COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 542/2008

of 16 June 2008

amending Annexes I and II to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2377/90 laying down a Community procedure for the establishment of maximum residue limits of veterinary medicinal products in foodstuffs of animal origin, as regards cyfluthrin and lectin extracted from red kidney beans (Phaseolus vulgaris)

(Text with EEA relevance)

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2377/90 of 26 June 1990 laying down a Community procedure for the establishment of maximum residue limits of veterinary medicinal products in foodstuffs of animal origin (1), and in particular Articles 2 and 3 thereof,

Having regard to the opinion of the European Medicines Agency formulated by the Committee for Medicinal Products for Veterinary Use,

Whereas:

| (1) | All pharmacologically active substances used in the Community in veterinary medicinal products intended for food-producing animals should be evaluated in accordance with Regulation (EEC) No 2377/90. |
| --- | --- |

(1)

All pharmacologically active substances used in the Community in veterinary medicinal products intended for food-producing animals should be evaluated in accordance with Regulation (EEC) No 2377/90.

| (2) | The substance cyfluthrin is currently included in Annex I to Regulation (EEC) No 2377/90 for bovine species for muscle, fat, liver and kidney and for bovine species for milk provided that, for milk, the further provisions in Council Directive 94/29/EC of 23 June 1994 amending the Annexes to Directives 86/362/EEC and 86/363/EEC on the fixing of maximum levels for pesticide residues in and on cereals and foodstuffs of animal origin respectively (2) are observed. Following a request to extend the existing entry for cyfluthrin for bovine species in Annex I to all ruminants, the Committee for Medicinal Products for Veterinary Use (hereinafter CVMP), having reviewed the maximum residue limits (hereinafter MRLs) already established for the substance cyfluthrin, concluded that the existing MRLs for bovine species could not be extrapolated to all ruminants, as residue data from ovine species was not available. The CVMP concluded that the extrapolation was possible for caprine species only. As a consequence, it is considered appropriate to extend the current entry in Annex I of Regulation (EEC) No 2377/90 for cyfluthrin to include caprine species, with the same MRLs values as for bovine species, for muscle, fat, liver, kidney and milk, provided that, for milk, the further provisions in Directive 94/29/EC are observed. |
| --- | --- |

(2)

The substance cyfluthrin is currently included in Annex I to Regulation (EEC) No 2377/90 for bovine species for muscle, fat, liver and kidney and for bovine species for milk provided that, for milk, the further provisions in Council Directive 94/29/EC of 23 June 1994 amending the Annexes to Directives 86/362/EEC and 86/363/EEC on the fixing of maximum levels for pesticide residues in and on cereals and foodstuffs of animal origin respectively (2) are observed. Following a request to extend the existing entry for cyfluthrin for bovine species in Annex I to all ruminants, the Committee for Medicinal Products for Veterinary Use (hereinafter CVMP), having reviewed the maximum residue limits (hereinafter MRLs) already established for the substance cyfluthrin, concluded that the existing MRLs for bovine species could not be extrapolated to all ruminants, as residue data from ovine species was not available. The CVMP concluded that the extrapolation was possible for caprine species only. As a consequence, it is considered appropriate to extend the current entry in Annex I of Regulation (EEC) No 2377/90 for cyfluthrin to include caprine species, with the same MRLs values as for bovine species, for muscle, fat, liver, kidney and milk, provided that, for milk, the further provisions in Directive 94/29/EC are observed.

| (3) | Lectin extracted from red kidney beans (Phaseolus vulgaris) is currently not included in the Annexes to Regulation (EEC) No 2377/90. Following an examination of an application for the establishment of MRLs for lectin extracted from red kidney beans (Phaseolus vulgaris) in porcine species, the CVMP concluded that there is no need to establish MRLs for lectin extracted from red kidney beans (Phaseolus vulgaris) and recommended the inclusion of that substance in Annex II for porcine species, for oral use only. As a consequence, it is found appropriate to insert this substance in Annex II to Regulation (EEC) No 2377/90 for porcine species, for oral use only. |

COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 543/2008

of 16 June 2008

laying down detailed rules for the application of Council Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 as regards the marketing standards for poultrymeat

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 of 22 October 2007 establishing a common organisation of agricultural markets and on specific provisions for certain agricultural products (Single CMO Regulation) (1), and in particular Article 121(e) in conjunction with Article 4 thereof,

Whereas:

| (1) | As from 1 July 2008, Regulation (EEC) No 1906/90 of 26 June 1990 on certain marketing standards for poultry (2) is repealed by Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007. |
| --- | --- |

(1)

As from 1 July 2008, Regulation (EEC) No 1906/90 of 26 June 1990 on certain marketing standards for poultry (2) is repealed by Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007.

| (2) | Some of the provisions and obligations in Regulation (EEC) No 1906/90 were not taken over in Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007. |
| --- | --- |

(2)

Some of the provisions and obligations in Regulation (EEC) No 1906/90 were not taken over in Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007.

| (3) | As a result, certain provisions and obligations, as appropriate, must be adopted in a Regulation laying down detailed rules for the application of Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 to enable the common market organisation and in particular the marketing standards to continue to function properly. |
| --- | --- |

(3)

As a result, certain provisions and obligations, as appropriate, must be adopted in a Regulation laying down detailed rules for the application of Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 to enable the common market organisation and in particular the marketing standards to continue to function properly.

| (4) | Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 lays down certain marketing standards for poultrymeat, the application of which requires the adoption of provisions concerning in particular the list of those poultry carcases, parts thereof and offal to which the said Regulation applies, classification by conformation, appearance and weight, types of presentation, the indication of the name under which the products in question are to be sold, the optional use of indications concerning chilling methods and the type of farming, conditions for storage and transport of certain types of poultrymeat and the supervision of these provisions in order to ensure their uniform application throughout the Community. Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1538/91 (3), which lays down detailed rules for the application of Regulation (EEC) No 1906/90, should therefore be repealed and replaced by a new Regulation. |
| --- | --- |

(4)

Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 lays down certain marketing standards for poultrymeat, the application of which requires the adoption of provisions concerning in particular the list of those poultry carcases, parts thereof and offal to which the said Regulation applies, classification by conformation, appearance and weight, types of presentation, the indication of the name under which the products in question are to be sold, the optional use of indications concerning chilling methods and the type of farming, conditions for storage and transport of certain types of poultrymeat and the supervision of these provisions in order to ensure their uniform application throughout the Community. Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1538/91 (3), which lays down detailed rules for the application of Regulation (EEC) No 1906/90, should therefore be repealed and replaced by a new Regulation.

| (5) | In order to provide for the marketing of poultry in different classes according to conformation and appearance, it is necessary to lay down definitions relating to species, age and presentation in the case of carcases, and anatomical conformation and content in the case of poultry cuts. In the case of the product known as ‘foie gras’ the high value and consequent risk of fraudulent practices make it necessary to lay down especially precise minimum marketing standards. |

In the case of the product known as ‘foie gras’ the high value and consequent risk of fraudulent practices make it necessary to lay down especially precise minimum marketing standards.

| (6) | It is not necessary for these standards to be applied to certain products and presentations which are of local or otherwise limited importance. However, names under which such products are sold should not be such as to mislead the consumer to a material degree by causing him to confuse these products with products which are subject to the standards. Similarly, additional descriptive terms used to qualify the names of such products should also be subject to the standards. |

(7)

With a view to the uniform application of this Regulation, the terms ‘marketing’ and ‘batch’ should be defined in the poultrymeat sector.

| (8) | Storage and handling temperature is of crucial importance to the maintenance of high standards of quality. Therefore, it is appropriate to lay down a minimum temperature at which chilled poultrymeat products are to be kept. |
| --- | --- |

(8)

Storage and handling temperature is of crucial importance to the maintenance of high standards of quality. Therefore, it is appropriate to lay down a minimum temperature at which chilled poultrymeat products are to be kept.

| (9) | The provisions of this Regulation and in particular those relating to surveillance and enforcement should be applied uniformly throughout the Community. Detailed rules adopted to those ends should also be uniform. It is therefore necessary to lay down common measures in the matter of sampling procedures and tolerances. |
| --- | --- |

(9)

The provisions of this Regulation and in particular those relating to surveillance and enforcement should be applied uniformly throughout the Community. Detailed rules adopted to those ends should also be uniform. It is therefore necessary to lay down common measures in the matter of sampling procedures and tolerances.

| (10) | It is necessary, in order that the consumer be provided with sufficient, unequivocal and objective information concerning such products offered for sale, and to secure the free movement of such products throughout the Community, to ensure that poultrymeat marketing standards take into account as far as is practicable the provisions of Council Directive 76/211/EEC of 20 January 1976 on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to the making-up by weight or by volume of certain pre-packaged products (4). |

| (11) | Among the indications which may optionally be used on the labelling are those concerning the method of chilling and particular types of farming. The use of the latter, in the interest of consumer protection, needs to be subject to compliance with closely defined criteria concerning both husbandry conditions and quantity thresholds for stating certain criteria such as age at slaughter or length of fattening period and content of certain foodstuff ingredients. |

| (13) | It is desirable that the Commission should exercise permanent surveillance of the compatibility with Community law, including the marketing standards, of any national measures adopted in pursuance of these provisions. Particular provision should also be made for the registration and regular inspection of undertakings authorised to use terms referring to particular types of farming. Such undertakings should therefore be obliged to maintain detailed records for this purpose. |

In the case of supervision of the indication of the type of farming used as referred to in Article 121(e)(v) of Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007, bodies designated by the Member States shall comply with the criteria set out in European Norm No EN/45011 of 26 June 1989, and as such shall be licensed and supervised by the competent authorities of the Member State concerned.

Article 14

Poultrymeat imported from third countries may bear one or more of the optional indications provided for in Articles 10 and 11 if it is accompanied by a certificate issued by the competent authority of the country of origin attesting to the compliance of the products in question with the relevant provisions of this Regulation.

On receipt of a request from a third country, the Commission shall establish a list of such authorities.

Article 15

1.   Without prejudice to Article 16(5) and Article 17(3), frozen and quick-frozen chickens may be marketed by way of business or trade within the Community only if the water content does not exceed the technically unavoidable values determined by the method of analysis described in Annex VI (drip method) or that in Annex VII (chemical method).

Article 16

1.   Regular checks in accordance with Annex IX on the water absorbed or checks in accordance with Annex VI shall be carried out in the slaughterhouses at least once each working period of eight hours.

Where these checks reveal that the amount of water absorbed is greater than the total water content permitted under the terms of this Regulation, account being taken of the water absorbed by the carcases during the stages of processing which are not subject to checking, and where, in any case, the amount of water absorbed is greater than the levels referred to in point 10 of Annex IX, or in point 7 of Annex VI, the necessary technical adjustments shall be made immediately by the slaughterhouse to the process.

2.   In all cases referred to in the second subparagraph of paragraph 1 and in any case at least once every two months, checks on water content referred to in Article 15(1) shall be carried out, by sampling, on frozen and quick-frozen chickens from each slaughterhouse in accordance with Annex VI or VII, to be chosen by the competent authority of the Member State. These checks shall not be conducted for carcases in respect of which proof is provided to the satisfaction of the competent authority that they are intended exclusively for export.

3.   The checks referred to in paragraphs 1 and 2 shall be carried out by or under the responsibility of the competent authorities. The competent authorities may, in specific cases, apply the provisions of paragraph 1, and in particular of points 1 and 10 of Annex IX, and of paragraph 2 more stringently in respect of a given slaughterhouse, where this proves necessary to ensure compliance with the total water content permitted under this Regulation.

They shall, in all cases where a batch of frozen or quick-frozen chickens was deemed not to comply with this Regulation, resume testing at the minimum frequency of checks referred to in paragraph 2 only after three successive checks according to Annex VI or VII, to be carried out by sampling from three different days of production within a maximum of four weeks, have shown negative results. The costs of these checks shall be paid by the slaughterhouse concerned.

4.   Where, in the case of air chilling, the results of checks referred to in paragraphs 1 and 2 show compliance with the criteria laid down in Annexes VI to IX during a period of six months, the frequency of the checks referred to in paragraph 1 may be reduced to once every month. Any failure to comply with the criteria laid down in these Annexes shall result in reinstatement of checks as referred to in paragraph 1.

