COUNCIL DIRECTIVE 1999/29/EC
of 22 April 1999
on the undesirable substances and products in animal nutrition
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and
in particular Article 43 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament(
1),
Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and Social
Committee(2),
(1)Whereas Council Directive 74/63/EEC of 17 December 1973 onthe undesirable substances in animal nutrition(
3) has been
frequently and substantially amended; whereas for reasons ofclarity and rationality the said Directive should be consolidated;
(2)Whereas livestock production occupies a very important place inthe agriculture of the Community; whereas satisfactory resultsdepend to a large extent on the use of appropriate good-qualityfeedingstuffs;
(3)Whereas the existence of rules concerning feedingstuffs is essen-tial toan increase in agricultural pro ductivity;
(4)Whereas feedingstuffs often contain undesirable substances or
products which can endanger animal health or, because of their
presence in livestock products, human health;
(5)Whereas it is impossible to exclude totally the presence of thesubstances and products in question; whereas it is important
that their content in feedingstuffs should be reduced in order to
prevent undesirable and harmful effects; whereas it is at presentimpossible to fix this content below the levels detectable bymethods of analysis to be defined for the Community;
(6)Whereas undesirable substances and products may be present infeedingstuffs only in accordance with the conditions laid downin this Directive and may not be used in any other way for thepurposes of animal feeding; whereas this Directive should there-fore apply without prejudice to other Community provisions on
feedingstuffs, and particularly the rules applicable to compound
feedingstuffs;
(7)Whereas Member States should, however, retain the power toallow, under certain conditions, feedingstuffs having levels of
undesirable substances and products higher than those provided
for in Annex I;
(8)Whereas this Directive must apply tofeed materials and feeding-stuffs from the date of their introduction into the Community;
whereas it should therefore be stipulated that the maximum
levels of undesirable substances or products set apply in generalfrom the date on which the feed materials and feedingstuffs areput into circulation, including all stages of marketing, and inparticular from the date of their importation;
(9)Whereas it is advisable toestablish the principle that raw mate-rials used in animal nutrition must be sound, genuine and ofmerchantable quality; whereas, therefore, it is necessary toprohibit the use or putting into circulation of feed materialswhich, because they contain too high a level of undesirable1999L0029 — EN — 10.01.2002 — 002.001 — 2

substances or products, result in the maximum levels for
compound feedingstuffs laid down in Annex I being exceeded;
(10)Whereas it is proper to limit the presence of certain undesirablesubstances or products in complementary feedingstuffs by fixing
appropriate maximum levels;
(11)Whereas Member States should retain the power, if animal or
human health is endangered, toreduce tempo rarily the fixedmaximum permissible levels or to fix maximum levels for othersubstances or products or to prohibit the presence of suchsubstances or products in feedingstuffs; whereas in order that aMember State should not abuse that power, possible amendments
to Annexes I and II based on supporting documents should be
decided on by emergency Community procedure;
(12)Whereas feedingstuffs satisfying the requirements of this Direc-tive should not be subject, with regard to their level ofundesirable substances and products, to restrictions on their entryinto circulation other than those provided for in this Directive;
(13)Whereas, in order to ensure that the requirements laid down inrespect of undesirable substances and products are satisfied
during marketing of feedingstuffs, Member States must make
appropriate control arrangements;
(14)Whereas, as part of the information system introduced by thisDirective within the official control departments, Member Statesshould also be informed by operators of cases where the provi-sions of this Directive are not complied with; whereas, in suchcases, Member States are required totake all measures toenable
the use in animal nutrition of undesirable substances and
products to be excluded; whereas Member States are, whereappropriate, obliged to ensure that consignments of feed mate-rials or feedingstuffs are destroyed, if this has been decided byits owner;
(15)Whereas an appropriate Community procedure is essential toadjust the technical provisions laid down in Annexes I and II,
to developments in scientific and technical knowledge;
(16)Whereas, in order to facilitate implementation of the proposed
measures, a procedure should be laid down to establish closecooperation between Member States and the Commission withinthe Standing Committee on Feedingstuffs set up by Decision 70/372/EEC(
1);
(17)Whereas this Directive should not affect the obligations of theMember States concerning the deadlines for transposition of the
Directives set out in Annex III, part B,
HAS ADOPTED THIS DIRECTIVE:
