COUNCIL DIRECTIVE 96/25/EC
of 29 April 1996
on the circulation of feed materials, amending Directives 70/524/EEC,
74/63/EEC, 82/471/EEC and 93/74/EEC and repealing Directive
77/101/EEC
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 (1),
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (2),
Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and Social Committee (3),
(1) Whereas, in the framework of the production, processing and
consumption of agricultural products feed materials play an importantrole in agriculture;
(2) Whereas, in the light of growing interest in quality, efficiency and the
environment, the role of feed materials in agriculture will gain inimportance;
(3) Whereas, in these circumstances, the rules governing the circulation of
feed materials are particularly useful in ensuring sufficient trans-parency throughout the feed chain while improving the quality of
agricultural production, notably livestock production;
(4) Whereas Council Directive 77/101/EEC of 23 November 1976 on the
marketing of straight feedingstuffs (
4), lays down rules for the
marketing of straight feedingstuffs; whereas Member States still have
different traditions as regards regulating the marketing of rawmaterials; whereas for that reason Directive 77/101/EEC permits
Member States to provide for derogations in certain cases;
(5) Whereas the result of these derogations is that in some Member States
Directive 77/101/EEC governs the marketing of both straight feed-
ingstuffs and raw feed materials and in other Member States only the
marketing of straight feedingstuffs, which allows straight feedingstuffsto be sold as raw feed materials not subject to rules;
(6) Whereas, with a view to the smooth functioning of the internal market,
the discrepancies which can still be noted among the Member Statesshould be removed; whereas, in view of the extent of the sector underconsideration, Directive 77/101/EEC should be replaced by new rules;
(7) Whereas straight feedingstuffs and raw feed materials are so similar
and close, that to ensure a consistent integration of the scope of this
Directive they should be placed in one category, namely ‘feed
materials’;
(8) Whereas the new definition ‘feed materials’ includes the intended
purpose of these products, namely the use in oral animal feeding, as
provided for in the existing definitions for ‘feedingstuffs’ and‘compound feedingstuffs’; whereas it is thus guaranteed that the term‘feedingstuffs’ can now be used as a generic term for all feed materials
and compound feedingstuffs;
(9) Whereas this comprehensive definition for ‘feedingstuffs’ is par-
ticularly important for Council Directive 70/524/EEC of 23 November
1970 concerning additives in feedingstuffs (
5) and Council Directive
74/63/EEC of 17 December 1973 on undesirable substances andproducts in animal nutrition (
6); whereas in certain cases both terms!B

(3) OJ No C 102, 24. 4. 1995, p. 10.

