived thereof and/or seaweed meal. These feed materials contain a high level of total arsenic. However the presence of arsenic in these feed materials is mainly as organic arsenic, which is the less toxic form. It is therefore appropriate to modify the ML of arsenic applicable to complementary and complete feed for pet animals, containing fish, other aquatic animals and products derived thereof and/or seaweed meal. |

It is therefore appropriate to modify the ML of arsenic applicable to complementary and complete feed for pet animals, containing fish, other aquatic animals and products derived thereof and/or seaweed meal.

| (5) | The two zeolite minerals, natrolite and clinoptilolite are the active constituents of natrolite-phonolite (E566) and clinoptilolite of volcanic origin (E567). Therefore it is appropriate to apply the same ML for lead in natrolite-phonolite (E566) as in clinoptilolite of volcanic origin (E567). |

The two zeolite minerals, natrolite and clinoptilolite are the active constituents of natrolite-phonolite (E566) and clinoptilolite of volcanic origin (E567). Therefore it is appropriate to apply the same ML for lead in natrolite-phonolite (E566) as in clinoptilolite of volcanic origin (E567).

| (6) | In view of increasing the sustainability of the Salmonids fish farming, fish oil is progressively replaced by the use of vegetable oils. However, this substitution, which would very favourable influence the sustainability of the marine environment, is in some cases not possible, because of the very low ML for endosulfan in complete feed for fish. At a request from the Commission the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) delivered a scientific opinion. In its statement on oral toxicity of endosulfan in fish (3), EFSA stated that no significant adverse effects were observed in fish (Atlantic salmon) exposed up to 0,1 mg/kg endosulfan in feed in open-sea cages and only minor adverse effects were observed in Salmon exposed to levels higher than the current ML in feed in tanks. From a limited study, there are some indications that exposure of Nile tilapia to endosulfan via feed in tanks caused adverse effects. Therefore it is appropriate to propose a higher ML for endosulfan in complete feed for Salmonids, to favour the evolution for increased sustainability of the fish farming without resulting in adverse effects for fish health and human health. |

Therefore it is appropriate to propose a higher ML for endosulfan in complete feed for Salmonids, to favour the evolution for increased sustainability of the fish farming without resulting in adverse effects for fish health and human health.

| (7) | Recent data indicate that the dioxin levels in crustacea meal, which is a by-product from food production and is used mainly in feed for ornamental fish at a level of 1 % to 3 % in the feed, are higher than the current ML. In order to enable the use of this meal for feed and to reduce the quantity of food waste without endangering animal and public health, it is appropriate to slightly increase the ML for dioxins in crustacea meal. |

| (8) | Directive 2002/32/EC has the objective to avoid the dissemination of viable seeds of Ambrosia spp. in the environment. Since the milling or the crushing destroys the germination capacity of the seeds, there is no need to clean the grains and seeds containing non-compliant levels of seeds of Ambrosia spp. before milling or crushing, on the condition that prevention measures are taken to avoid dissemination of Ambrosia spp. seeds into the environment during transport, storage or processing. |

| (9) | As regards the coccidiostats diclazuril and lasalocid A sodium, amendments should be made to take into account the recently granted authorisations of these substances provided for by Commission Regulation (EU) No 169/2011 of 23 February 2011 concerning the authorisation of diclazuril as a feed additive for guinea fowls (holder of authorisation Janssen Pharmaceutica N.V.) (4), Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 888/2011 of 5 September 2011 concerning the authorisation of diclazuril as a feed additive for turkeys for fattening (holder of authorisation Janssen Pharmaceutica N.V.) and amending Regulation (EC) No 2430/1999 (5) and Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 900/2011 of 7 September 2011 concerning the authorisation of lasalocid A sodium as a feed additive for pheasants, guinea fowl, quails and partridges other than laying birds (holder of authorisation Alpharma (Belgium) BVBA) (6). |

| (10) | Given that an increase of the ML for dioxins in crustacea meal is proposed, it is appropriate that also the action threshold applicable to crustacea meal provided for in Annex II to Directive 2002/32/EC is correspondingly increased. |

(5)

It has appeared from the various examinations made that plant protection products containing Adoxophyes orana granulovirus may be expected to satisfy, in general, the requirements laid down in Article 5(1)(a) and (b) and Article 5(3) of Directive 91/414/EEC, in particular with regard to the uses which were examined and detailed in the Commission review report. It is therefore appropriate to approve Adoxophyes orana granulovirus.

| (6) | Without prejudice to the obligations provided for in Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 as a consequence of approval, taking into account the specific situation created by the transition from Directive 91/414/EEC to Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009, the following should, however, apply. Member States should be allowed a period of six months after approval to review authorisations of plant protection products containing Adoxophyes orana granulovirus. Member States should, as appropriate, vary, replace or withdraw authorisations. By way of derogation from that deadline, a longer period should be provided for the submission and assessment of the update of the complete Annex III dossier, as set out in Directive 91/414/EEC, of each plant protection product for each intended use in accordance with the uniform principles. |