5.   If the result of the checks referred to in paragraph 2 is in excess of the admissible limits, the batch concerned shall be deemed not to comply with this Regulation. In that event, however, the slaughterhouse concerned may request that a counter-analysis be carried out in the reference laboratory of the Member State, using a method to be chosen by the competent authority of the Member State. The costs of this counter-analysis shall be borne by the holder of the batch.

6.   Where the batch in question is deemed after such counter-analysis not to comply with this Regulation, the competent authority shall take the appropriate measures aimed at allowing it to be marketed as such within the Community only on condition that both individual and bulk packaging of the carcases concerned shall be marked by the slaughterhouse under the supervision of the competent authority with a tape or label bearing, in red capital letters, at least one of the indications set out in Annex X.

The batch referred to in the first subparagraph shall remain under the supervision of the competent authority until it is dealt with in accordance with this paragraph or otherwise disposed of. If it is certified to the competent authority that the batch referred to in the first subparagraph is to be exported, the competent authority shall take all necessary measures to prevent the batch in question from being marketed within the Community.

The indications provided for in the first subparagraph shall be marked in a conspicuous place so as to be easily visible, clearly legible and indelible. They shall not in any way be hidden, obscured or interrupted by other written or pictorial matter. The letters shall be at least 1 cm high on the individual packaging and 2 cm on bulk packaging.

Article 17

1.   The Member State of destination may, where there are serious grounds for suspecting irregularities, carry out non-discriminatory random checks of frozen or quick-frozen chickens in order to verify that a consignment meets the requirements of Articles 15 and 16.

2.   The checks referred to in paragraph 1 shall be carried out at the place of destination of the goods or at another suitable place, provided that in the latter case the choice of the places is not at the border and interferes as little as possible with the routing of the goods and that the goods may proceed normally to their destination once the appropriate sample has been taken. However, the products concerned shall not be sold to the final consumer until the result of the check is available.

Such checks shall be carried out as quickly as possible so as not unduly to delay their placing on the market, or cause delays which might impair their quality.

Results of these checks and any subsequent decisions and the grounds for taking them shall be notified at the latest two working days after sampling to the consignor, the consignee or their representative. Decisions taken by the competent authority of the Member State of destination and the reasons for such decisions shall be notified to the competent authority of the Member State of dispatch.

If the consignor or his representative so requests, the said decisions and reasons shall be forwarded to him in writing with details of the rights of appeal which are available to him under the law in force in the Member State of destination and of the procedure and time limits applicable.

3.   If the result of the checks referred to in paragraph 1 is in excess of the admissible limits, the holder of the batch concerned may request that a counter-analysis be carried out in one of the reference laboratories listed in Annex XI, using the same method as for the initial test. The expenses occasioned by this counter-analysis shall be borne by the holder of the batch. The tasks and competencies of reference laboratories are set out in Annex XII.

4.   If, after a check carried out in accordance with paragraphs 1 and 2 and, if requested, after a counter-analysis, it is found that the frozen or quick-frozen chickens do not comply with Articles 15 and 16, the competent authority of the Member State of destination shall apply the procedures provided for in Article 16(6).

5.   In the cases provided for in paragraphs 3 and 4, the competent authority of the Member State of destination shall contact the competent authorities of the Member State of dispatch without delay. The latter authorities shall take all necessary measures and notify the competent authority of the first Member State of the nature of the checks carried out, the decisions taken and the reasons for such decisions.

Where the checks referred to in paragraphs 1 and 3 show repeated irregularities, or where such checks, in the view of the Member State of dispatch, are being carried out without sufficient justification, the competent authorities of the Member States concerned shall inform the Commission.

To the extent necessary to ensure uniform application of this Regulation or at the request of the competent authority of the Member State of destination, and taking into account the nature of the infringements, the Commission may:

| — | send a mission of experts to the establishment concerned and, in conjunction with the competent national authorities, carry out on-the-spot inspections, or |
| --- | --- |

—

send a mission of experts to the establishment concerned and, in conjunction with the competent national authorities, carry out on-the-spot inspections, or

| — | request the competent authority of the Member State of dispatch to intensify its sampling of the products of the establishment concerned and if necessary to apply sanctions in accordance with Article 194 of Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007. |
| --- | --- |

—

request the competent authority of the Member State of dispatch to intensify its sampling of the products of the establishment concerned and if necessary to apply sanctions in accordance with Article 194 of Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007.

The Commission shall inform the Member States of its findings. Member States in whose territory an inspection is carried out shall give the experts all the assistance necessary for the performance of their tasks.

Pending the Commission’s findings, the Member State of dispatch must, at the request of the Member State of destination, intensify checks on products coming from the establishment in question.

Where these measures are taken to deal with repeated irregularities on the part of an establishment, the Commission shall charge any expenses occasioned by the application of the provisions of the indents of the third subparagraph to the establishment involved.

Article 18

1.   The competent authorities of the Member States shall inform the respective national reference laboratory without delay about the results of the checks referred to in Articles 15, 16 and 17, carried out by them or under their responsibility.

The national reference laboratories shall forward these data to the board of experts referred to in Article 19 for further evaluation and discussion with national reference laboratories before 1 July each year. The findings shall be presented to the Management Committee for consideration in accordance with Article 195 of Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007.

2.   The Member States shall adopt the practical measures for the checks provided for in Articles 15, 16 and 17 at all stages of marketing, including checks on imports from third countries at the time of customs clearance in accordance with Annexes VI and VII. They shall inform the other Member States and the Commission of these measures. Any changes to the measures shall be communicated immediately to the other Member States and to the Commission.

Article 19

A board of experts in monitoring water content in poultrymeat shall act as a coordinating body for the testing activities of the national reference laboratories. It shall consist of representatives of the Commission and national reference laboratories. The tasks of the board and of national reference laboratories, as well as the organisational structure of the board, are set out in Annex XII.

Financial assistance shall be paid to the reference laboratory under the terms of a contract concluded between the Commission, on behalf of the Community, and that laboratory.

The Director-General for Agriculture and Rural Development is authorised to sign the contract on behalf of the Commission.

