COMMISSION REGULATION (EU) No 595/2010

of 2 July 2010

amending Annexes VIII, X and XI to Regulation (EC) No 1774/2002 of the European Parliament and of the Council laying down health rules concerning animal by-products not intended for human consumption

(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 1774/2002 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 3 October 2002 laying down health rules concerning animal by-products not intended for human consumption (1), and in particular the first and second subparagraph of Article 32(1) thereof,

Whereas:

| (1) | Regulation (EC) No 1774/2002 lays down animal and public health rules concerning animal by-products not intended for human consumption. It provides that processed animal protein and other processed products that could be used as feed material are to be placed on the market only if they have been processed in accordance with Annex VII to that Regulation. In addition, Regulation (EC) No 1774/2002 provides that petfood, dogchews and technical products and those animal by-products referred to in Annex VIII are to be placed on the market only if they meet the specific requirements set out in that Annex. |
| --- | --- |

Regulation (EC) No 1774/2002 lays down animal and public health rules concerning animal by-products not intended for human consumption. It provides that processed animal protein and other processed products that could be used as feed material are to be placed on the market only if they have been processed in accordance with Annex VII to that Regulation. In addition, Regulation (EC) No 1774/2002 provides that petfood, dogchews and technical products and those animal by-products referred to in Annex VIII are to be placed on the market only if they meet the specific requirements set out in that Annex.

| (2) | Chapter V of Annex VIII to Regulation (EC) No 1774/2002 currently sets out harmonised requirements for the placing on the market and importation of serum of equidae. However, certain Member States, trading partners and economic operators have indicated their interest in the use of blood and a wider range of blood products from equidae, both of Union and of third country origin, for technical purposes in the Union. In order to facilitate the use of such blood and of such blood products, it is necessary to lay down animal health requirements for their use for technical purposes. Such requirements should mitigate the potential risks of transmission of certain compulsorily notifiable diseases listed in Council Directive 90/426/EEC of 26 June 1990 on animal health conditions governing the movement and import from third countries of equidae (2), on the basis of available scientific evidence. In particular, blood should come from slaughterhouses that have been approved in accordance with 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) or from facilities approved and supervised by the competent authority of the third country for the purpose of blood collection, such as holdings where animals are kept under special health conditions. |

| (3) | Chapter X of Annex VIII to Regulation (EC) No 1774/2002 sets out requirements for the importation of horns and horn products (excluding horn meal) and hooves and hoof products (excluding hoof meal) intended for use other than as feed material, organic fertilizers or soil improvers. |

(3)

Chapter X of Annex VIII to Regulation (EC) No 1774/2002 sets out requirements for the importation of horns and horn products (excluding horn meal) and hooves and hoof products (excluding hoof meal) intended for use other than as feed material, organic fertilizers or soil improvers.

| (4) | Economic operators have indicated their interest in the use of such animal by-products for the production of organic fertilizers or soil improvers. However, the placing on the market, including the importation of such animal by-products should only be allowed if they originate from animals which are fit for slaughter for human consumption or which did not show clinical signs of any communicable disease and if a treatment has been applied to them which mitigates potential health risks. |

| (5) | In the case of horns, appropriate measures should be taken to prevent the transmission of transmissible spongiform encephalopathy (TSE) when the horns are removed from the skull. The Scientific Steering Committee issued an opinion on TSE infectivity distribution in ruminant tissues (4). According to that opinion, horns must be removed without opening the cranial cavity, to prevent cross-contamination with TSE agents. |

In the case of horns, appropriate measures should be taken to prevent the transmission of transmissible spongiform encephalopathy (TSE) when the horns are removed from the skull. The Scientific Steering Committee issued an opinion on TSE infectivity distribution in ruminant tissues (4). According to that opinion, horns must be removed without opening the cranial cavity, to prevent cross-contamination with TSE agents.