(OJ No L 353, 17. 12. 1990, p. 48).
(5) OJ No L 270, 14. 12. 1970, p. 1. Directive as last amended by Commission
Directive 95/55/EC (OJ No L 263, 4. 11. 1995, p. 18).
(6) OJ No L 38, 11. 2. 1974, p. 31. Directive as last amended by Directive 93/74/EEC
(OJ No L 237, 22. 9. 1993, p. 23).1996L0025 — EN — 04.05.1999 — 002.001 — 2
‘feedingstuffs’ and ‘feed materials’ will be used in order to specify the
provisions, since in Directive 74/63/EEC certain provisions only applyto feed materials, whereas other provisions apply to all feedingstuffsincluding feed materials;
(10) Whereas, in order to achieve the desired transparency throughout the
entire feed chain, this Directive covers the ‘circulation’ of feedmaterials;
(11) Whereas satisfactory results in livestock production depend to a large
extent on the right use of suitable, good quality feed materials;
whereas feed materials must therefore always be sound, genuine and of
merchantable quality; whereas they must neither represent a danger toanimal or human health nor be marketed in a manner liable to mislead;
(12) Whereas, since many products can have either a feed or a non-feed
purpose, the feed purpose must be indicated by compulsory ad hoc
labelling when the products in question are put into circulation for thatpurpose;
(13) Whereas the circulation of feed materials in many cases occurs in bulk
consignments, whether or not split up into several units; whereas such
materials are generally accompanied by documents such as invoices
and waybills; whereas these papers may serve as ‘accompanyingdocuments’ within the meaning of Article 5 of this Directive; whereasthis is permitted only if identification of (the units of) the consignment
and the existence of a common reference and an accompanying
document is properly guaranteed at all stages of circulation, forexample by the use of reference numbers or signs;
(14) Whereas, since feed materials can differ in health and nutritional
quality, a clear distinction should be made between the different feedmaterials by subjecting them, when they are put into circulation, to a
labelling requirement indicating their specific names;
(15) Whereas the buyers or users of feed materials should throughout the
feed chain be given accurate and valid additional information, such as
the quantities of analytical constituents having a direct effect on the
quality of the feed material; whereas failure by the seller to declare thequantities of analytical constituents should be avoided in order toprotect small buyers claiming this information in vain and to avoid the
unnecessary costs of a multiplication of analyses immediately before
the end of the feed chain; whereas certain Member States experiencedifficulties in conducting inspections at farm level; whereas under
these circumstances it is necessary to adopt provisions requiring the
quantities of analytical constituents to be declared at the beginning ofthe feed chain;
(16) Whereas labelling particulars concerning the analytic composition of
feed materials are not required if, before the transaction, the purchaserdeems that he has no need of such information; whereas this labellingexemption may apply in particular to products stored until such time as
they are the subject of a new transaction;
(17) Whereas the circulation of feed materials between farmers in the great
majority of cases consists of products of vegetable or animal origin, in
their natural state, fresh or preserved, whether or not subjected tosimple physical treatment such as chopping or grinding and not treatedwith additives, except for preservatives; whereas for general reasons of
knowledge of the characteristics of such products and for practical
reasons no declaration referred to in this Directive should be requiredon an accompanying document such as an invoice; whereas this shouldnevertheless be required where the products in question are treated
with additives as such treatment may change the chemical composition
and nutritional value of the products;
(18) Whereas feed materials of animal or vegetable origin are sold in small
quantities by many retailers, frequently for feeding pet animals;whereas for general reasons of knowledge of the characteristics of suchproducts and for practical reasons no constituent declaration should be
required for these products;
(19) Whereas, in certain third countries, there are not always the necessary
means of carrying out analyses which make it possible to supply the
information required by this Directive on the analytic composition of
feed materials; whereas Member States should therefore be allowed,!B1996L0025 — EN — 04.05.1999 — 002.001 — 3
on certain conditions, to permit such materials to be put into
circulation in the Community accompanied by provisional compositiondata;
(20) Whereas, where reliable definitive data on analytical constituents are
not available, in particular of feed materials from third countries putinto circulation in the Community for the first time, in order to avoidunnecessary clogging of ports and road/rail links there should be the
possibility of giving final confirmation of provisionally declared data
within 10 working days;
(21) Whereas several basic Community regulations provide for lists of
ingredients and straight feedingstuffs;
(22) Whereas, for practical reasons and to ensure the necessary legal
consistency and efficiency, a list of the main feed materials similar to
lists already established in comparable areas should be drawn up;
(23) Whereas such a list cannot be exhaustive owing to the great diversity
of products and by-products which may be traded and used, the
constant development of food technology and the need not to restrict
choice for manufacturers and farmers; whereas it is possible to allowthe circulation of feed materials other than those included in theabovementioned list provided that they are designated by specific
names preventing any confusion with materials qualifying for a name
laid down at Community level;
(24) Whereas feed materials containing levels of undesirable substances
and products higher than those indicated for straight feedingstuffs in
Annex I to Directive 74/63/EEC should be supplied only to compoundfeed manufacturers approved in accordance with the provisions ofCouncil Directive 95/69/EC of 22 December 1995 laying down the
conditions and arrangements for approving and registering certain
establishments and intermediaries operating in the animal feedsector (
1); whereas this should be stated on compulsory specific
labelling indicating the intended use of the product; whereas these
undesirable substances and products should be included on the list ofPart B of Annex II to Directive 74/63/EEC, with certain exceptionsrelating to aflatoxin, cadmium and arsenic and feed materials
containing these substances, which are already listed in Annex II,
Part A to Directive 74/63/EEC;
(25) Whereas amendment of the list of the chief feed materials constitutes a
scientific measure;
(26) Whereas the list in Part B of the Annex to this Directive should be used
for the circulation of feed materials, irrespective of intended use, and
for the labelling of feed materials used in compound feeds;
(27) Whereas Commission Directive 92/87/EEC of 26 October 1992
establishing a non-exclusive list of the main ingredients normally used
and marketed for the preparation of compound feedingstuffs intended
for animals other than pets (
2) draws up for labelling purposes a list of
ingredients of compound feedingstuffs; whereas the said Directiveshould be repealed as from the application of Parts A and B of this
Directive;
(28) Whereas, in order to improve the unambiguity and comparability at
international level of systems for identifying and exchanging data on
feed materials, the Commission should be instructed to adopt
implementing arrangements, when appropriate, for the introductionof a practical international coding system for feed materials, based onglossaries of the various aspects of feedingstuffs, such as origin, role,
process, maturity/quality;
(29) Whereas, in order to facilitate the adoption of implementing measures,
the procedure introducing cooperation between the Member States and
the Commission within the Standing Committee on Feedingstuffs
should be followed;
(30) Whereas it is important to ensure that, in accordance with this
Directive, the accuracy of the declarations made can be officially
verified in a uniform way throughout the Community, at all stages ofcirculation of the feed materials;!B
(1) OJ No L 332, 30. 12. 1995, p. 15.