Article 20

1.   The following fresh, frozen and quick-frozen poultry cuts may be marketed by way of business or trade within the Community only if the water content does not exceed the technically unavoidable values determined by the method of analysis described in Annex VIII (chemical method):

ANNEX VI

DETERMINATION OF THAW LOSS

(Drip test)

1.   Object and scope

This method shall be used to determine the amount of water lost from frozen or quick-frozen chickens during thawing. If this drip loss, expressed as a percentage by weight of the carcase (including all the edible offal contained in the pack) exceeds the limit value laid down in point 7, it is considered that excess water has been absorbed during processing.

2.   Definition

Drip loss determined by this method shall be expressed as a percentage of the total weight of the frozen or quick-frozen carcase, including edible offal.

3.   Principle

The frozen or quick-frozen carcase, including edible offal present, is allowed to thaw under controlled conditions which allow the weight of water lost to be calculated.

4.   Apparatus

| 4.1. | Scales capable of weighing up to 5 kg and accurate to at least 1 g. |
| --- | --- |

4.1.

| 4.2. | Plastic bags large enough to hold the carcase and having a secure means of fixing the bag. |
| --- | --- |

4.2.

| 4.3. | Thermostatically controlled water-bath with equipment capable of holding the carcases as described in points 5.5 and 5.6. The water-bath shall contain a volume of water not less than eight times that of the poultry to be checked and shall be capable of maintaining the water at a temperature of 42 ± 2 °C. |
| --- | --- |

4.3.

| 4.4. | Filter paper or other absorbent paper towels. |
| --- | --- |

4.4.

5.   Method

| 5.1. | Twenty carcases are removed at random from the quantity of poultry to be checked. Until each can be tested as described in points 5.2 to 5.11, they are kept at a temperature no higher than – 18 °C. |
| --- | --- |

5.1.

| 5.2. | The outside of the pack is wiped to remove superficial ice and water. The pack and its content are weighed to the nearest gram: this weight is M0. |
| --- | --- |

5.2.

| 5.3. | The carcase, together with any edible offal sold with it, is removed from the outer wrap, which is dried and weighed to the nearest gram: this weight is M1. |
| --- | --- |

5.3.

| 5.4. | The weight of frozen carcase plus offal is calculated by subtracting M1 from M0. |
| --- | --- |

5.4.

| 5.5. | The carcase, including the edible offal, is placed in a strong, waterproof plastic bag with the abdominal cavity facing towards the bottom, closed end of the bag. The bag must be of sufficient length so as to ensure that it can be fixed securely when in the water-bath but not so wide as to allow the carcase to move from the vertical position. |
| --- | --- |

5.5.

| 5.6. | The part of the bag containing the carcase end edible offal is completely immersed in a water-bath and remains open, enabling as much air as possible to escape. It is held vertically, if necessary by guide bars or by extra weights put in the bag, so that water from the bath cannot enter it. The individual bags must not touch each other. |
| --- | --- |

5.6.

| 5.7. | The bag is left in the water-bath, maintained at 42 ± 2 °C throughout, with continuous movement of the bag or continuous agitation of the water, until the thermal centre of the carcase (the deepest part of the breast muscle close to the breast bone, in chickens without giblets, or the middle of the giblets in chickens with giblets) reaches at least 4 °C, measured in two randomly chosen carcases. The carcases should not remain in the water bath for longer than is necessary to reach 4 °C. The required period of immersion, for carcases stored at – 18 °C is of the order of:

For carcases over 1 400 g, an increase of seven minutes for each additional 100 g is required. If the suggested period of immersion is passed without reaching + 4 °C, in the two carcases which are checked, the thawing process is continued until they do reach + 4 °C in the thermal centre.

| 5.8. | The bag and its content are removed from the water-bath; the bottom of the bag is pierced to allow any water produced on thawing to drain. The bag and its content are allowed to drip for one hour at an ambient temperature of between + 18 °C and + 25 °C. |
| --- | --- |

5.8.

| 5.9. | The thawed carcase is removed from the bag and the pack containing offal (if present) is removed from the abdominal cavity. The carcase is dried inside and out with filter paper or paper towels. The bag containing the offal is pierced and, once any water has drained away, the bag and thawed offal are dried as carefully as possible. |

ANNEX VII

DETERMINATION OF THE TOTAL WATER CONTENT OF CHICKENS

(Chemical test)

1.   Object and scope

This method is used to determine the total water content of frozen and quick-frozen chickens. The method involves determination of the water and protein contents of samples from homogenised poultry carcases. The total water content as determined is compared with the limit value given by the formulae indicated in point 6.4, to determine whether or not excess water has been taken up during processing. If the analyst suspects the presence of any substance which may interfere with the assessment, it is for him or her to take the necessary appropriate precautions.

2.   Definitions

‘Carcase’: the poultry carcase with bones, cartilage and any additional offal.

‘Offal’: liver, heart, gizzard and neck.

3.   Principle

Water and protein contents are determined in accordance with recognised ISO (International Organisation for Standardisation) methods or other methods of analysis approved by the Council.

The maximum total water content of the carcase is determined from the protein content of the carcase, which can be related to the physiological water content.

1.

select at random 25 carcases from the evisceration line immediately after evisceration and the removal of the offal and fat and before the first subsequent washing.

| 2. | If necessary, remove the neck by cutting, leaving the neck skin attached to the carcase. |
| --- | --- |

2.

| 3. | Identify each carcase individually. Weigh each carcase and record its weight to the nearest gram. |
| --- | --- |

3.

| 4. | Re-hang the test carcases on the evisceration line to continue through the normal processes of washing, chilling, dripping, etc. |
| --- | --- |

4.

| 5. | Remove identified carcases at the end of the drip line without allowing them any longer time to drip than that allowed normally for poultry from the lot from which the sample was taken. |
| --- | --- |

5.

| 6. | The sample consists of the first 20 carcases recovered. They are re-weighed. Their weight to the nearest gram is recorded against the weight recorded on first weighing. The test is declared void if less than 20 identified carcases are recovered. |
| --- | --- |

6.

| 7. | Remove identification from sample carcases and allow the carcases to proceed through normal packing operations. |
| --- | --- |

7.

| 8. | Determine percentage moisture absorption by subtracting the total weight of these same carcases after washing, chilling and dripping, dividing the difference by the initial weight and multiplying by 100. |
| --- | --- |

8.