| (6) | Accordingly, a new Chapter XV should be added to Annex VIII to Regulation (EC) No 1774/2002 which specifies the health conditions for the placing on the market, including the importation, of horns and horn products, excluding horn meal, and hooves and hoof products, excluding hoof meal, which are intended for the production of organic fertilisers or soil improvers. |

| (7) | Annex X to Regulation (EC) No 1774/2002, as amended by Commission Regulation (EC) No 437/2008' (5), sets out a single model health certificate for milk and milk products not intended for human consumption originating in third countries for dispatch to or for transit through the Union. Chapter V of Annex VII to Regulation (EC) No 1774/2002 lays down specific requirements for the placing on the market and importation of milk, milk products and colostrum. Point 3 of Section A and point 1.5 of Section B of that Chapter lay down the requirements for whey that is to be fed to animals of species susceptible to foot-and-mouth disease. The model health certificate for the importation of milk and milk products not intended for human consumption is set out Chapter 2 of Annex X to Regulation (EC) No 1774/2002. The requirements for whey set out in that model certificate are stricter than the corresponding requirements for whey in intra-Union trade set out in Chapter V of Annex VII to that Regulation. Accordingly, that model certificate should be amended so that the requirements for the importation of whey are not less favourable than those applicable to the production and marketing of whey in intra-Union trade. The model health certificate in Chapter 2 of Annex X to Regulation (EC) No 1774/2002 should therefore be amended. |

The model health certificate in Chapter 2 of Annex X to Regulation (EC) No 1774/2002 should therefore be amended.

| (8) | Annex XI to Regulation (EC) No 1774/2002 sets out lists of third countries from which Member States may authorise imports of certain animal by-products not intended for human consumption with reference to Council Decision 79/542/EEC (6), Commission Decision 97/296/EC (7), Commission Decision 94/85/EEC (8), Commission Decision 94/984/EC (9), Commission Decision 2000/585/EC (10), Commission Decision 2000/609/EC (11), Commission Decision 2004/211/EC (12), Commission Decision 2004/438/EC (13) and Commission Decision 2006/696/EC (14). These legal acts have been considerably amended or replaced. Annex XI should be amended to take account of amendments made to those Union acts. |

These legal acts have been considerably amended or replaced. Annex XI should be amended to take account of amendments made to those Union acts.

| (9) | A transitional period should be provided for after the date of entry into force of this Regulation, in order to provide the necessary time for stakeholders to comply with the new rules and to allow for the continued importation into the Union of animal by-products, as provided for Regulation (EC) No 1774/2002, before the amendments introduced by this Regulation. |

1.   INTRODUCTION

This Annex lays down the rules for testing and/or checking braking systems and exhaust emissions during a technical roadside inspection. The use of equipment is not mandatory during roadside inspections. However, it will enhance the quality of inspections and, where possible, it is recommended.

Items that may only be checked by the use of equipment have been marked with an (E).

Where a method of inspection is given as visual, it means that in addition to looking at the items, the inspector should, if appropriate, also handle them, evaluate noise or use any other appropriate means of inspection without the use of equipment.

2.   INSPECTION REQUIREMENTS

Roadside technical inspections may cover items and use the methods listed below. Deficiencies are examples of defects that can be detected.

| Item | Method | Deficiencies |
| --- | --- | --- |

1.   INTRODUCTION

This Annex identifies the vehicle systems and components to be tested; it details the method of testing them and the criteria to be used when determining whether the condition of the vehicle is acceptable.

Where the vehicle is found to be defective with regard to the test items listed, the competent authorities in the Member States must adopt a procedure for setting the conditions under which the vehicle may be used before passing another roadworthiness test.

The test must cover at least the items listed below, provided that these are related to the equipment of the vehicle being tested in the Member State concerned.

The tests should be carried out using techniques and equipment currently available without the use of tools to dismantle or remove any part of the vehicle.

All the items listed should be considered as mandatory at a periodic test of vehicles, except those marked with the indication (X), which are related to the condition of the vehicle and its suitability for use on the road but which are not considered essential in a periodic test.

‘Reasons for failure’ do not apply in cases where they refer to requirements which were not prescribed in the relevant vehicle approval legislation at the time of first registration, first entry into service or retrofitting requirements.

Where a method of inspection is given as visual, it means that in addition to looking at the items, the inspector should, if appropriate, also handle them, evaluate noise or use any other appropriate means of inspection without the use of equipment.