In order to avoid further difficulties it therefore appears necessary to clarify the duties of the Member States, especially the duty to verify that the holder of an authorisation demonstrates access to a dossier satisfying the requirements of Annex II to that Directive. However, this clarification does not impose any new obligations on Member States or holders of authorisations compared to the directives which have been adopted until now amending Annex I to that Directive or the Regulations approving active substances. |

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,

Having regard to Council Directive 2002/99/EC of 16 December 2002 laying down the animal health rules governing the production, processing, distribution and introduction of products of animal origin for human consumption (1), and in particular the introductory phrase of Article 8, the first subparagraph of point 1 of Article 8 and point 4 of Article 8 thereof,

Whereas:

| (1) | Commission Decision 2007/777/EC of 29 November 2007 laying down the animal and public health conditions and model certificates for imports of certain meat products and treated stomachs, bladders and intestines for human consumption from third countries and repealing Decision 2005/432/EC (2) lays down rules on imports into the Union and the transit and storage in the Union of consignments of meat products and consignments of treated stomachs, bladders and intestines, as defined in Regulation (EC) No 853/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 29 April 2004 laying down specific hygiene rules for food of animal origin (3). |

(1)

Commission Decision 2007/777/EC of 29 November 2007 laying down the animal and public health conditions and model certificates for imports of certain meat products and treated stomachs, bladders and intestines for human consumption from third countries and repealing Decision 2005/432/EC (2) lays down rules on imports into the Union and the transit and storage in the Union of consignments of meat products and consignments of treated stomachs, bladders and intestines, as defined in Regulation (EC) No 853/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 29 April 2004 laying down specific hygiene rules for food of animal origin (3).

| (2) | Part 2 of Annex II to Decision 2007/777/EC sets out the list of third countries or parts thereof from which the introduction of meat products and treated stomachs, bladders and intestines is authorised, provided that those commodities comply with the treatment referred to in that list. Where third countries are regionalised for the purposes of inclusion in that list, their regionalised territories are set out in Part 1 of that Annex. |

Part 2 of Annex II to Decision 2007/777/EC sets out the list of third countries or parts thereof from which the introduction of meat products and treated stomachs, bladders and intestines is authorised, provided that those commodities comply with the treatment referred to in that list. Where third countries are regionalised for the purposes of inclusion in that list, their regionalised territories are set out in Part 1 of that Annex.

| (3) | Part 4 of Annex II to Decision 2007/777/EC sets out the treatments referred to in Part 2 of that Annex, assigning a code to each of those treatments. That Part sets out a non-specific treatment ‘A’ and specific treatments ‘B’ to ‘F’ listed in descending order of severity. |
| --- | --- |

(3)

Part 4 of Annex II to Decision 2007/777/EC sets out the treatments referred to in Part 2 of that Annex, assigning a code to each of those treatments. That Part sets out a non-specific treatment ‘A’ and specific treatments ‘B’ to ‘F’ listed in descending order of severity.

| (4) | Following outbreaks of highly pathogenic avian influenza in certain areas of Israel, Decision 2007/777/EC, as amended by Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 532/2012 (4), provides that imports into the Union of meat products and treated stomachs, bladders and intestines of poultry, farmed feathered game, farmed ratites and wild game birds are authorised from the areas of that third country affected by the outbreak only if they have been subjected to the specific treatment ‘D’, pursuant to Part 4 of Annex II to Decision 2007/777/EC. The area in Israel affected by the outbreak to which regionalisation for animal health reasons applies is listed in the table in Part 1 of Annex II to that Decision. |

(4)

Following outbreaks of highly pathogenic avian influenza in certain areas of Israel, Decision 2007/777/EC, as amended by Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 532/2012 (4), provides that imports into the Union of meat products and treated stomachs, bladders and intestines of poultry, farmed feathered game, farmed ratites and wild game birds are authorised from the areas of that third country affected by the outbreak only if they have been subjected to the specific treatment ‘D’, pursuant to Part 4 of Annex II to Decision 2007/777/EC. The area in Israel affected by the outbreak to which regionalisation for animal health reasons applies is listed in the table in Part 1 of Annex II to that Decision.

| (5) | Israel successfully controlled the outbreaks of highly pathogenic avian influenza according to the submitted information on the favourable disease situation with respect to that disease. In addition, surveillance carried out by the competent authority in Israel during the period which has elapsed since the stamping out of the poultry on the infected poultry holdings and the cleaning and disinfection of those premises did not reveal any further spread of disease. |