| 9. | Instead of manual weighing as described under points 1 to 8, automatic weighing lines may be used for the determination of the percentage moisture absorption for the same number of carcases and according to the same principles, provided that the automatic weighing line is approved in advance for this purpose by the competent authority. |
| --- | --- |

9.

| 10. | The result must not exceed the following percentages of the initial weight of the carcase or any other figure allowing compliance with the maximum total extraneous water content:

COMMISSION DECISION

of 23 May 2008

concerning national provisions notified by Denmark on the addition of nitrite to certain meat products

(notified under document number C(2008) 2168)

(Only the Danish text is authentic)

(2008/448/EC)

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 95(6) thereof,

Whereas:

I.   FACTS AND PROCEDURE

| (1) | By letter of 21 November 2007, which reached the Commission on 23 November 2007, the Permanent Representation of the Kingdom of Denmark to the European Union, notified to the Commission its national provisions concerning the addition of nitrites to certain meat products, pursuant to Article 95(4) of the Treaty establishing the European Community. The Kingdom of Denmark considers it necessary to maintain these provisions in spite of the adoption of Directive 2006/52/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 5 July 2006 amending Directive 95/2/EC on food additives other than colours and sweeteners and Directive 94/35/EC on sweeteners for use in foodstuffs (1) and intends not to transpose Directive 2006/52/EC into national law insofar as it concerns the addition of nitrite to meat products. |

1.   COMMUNITY LEGISLATION

1.1.   ARTICLE 95(4) AND (6) OF THE EC TREATY

| (2) | Article 95(4) of the EC Treaty provides that ‘If, after the adoption by the Council or by the Commission of a harmonisation measure, a Member State deems it necessary to maintain national provisions on grounds of major needs referred to in Article 30, or relating to the protection of the environment or the working environment, it shall notify the Commission of these provisions as well as the grounds for maintaining them.’ |

Article 95(4) of the EC Treaty provides that ‘If, after the adoption by the Council or by the Commission of a harmonisation measure, a Member State deems it necessary to maintain national provisions on grounds of major needs referred to in Article 30, or relating to the protection of the environment or the working environment, it shall notify the Commission of these provisions as well as the grounds for maintaining them.’

| (3) | According to Article 95(6) of the EC Treaty, the Commission shall, within six months of the notification, approve or reject the national provisions involved after having verified whether or not they are a means of arbitrary discrimination or a disguised restriction on trade between Member States and whether or not they shall constitute an obstacle to the functioning of the internal market. |
| --- | --- |

(3)

According to Article 95(6) of the EC Treaty, the Commission shall, within six months of the notification, approve or reject the national provisions involved after having verified whether or not they are a means of arbitrary discrimination or a disguised restriction on trade between Member States and whether or not they shall constitute an obstacle to the functioning of the internal market.

1.2.   DIRECTIVE 2006/52/EC

| (4) | Under the general principles of Council Directive 89/107/EEC of 21 December 1988 on the approximation of the laws of the Member States concerning food additives authorised for use in foodstuffs intended for human consumption (2), the approval of a food additive is subject to a reasonable technological need, its acceptability from a health point of view and its use not being misleading for the consumer. |

Under the general principles of Council Directive 89/107/EEC of 21 December 1988 on the approximation of the laws of the Member States concerning food additives authorised for use in foodstuffs intended for human consumption (2), the approval of a food additive is subject to a reasonable technological need, its acceptability from a health point of view and its use not being misleading for the consumer.

| (5) | Nitrites have been used in meat and meat products for many decades, inter alia, to secure, in conjunction with other factors, the preservation and microbiological safety of meat products, in particular cured meat products, inhibiting, amongst other things, the multiplication of Clostridium botulinum, the bacteria responsible for life-threatening botulism. At the same time, it is recognised that the presence of nitrites in meat products can give rise to the formation of nitrosamines, which have been found to be carcinogenic. Legislation in this field must, therefore, strike a balance between the risk of the formation of nitrosamines through the presence of nitrites in meat products, on the one hand, and the protective effects of nitrites against the multiplication of bacteria, in particular those responsible for botulism. |

| (6) | Directive 95/2/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 20 February 1995 on food additives other than colours and sweeteners (3), as it was adopted originally, laid down maximum residual levels of nitrites and nitrates for various meat products as well as ‘indicative ingoing amounts’. Annex I(3)(c) to Directive 2006/52/EC amends Annex III Part C to Directive 95/2/EC in relation to E249 (potassium nitrite) and E250 (sodium nitrite). |

| (7) | By contrast, as a general rule, Directive 2006/52/EC contains maximum amounts for E249 potassium nitrite and E250 sodium nitrite that may be added during manufacture. The maximum added amount is 150 mg/kg for meat products in general and 100 mg/kg for sterilised meat products. For a few specified cured meat products made traditionally in specific Member States the maximum amount is 180 mg/kg. |

| (8) | This approach follows opinions from the Scientific Committee for Food (hereinafter SCF) of 1990 (4) and 1995 (5) as well as from the European Food Safety Authority (hereinafter EFSA) of 26 November 2003 (6), which established that the ingoing amount of nitrite, rather than the residual amount, contributes to the inhibitory effect against C. botulinum and recommended to replace ‘indicative ingoing amounts’ with ‘maximum ingoing amounts’. It also takes account of the Court's ruling in Case C-3/00 Denmark/Commission relating to a previous Danish request under Article 95(4) of the EC Treaty and in which the Court held that, when rejecting the Danish request in relation to the use of nitrites in meat products, the Commission did not take sufficient account of the SCF's opinions of 1990 and 1995, which cast doubt on the appropriateness of the amounts of nitrite authorised by Directive 95/2/EC (7). |

| (9) | By way of exception to the general rule, Directive 2006/52/EC contains maximum residual levels for certain specified traditional cured meat products, which are produced through traditional manufacturing methods. There are maximum residual levels of 50 mg/kg, 100 mg/kg and 175 mg/kg applying to different groups of such products, e.g. 175 kg/kg for Wiltshire bacon, dry-cured bacon and similar products, and 100 mg/kg for Wiltshire ham and similar products. In relation to these products maximum residual values have been established since it is not possible to control the ingoing amount of curing salts absorbed by the meat due to the nature of the manufacturing process associated with these products. The production process of these specific products is described in the Directive to enable identification of ‘similar products’ and to make clear what products are covered by the different maximum levels. The table below contains the maximum levels established by Directive 2006/52/EC (8).

| (10) | As recommended in the relevant opinions of the SCF and EFSA, Directive 2006/52/EC is based on the establishment of maximum added amounts and reflects the ranges referred to in these scientific opinions by specifying that up to 100 mg/kg of nitrite are permitted in sterilised meat products and 150 mg/kg in other meat products. Given the vast variety of (cured) meat products and manufacturing methods within the Community, the Community legislator held that it was, for the moment, not possible to specify the appropriate level of nitrite for each product. |

It further provides that, unless otherwise specified, the maximum values set out in the positive list refer to the maximum amounts of the additive which may be present in a foodstuff in the form in which it is sold (10). As a consequence, only foodstuffs which are in compliance with the requirements of Order No 22 and the positive list may be sold on the Danish market. The positive list established by the Danish Veterinary and Food Administration on the basis of Order No 22 states which additives may be used for the individual foodstuffs, and in what amounts. The version notified applies with effect from 29 January 2005. |

For certain sausages the accepted maximum in Denmark is 100 mg/kg. For specific entirely or semi-preserved meat products, including ‘bacon of the Wiltshire type and related cuts’, the maximum is 150 mg/kg. |

For certain sausages the accepted maximum in Denmark is 100 mg/kg. For specific entirely or semi-preserved meat products, including ‘bacon of the Wiltshire type and related cuts’, the maximum is 150 mg/kg.

3.   PROCEDURE

| (17) | On 17 August 2007 the Commission received a first communication from the Kingdom of Denmark, dated 14 August 2007, in which Denmark criticised different aspects of Directive 2006/52/EC and informed the Commission that it does not intend to transpose Directive 2006/52/EC in relation to nitrites in meat products. However, Denmark did not notify the national provisions which it wishes to maintain. By letter of 13 November 2007 the Commission pointed this out to the Danish Government. By letter of 21 November 2007, which reached the Commission on 23 November 2007, the Permanent Representation of the Kingdom of Denmark to the European Union, notified to the Commission the relevant national provisions. In an additional correspondence of 22 November 2007, which was received by the Commission on 27 November 2007 and which contains a report of the National Food Institute of 30 October 2007, Denmark substantiated its application. |

In its view, Directive 2006/52/EC is based on the EFSA opinion of 26 November 2003 and limits as much as possible the concentration of nitrosamines while securing the microbiological safety. As recommended by EFSA, it regulates added amounts. It refers to maximum residual values only as an exception and only where it was not possible to lay down maximum added amounts. A new analysis should be undertaken only once the results of studies in the Member States on the consumption of additives on the basis of the new rules are available. |

| — | Hungary, while supporting the decrease in the exposure to nitrites and nitrosamines with all possibly available means, emphasises the need to regulate appropriate nitrite levels for the whole EU, including for traditional cured meat products, which may differ from the Danish meat products and where the addition of higher nitrite levels may be justified. It questions Denmark’s claim that the transposition of Directive 2006/2052 could lead to a 2,3 to 2,4-fold increase in nitrite in Denmark, having regard to the fact that manufacturers are obliged to apply less than the maximum permitted amount if they can guarantee the required microbiological safety. European culture would grow poorer if traditional cured meat products had to disappear from the market. |

| — | Norway considers that the Danish measure is justified on grounds of major needs referred to in Article 30. In its view, the measure is intended to ensure a high level of human health protection based on scientific advice and is not an arbitrary discrimination or a disguised restriction on trade. It contends that the obstacle to the functioning of the internal market created by it is necessary and proportionate. Norway agrees with Denmark that, in relation to nitrites in meat products, Directive 2006/52/EC does not fully reflect scientific advice in that it does not ensure that the lowest level of nitrites necessary to achieve the desired effect is applied and the application of residual levels in relation to a number of meat products. |

| (22) | With regard to the effects of nitrites/nitrates on the microbiological safety of meat products EFSA refers to the opinion of its Scientific Panel on Biological Hazards of 26 November 2003. In this opinion it was stated that several factors contribute to the safety of meat products (cooking process, salt/concentration, water activity etc. and that the ingoing amount of nitrites is important for microbiological safety, which is why ingoing amounts should be controlled (rather than the residual amount). EFSA also refers to the fact that its Scientific Panel on Biological Hazards agreed with the view of the Scientific Committee for Food (SCF) that 50-100 mg added nitrite per kg of meat products may suffice for many products and in other products, especially those with a low salt content and having a prolonged shelf life, addition of between 50-150 mg/kg nitrite is necessary to inhibit growth of C. botulinum. |

| (29) | In particular, the Commission has to assess whether or not the national provisions are justified by the major needs referred to in Article 30 of the EC Treaty or relating to the protection of the environment or the working environment and do not exceed what is necessary to attain the legitimate objective pursued. In addition, when the Commission considers that the national provisions fulfill the above conditions, it must verify, pursuant to Article 95(6), whether or not the national provisions are a means of arbitrary discrimination or a disguised restriction on trade between Member States and whether or not they constitute an obstacle to the functioning of the internal market. |

| (30) | It has to be noted that, in the light of the time frame established by Article 95(6) of the EC Treaty, the Commission, when examining whether the national measures notified under Article 95(4) of the EC Treaty are justified, has to take as a basis ‘the grounds’ put forward by the notifying Member State. This means that, according to the provisions of the Treaty, the responsibility of proving that the national measures are justified lies with the requesting Member State which seeks to maintain them. Given the procedural framework established by Article 95 paragraphs 4 and 6 of the EC Treaty, including in particular a strict deadline for a decision to be adopted, the Commission normally has to limit itself to examining the relevance of the elements which are submitted by the requesting Member State, without having to seek itself possible reasons of justifications. |

2.1.   THE POSITION OF DENMARK

| (32) | The Kingdom of Denmark claims that its legislation ensures a higher level of protection of health and life of human in that it down lower maximum added amounts of E249 (potassium nitrite) and E250 (sodium nitrite) than the ones provided for in Directive 2006/52/EC, and does not allow the placing on the market of traditional meat products for which no ingoing amounts can be established. Denmark considers that the Danish provisions are fully consistent with the recommendations which the Scientific Committee on Food (SCF) made in 1990 and 1995, as well as with the opinion of the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) of 26 November 2003, since they contain no exceptions to the principle of establishing maximum ‘added amounts’ as opposed to residual levels and lay down more differentiated maximum levels related to particular groups of meat products. |

| (33) | Denmark acknowledges that in certain respects Directive 2006/52/EC complies with the scientific recommendations from the SCF and EFSA, in particular where, unlike the original version of Directive 95/2/EC it provides for ‘maximum added amounts’, as opposed to residual amounts and ‘indicative added amounts’. It criticises, however, that there are exceptions to this principle, with the consequence that various traditionally produced meat products are still regulated from the point of view of residual amounts and considers that this can be a hazard to human health. It stresses that the concentration of residual nitrite is a very uncertain marker of added nitrite and refers to studies which have shown that residual values may even mask extremely high additions of nitrites, leading to an unpredictably high formation of N-nitroso compounds. |

Denmark considers that the maximum added amounts set out in Directive 2006/52/EC are too high from a health point of view and that a technological need for these values has not been documented. It contends that, in light of the advice given by the Community scientific bodies, the inhibition of growth of Clostridium botulinum could be achieved by keeping the limits within the range of 50-150 mg/kg nitrite and specifying the limits for categories of meat products depending on the scientifically based needs. |

| (35) | Given that approximately 90 % of the intake of cured meat products in Denmark consists of products to which a maximum amount of 60 mg/kg of added nitrite currently applies in Denmark, Denmark points out that the transposition of the Directive and the introduction of a general limit of 150 mg/kg for all cured meat products could lead to the intake of nitrites in Denmark rising by a factor of 2,3-2,4, which may imply a corresponding rise in the intake of preformed nitrosamines. |

It states that there are fewer cases of botulism than in most other Member States. According to the European Communicable Disease Bulletin, Eurosurveillance, of January 1999, which is a special issue on botulism in Europe, botulism is very rare in Denmark. The Danish health surveillance institution, the Statens Serum Institute, states on its website that after 1980 there have only occurred five cases of botulism amongst the Danish population, none of these being caused by the consumption of meat products. |

2.2.   EVALUATION OF THE DANISH POSITION

2.2.1.   Justification on grounds of major needs referred to in Article 30

| (39) | The Danish legislation aims to achieve a higher level of protection of health and life of humans with regard to exposure to nitrites and the possible formation of nitrosamines in meat products, by specifying lower maximum added amounts of nitrite in relation to many meat products and not allowing the placing on the market of products for which only maximum residual levels can be established. |

(39)

The Danish legislation aims to achieve a higher level of protection of health and life of humans with regard to exposure to nitrites and the possible formation of nitrosamines in meat products, by specifying lower maximum added amounts of nitrite in relation to many meat products and not allowing the placing on the market of products for which only maximum residual levels can be established.

| (40) | When assessing whether the Danish legislation is actually adequate and necessary for achieving this objective a number of factors need to be taken into account. In particular, two health risks need to be balanced, the one related to the presence of nitrosamines in meat products, on the one hand, and the microbiological safety of meat products, on the other hand. The latter aspect is more than a mere technological need, but a highly relevant health concern in its own right. While it is recognised that the levels of nitrites in meat products need to be limited, lower levels of nitrite in meat will not automatically lead to a higher protection of human health. The most appropriate level of nitrite depends on a number of factors acknowledged in the relevant opinions of the SCF and EFSA, e.g. the addition of salt, moisture, pH, shelf life of the product, hygiene, temperature control, etc. |

| (41) | In the light of the preceding considerations and those under points (9) and (10) before, the Commission considers that, in principle, Directive 2006/52/EC constitutes an adequate response to the challenge of reconciling two conflicting health risks in light of the diversity of meat products across the Community. |

| (42) | On the other hand, the Commission has to evaluate the specific choices made by the Danish regulator and the experience made with these rules, which have been in force for a considerable period of time. Through the figures it provided on the occurrence of food poisoning and, in particular, botulism, Denmark has demonstrated that it has so far achieved satisfactory results with its legislation. These data show that the maximum levels specified in the Danish legislation appear to have been sufficient to ensure the microbiological safety of the meat products currently made in Denmark and the production methods currently used in Denmark. |

It is based on a regulation of maximum added values and respects the ranges of added amounts of nitrite referred to in these opinions, i.e. 50-150 mg/kg. At the same time, Denmark has established more specific maximum added amounts for particular groups of meat products, compared with the Directive, in light of the types of meat products and manufacturing methods prevailing in Denmark. |

Since Danish manufacturers, like manufacturers in other Member States, would not be obliged to raise the amounts of nitrites currently added to their products to the maximum levels referred to in Directive 2006/52/EC, it is unlikely that the actual exposure of the Danish population to nitrites in meat products would increase to the extent suggested in the Danish submission, i.e. by a factor of 2,3-2,4. However, an increase of the actual exposure of the Danish population to nitrites cannot be excluded. |

On the basis of the information available at the moment, the Commission considers that the request to maintain more stringent measures than those contained in Directive 2006/52/EC can be temporarily accepted on grounds of protection of public health in Denmark.

2.2.2.   Absence of any arbitrary discrimination, any disguised restriction of trade between Member States or any obstacle to the functioning of the internal market

2.2.2.1.   Absence of arbitrary discrimination

| (46) | Article 95(6) obliges the Commission to verify that the envisaged measures are not a means of arbitrary discrimination. According to the jurisprudence of the Court of Justice, in order for there to be no discrimination, similar situations must not be treated in different ways and different situations must not be treated in the same way. |

Article 95(6) obliges the Commission to verify that the envisaged measures are not a means of arbitrary discrimination. According to the jurisprudence of the Court of Justice, in order for there to be no discrimination, similar situations must not be treated in different ways and different situations must not be treated in the same way.

| (47) | The Danish national rules apply to both domestic products and products made in other Member States. In the absence of any evidence of the contrary, it can be concluded that the national provisions are not a means of arbitrary discrimination. |

(47)

The Danish national rules apply to both domestic products and products made in other Member States. In the absence of any evidence of the contrary, it can be concluded that the national provisions are not a means of arbitrary discrimination.