In the framework of the implementation of Directive 2009/40/EC, this Recommendation lists the vehicle systems and components to be tested and the guidelines which Member States are recommended to apply during roadworthiness tests to determine whether the condition of the vehicle is acceptable.

2.   Guidelines for the assessment of defects and definitions

The guidelines for assessing failures, including technical defects and other non-compliances, that are found during periodic testing of vehicles are categorised in three groups, as follows:

| | MINOR DEFECTS (MiD) |
| --- | --- |

MINOR DEFECTS (MiD)

| | MAJOR DEFECTS (MaD) |
| --- | --- |

MAJOR DEFECTS (MaD)

| | DANGEROUS DEFECTS (DD) |
| --- | --- |

DANGEROUS DEFECTS (DD)

Each defect category should be defined by reference to the condition of the vehicle as follows:

MINOR DEFECTS

Technical defects that have no significant effect on the safety of the vehicle and other minor non-compliances. The vehicle does not necessarily have to be re-examined as it can reasonably be expected that the detected defects will be rectified without delay.

MAJOR DEFECTS

Defects that may prejudice the safety of the vehicle or put other road users at risk and other more significant non-compliances. Further use of the vehicle on the road without repair of the detected defects is subject to conditions. The competent authorities in the Member States must adopt a procedure for setting the conditions under which the vehicle may be used before passing another roadworthiness test.

DANGEROUS DEFECTS

Defects that constitute a direct and immediate risk to road safety such that the vehicle should not be used on the road under any circumstances.

A vehicle having defects falling into more than one defect group should be classified according to the most serious defect. A vehicle showing several defects of the same group can be classified in the next more serious group if their combined effect makes the vehicle more dangerous.

For defects which can be classified in more than one category, it should be the responsibility of the inspector carrying out the test to categorise the defects according to their severity, in accordance with national legislation.

Requirements for type-approval at the time of approval, first registration or first entry into service should be taken into consideration during the defect assessment. Nevertheless, some items will be covered by retrofitting requirements.

ANNEX

Guidelines for the assessment of defects and deficiencies

In the framework of implementing Directive 2000/30/EC, this document lists guidelines which Member States are recommended to apply for assessing defects (defined as both technical defects and other non-compliances) that are found during technical roadside inspections of vehicles.

The defects are classified as follows:

| | MINOR DEFECTS (MiD) |
| --- | --- |

MINOR DEFECTS (MiD)

| | MAJOR DEFECTS (MaD) |
| --- | --- |

MAJOR DEFECTS (MaD)

| | DANGEROUS DEFECTS (DD) |
| --- | --- |

DANGEROUS DEFECTS (DD)

Each defect category should be defined by reference to the condition of the vehicle as follows:

MINOR DEFECTS

Technical defects that have no significant effect on the safety of the vehicle and other minor non-compliances. The vehicle does not have to be re-examined as it can reasonably be expected that the detected defects will be rectified without delay.

MAJOR DEFECTS

Defects that may prejudice the safety of the vehicle and/or put other road users at risk and other more significant non-compliances. The vehicle must be repaired as soon as possible and further use may be subject to restrictions and conditions, for example, submitting the vehicle to a further roadworthiness inspection.

DANGEROUS DEFECTS

Defects that constitute a direct and immediate risk to road safety. Further use of the vehicle on the road is not permitted, although in some instances it may be permitted to be driven under specified conditions directly to a specified location, for example for immediate repair or impounding of the vehicle.

A vehicle having defects falling into more than one defect group should be classified according to the most serious defect. A vehicle showing several defects of the same group can be classified in the next more serious group if their combined effect makes the vehicle more dangerous.

For defects which can be classified in more than one category, it should be the responsibility of the inspector carrying out the test to categorise the defects according to their severity in accordance with national legislation.

Requirements for type-approval at the time of first registration or first entry into service should be taken into consideration during the defect assessment. Nevertheless some items will be covered by retrofitting requirements.

Assessment requirements

Deficiencies are examples of technical defects or other non-compliances that can be detected.