(31) Whereas the introduction of this Directive entails deletion of the terms
‘straight feedingstuffs’, ‘raw materials (ingredients)’, ‘raw materials’and ‘ingredients’; whereas these terms should be replaced in currentCommunity legislation, in particular in Council Directives
70/524/EEC, 74/63/EEC, 82/471/EEC (
1) and 93/74/EEC (2) by the
terms ‘feed materials’, and where appropriate the definition ‘feedmaterials’ should be replaced by the definition given in this Directive;whereas this also has an impact on the definition of compound
feedingstuffs; whereas Commission Directives 80/511/EEC (
3),
82/475/EEC (4) and 91/357/EEC (5) and Commission Decision
91/516/EEC (6) should be amended for the same reason, by means of
a Commission act;
(32) Whereas it is necessary to ensure that the provisions of the Annexes
are continually adjusted to take account of the latest developments inscientific or technical knowledge; whereas such amendments will have
to be made swiftly using the procedure laid down by this Directive in
order to establish close cooperation between Member States and theCommission within the Standing Committee on Feedingstuffs;
(33) Whereas, on grounds of the effective protection of animal and human
health and to ensure the smooth functioning of the internal market,action should be taken at Community level,

PA RT A
General
I. EXPLANATOR Y NOTES
1. Feed materials are listed and named in Part B in accordance with the
following criteria:
— the origin of the product/by-product, e.g. animal, vegetable,
mineral,
— the part of the product/by-product used, e.g. whole, seeds, tubers,
bones,
— the processing to which the product/by-product has been subjected,
e.g. decortication, extraction, heating and/or the resulting product/
by-product, e.g. flakes, bran, pulp, fat,
— the maturity of the product/by-product and/or the quality of the
product/by-product, e.g. ‘low in glucosinolate’, ‘rich in fat’, ‘lowin sugar’.
2. The list set out in Part B is divided into 12 chapters.
1. Cereal grains, their products and by-products2. Oil seeds, oil fruits, their products and by-products3. Legume seeds, their products and by-products4. Tubers, roots, their products and by-products5. Other seeds and fruits, their products and by-products6. Forages and roughages7. Other plants, their products and by-products8. Milk products9. Land animal products10. Fish, other marine animals, their products and by-products11. Minerals12. Miscellaneous.
II. PROVISIONS REGARDING BOTANICAL AND CHEMICAL PURITY
1. Notwithstanding Article 3, feed materials must, as far as good
manufacturing practices allow, be free from chemical impuritiesresulting from their manufacturing process and from technical
auxiliaries as referred to in Directive 70/524/EEC, unless a specific
maximum content is fixed in Part B of the Annex for a specific feedmaterial.
2. The botanical purity of the products and by-products listed in Part B and
Part C shall not be less than 95 %, unless a different level has been laiddown in Part B or Part C.
The following are considered as botanical impurities:
(a) natural but harmless impurities (e.g. straw and straw waste, seeds
of other cultivated species or weeds);
(b) harmless residues of other oil seeds or oil fruits derived from a
previous manufacturing process, the level of which does not
exceed 0,5 %.
3. The botanical purity levels indicated refer to the weight of the product
and by-product as such.
III. PROVISIONS REGARDING DESIGNATIONS
Where the name of a feed material in Part B includes a word or words in
brackets, the bracketed word(s) may be omitted, e.g. soya (bean) oil may be
declared as soya bean oil or soya oil.
IV . PROVISIONS REGARDING THE GLOSSAR Y
The glossary given below refers to the main processes used for the preparation
of feed materials mentioned in Part B and Part C of this Annex. Where the!

This does not apply to:
— milk and milk products,— gelatin,
— amino acids obtained from hides and skins by a process which
involves exposure of the material to a pH of 1 to 2 followed by apH of411, followed by heat treatment at 140 °C for 30 minutes at
3 bar,
— dicalcium phosphate derived from defatted bones, and
— dried plasma and other blood products.
2. Where a Member State prohibits the use of protein derived from
mammalian tissue as referred to in the first sentence of paragraph 1, infeedingstuffs for certain animals other than ruminants, as permitted byArticle 1(2) of Directive 90/667/EEC, the statement required inparagraph 1 must mention in addition the other animal species orcategories of animals to which it has extended the prohibition on the use
of the products in question.!