2.2.2.2.   Absence of a disguised restriction on trade

| (48) | National measures which restrict the use of products to a greater extent than a Community Directive would normally constitute a barrier to trade, insofar as products that are legally placed on the market and used in the rest of the Community are not expected, as a result of the prohibition on use, to be placed on the market in the Member State concerned. The pre-conditions laid down in Article 95(6) of the EC Treaty are intended to prevent restrictions based on the criteria set out in paragraphs 4 and 5 thereof from being applied for inappropriate reasons, and constituting in effect economic measures to impede the importation of products from other Member States, that is to say, a means of indirectly protecting national production. |

| (49) | Given that the Danish rules impose stricter standards on the addition of nitrites to meat products also on operators based in other Member States in an otherwise harmonised area, they are liable to constitute a disguised restriction of trade or an obstacle to the functioning of the internal market. It is recognised, however, that Article 95(6) of the EC Treaty must be read in the sense that only national measures constituting a disproportionate obstacle to the internal market may not be approved. In this connection, Denmark has submitted figures which indicate that imports of meat products from other Member States have been taking place in spite of its legislation and have even been increasing in recent years. |

2.2.2.3.   Absence of obstacles to the functioning of the internal market

| (51) | This condition cannot be interpreted in such a way that it precludes the approval of any national measure likely to affect the establishment of the internal market. Indeed, any national measure derogating from a harmonisation measure aiming at the establishment and operation of the internal market constitutes in substance a measure likely to affect the internal market. Consequently, in order to preserve the useful character of the procedure laid down in Article 95 of the EC Treaty, the concept of obstacle to the functioning of the internal market must, in the context of Article 95(6) of the EC Treaty, be understood as a disproportionate effect in relation to the pursued objective. |

| (52) | Given the health benefits invoked by the Danish government in relation to the reduction of exposure to nitrites in meat products and the fact that, on the basis of currently available figures, trade does appear not to be affected at all or only to a very limited extent, the Commission considers that the notified Danish rules may be temporarily maintained on grounds relating to the protection of health and life of humans having regard to the fact that they are not disproportionate and do, therefore, not constitute an obstacle to the functioning of the internal market in the sense of Article 95(6) of the EC Treaty. |

2.2.3.   Limitation in time

| (54) | The above conclusions are based on the currently available information and, in particular, on figures indicating that Denmark has been able to control botulism despite lower maximum levels of nitrite added to particular types of meat products, while not disrupting trade in a disproportionate fashion. |

The above conclusions are based on the currently available information and, in particular, on figures indicating that Denmark has been able to control botulism despite lower maximum levels of nitrite added to particular types of meat products, while not disrupting trade in a disproportionate fashion.

| (55) | Another important factor is the rate of consumption in Denmark of meat products in relation to which the application of Directive 2006/52/EC could lead to an increase of the exposure of the Danish population to nitrites and thereby nitrosamines. |

(56)

Since it cannot be predicted with a sufficient degree of certainty that these factors will not change significantly in the course of time, the Commission considers it appropriate to re-examine the situation at the latest in two years’ time on the basis of updated information.

| (57) | The two-year period will permit the Danish Government to introduce a renewed application, in due time, and to supply further relevant data concerning the fact that the application of the levels laid down in Directive 2006/52/EC does not achieve the required level of protection and would lead to an unacceptable risk to human health. |

(57)

The two-year period will permit the Danish Government to introduce a renewed application, in due time, and to supply further relevant data concerning the fact that the application of the levels laid down in Directive 2006/52/EC does not achieve the required level of protection and would lead to an unacceptable risk to human health.

| (58) | In order to be able to submit such data Denmark will have to monitor the situation in particular with regard to the control of botulism, the share of meat products covered by the 60 mg/kg limit in the overall consumption of meat products in Denmark, including any other risk factor of typical dietary habits as relevant, as well as imports of meat products from other Member States. |

In its renewed application Denmark would also have to provide a full justification for the continued maintenance of its legislation.

| (60) | At the same time, the two-year period will allow the Commission to check and analyse the transposition of Directive 2006/52/EC in the Member States, and to re-examine Directive 2006/52/EC under the terms of Article 95(7) of the EC Treaty, including further consultations of the Member States and EFSA. |

| (61) | Against this background, the Commission considers that the national provisions, to the extent specified above, can be approved for a limited period. The approval should extend to the time needed to gather and to carefully evaluate the necessary information. The Commission considers that a period of two years from the date of the present decision is necessary to that effect. The decision will expire on that date. |

Denmark remains obliged to transpose the other provisions of Directive 2006/52/EC into its national law,

III.   CONCLUSION

In the light of the above considerations, and taking account of comments provided by Member States on the notification submitted by the Danish authorities, the Commission is of the opinion that the request by Denmark, submitted on 23 November 2007, for maintaining its national provisions on the addition of nitrites, which are more stringent than those of Directive 2006/52/EC, can be approved for a period of two years from the date of adoption of the present decision, pending the demonstration by the Danish authorities that the levels laid down in Directive 2006/52/EC would lead to an unacceptable risk,

HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:

Article 1

The national provisions on the addition of nitrites to meat and meat products contained in Order No 22 of 11 January 2005 on food additives (Bekendtgørelse nr 22 af 11.1.2005 om tilsætningsstoffer til fødevarer) and the Danish positive list of permitted food additives (Liste over tilladte tilsætningsstoffer til fødevarer, ‘Positivlisten’
  ), which the Kingdom of Denmark notified to the Commission by letter of 21 November 2007, pursuant to Article 95(4) of the EC Treaty, are approved.

Article 2

This Decision shall expire on 23 May 2010.

Article 3

This Decision is addressed to the Kingdom of Denmark.

COUNCIL JOINT ACTION 2008/450/CFSP

of 16 June 2008

regarding a further contribution of the European Union to the conflict settlement process in Georgia/South Ossetia

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,

Having regard to the Treaty on European Union and in particular Article 14 thereof,

Whereas:

| (1) | On 27 June 2006, the Council adopted Joint Action 2006/439/CFSP regarding a further contribution of the European Union to the conflict settlement process in Georgia/South Ossetia (1), which was extended by Joint Action 2007/484/CFSP (2) until 31 December 2007. |
