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 on the
undesirable substances in animal nutrition (3) has been frequently and
substantially amended; whereas for reasons of clarity and rationality
the said Directive should be consolidated;
(2) Whereas livestock production occupies a very important place in the
agriculture of the Community; whereas satisfactory results depend to alarge extent on the use of appropriate good-quality feedingstuffs;
(3) Whereas the existence of rules concerning feedingstuffs is essential to
an increase in agricultural productivity;
(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 the
substances and products in question; whereas it is important that their
content in feedingstuffs should be reduced in order to preventundesirable and harmful effects; whereas it is at present impossibleto fix this content below the levels detectable by methods of analysis to
be defined for the Community;
(6) Whereas undesirable substances and products may be present in
feedingstuffs only in accordance with the conditions laid down in thisDirective and may not be used in any other way for the purposes ofanimal feeding; whereas this Directive should therefore 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 to allow,
under certain conditions, feedingstuffs having levels of undesirablesubstances and products higher than those provided for in Annex I;
(8) Whereas this Directive must apply to feed materials and feedingstuffs
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 general from the date on which thefeed materials and feedingstuffs are put into circulation, including allstages of marketing, and in particular from the date of their
importation;
(9) Whereas it is advisable to establish the principle that raw materials
used in animal nutrition must be sound, genuine and of merchantable
quality; whereas, therefore, it is necessary to prohibit the use or puttinginto circulation of feed materials which, because they contain too high
a level of undesirable substances or products, result in the maximum
levels for compound feedingstuffs laid down in Annex I beingexceeded;
(10) Whereas it is proper to limit the presence of certain undesirable
substances or products in complementary feedingstuffs by fixingappropriate maximum levels;!B
(1) Opinion delivered on 9 February 1999 (not yet published in the Official Journal).
(2) OJ C 153, 28.5.1996, p. 49.
(3) OJ L 38, 11.2.1974, p. 31. Directive as last amended by Commission Directive
98/60/EC (OJ L 209, 25.7.1998, p. 50).1999L0029 — EN — 04.05.1999 — 000.001 — 2
(11) Whereas Member States should retain the power, if animal or human
health is endangered, to reduce temporarily the fixed maximumpermissible levels or to fix maximum levels for other substances orproducts or to prohibit the presence of such substances or products in
feedingstuffs; whereas in order that a Member State should not abuse
that power, possible amendments to Annexes I and II based onsupporting documents should be decided on by emergency Communityprocedure;
(12) Whereas feedingstuffs satisfying the requirements of this Directive
should not be subject, with regard to their level of undesirablesubstances and products, to restrictions on their entry into circulationother than those provided for in this Directive;
(13) Whereas, in order to ensure that the requirements laid down in respect
of undesirable substances and products are satisfied during marketingof feedingstuffs, Member States must make appropriate controlarrangements;
(14) Whereas, as part of the information system introduced by this
Directive within the official control departments, Member Statesshould also be informed by operators of cases where the provisions ofthis Directive are not complied with; whereas, in such cases, Member
States are required to take all measures to enable the use in animal
nutrition of undesirable substances and products to be excluded;whereas Member States are, where appropriate, obliged to ensure thatconsignments of feed materials or feedingstuffs are destroyed, if this
has been decided by its owner;
(15) Whereas an appropriate Community procedure is essential to adjust
the technical provisions laid down in Annexes I and II, todevelopments 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 within theStanding Committee on Feedingstuffs set up by Decision
70/372/EEC (
1);
(17) Whereas this Directive should not affect the obligations of the Member
States concerning the deadlines for transposition of the Directives setout in Annex III, part B,
HAS ADOPTED THIS DIRECTIVE:
Article 1

prescribed for their use, contain levels of the substances and products listed in
Annex I in excess of those fixed for complete feedingstuffs.
Article 9
1. Where a Member State, as a result of new information or of a
reassessment of existing information made since the provisions in questionwere adopted, has detailed grounds for establishing that a maximum content
fixed in Annex I or II or a substance or product not listed therein constitutes a
danger to animal or human health or the environment, that Member State mayprovisionally reduce that content, fix a maximum content or prohibit thepresence of that substance or product in feedingstuffs or feed materials. It
shall immediately inform the other Member States and the Commission
thereof, giving reasons for its decision.

possessed, or has had direct contact with a consignment of feed materials or offeedingstuffs and has knowledge to the effect that:
— the consignment of feed materials is unsuitable for any use in animal
feedingstuffs because of contamination by an undesirable substance or
product listed in Annexes I and II, and therefore does not meet the
provisions of Article 3(1) and consequently constitutes a serious risk foranimal and public health,
— the consignment of feedingstuffs does not meet the provisions of Annex I,
and therefore constitutes a serious risk for animal and public health,
such a person or operator shall immediately inform the official authorities
