Amended  proposal  for  a 

Council  Directive 

of 

on  the  undesirable  substances  in  animal  nutrition 

86/354/EEC  -  Art.  1 (1). 

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  Parlia 
ment  (*); 

Having  regard  to  the  Opinion  of  the  Economic  and  So 
cial  Committee  (2); 

(1)  Whereas  Council  Directive  74/63/lWC  of  17  December 
1973  on  the  undesirable  substances  in  animal  nutri 
tion (•*)  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 satis 
factory  results  depend  to  a  large  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  sub 
stances  or  products  which  can  endanger  animal  health 
or,  because  of  their  presence  in  livestock  products,  hu 
man  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  prevent  undesirable  and  harmful  ef 
fects;  whereas  it  is  at  present  impossible  to  fix  this  con 
tent  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  this  Directive  and  may  not  be 
used  in  any  other  way  for  the  purposes  of  animal  feed 
ing;  whereas  this  Directive  should  therefore  apply  with 
out  prejudice  to other  Community  provisions  on  feeding 
stuffs,  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  undesirable  substances  and  products 
higher  than  those  provided  for  in  Annexes  I  and  II; 

(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  the 
feed  materials  and  feedingstuffs  are  put  into  circulation, 
including  all  stages  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  putting  into  circula 
tion  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  being  exceeded; 

(10)  Whereas  it  is proper  to  limit  the  presence  of  certain  un 
desirable  substances  or  products  in  complementary  feed 
ingstuffs  by  fixing  appropriate  maximum  levels; 

(11)  Whereas  Member  States  should  retain  the  power,  if  ani 
mal  or  human  health  is  endangered,  to  reduce  tempo 
rarily  the  fixed  maximum  permissible  levels  or  to  fix 
maximum  levels  for  other  substances  or  products  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  on  supporting  documents  should 
be  decided  on  by  emergency  Community  procedure; 

(12)  Whereas  feedingstuffs  satisfying  the  requirements  of  this 
Directive  should  not  be  subject,  with  regard  to  their  lev 
el  of  undesirable  substances  and  products,  to  restrictions 
on  their  entry  into  circulation  other  than  those  provided 
for  in  this  Directive; 

13.

(13)  Whereas,  in  order  to  ensure  that  the  requirements  laid 
down  in  respect  of  undesirable  substances  and  products 
are  satisfied  during  marketing  of  feedingstuffs,  Member 
States  must  make  appropriate  control  arrangements;

Member  States  should  also  be  informed  by  operators  of 
cases  where  the  provisions  of  this  Directive  are  not  com

required  to  take  all  measures  to  enable  the  use  in  ani 
mal  nutrition  of  undesirable  substances  and  products  to 
be  excluded;  whereas  Member  States  are,  where  ap 
propriate,  obliged  to  ensure  that  consignments  of  feed 
materials  or  feedingstuffs  are  destroyed,  if  this  has  been 
decided  by  its  owner;

In  accordance  with  the  procedure  laid  down  in  Article

professional  activities,  possesses,  or  has  possessed,  or  has 
had  direct  contact  with  a  consignment  of  feed  materials  or 
of  feedingstuffs  and  has  knowledge  to  the  effect  that: 

— 

the  consignment  of  feed  materials  is  unsuitable  for 
any  use  in  animal  feedingstuffs  because  of  contamina 
tion  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  consti 
tutes  a  serious  risk  for  animal  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  even  if  the  destruction  of  the  consign 
ment  is  envisaged. 

After  verifying  the  information  received,  Member  States 
shall  ensure  that,  in  the  case  of  a  contaminated  consign 
ment,  the  measures  necessary  are  taken  to  ensure  that  the 
consignment  is  not  used  in  animal  nutrition. 

Member  States  shall  ensure  that  the  final  destination  of 
the  contaminated  consignment,  including  possible  destruc 
tion,  cannot  have  harmful  effects  on  public  or  animal 
health  or  on  the  environment. 

4. 
If  a  consignment  of  feed  materials  or  a  consignment 
of  feedingstuffs  is  likely  to  be  sent  to  a  Member  State 
after  it  has  been  judged  not  to  comply  with  the  provisions 
of  this  Directive  on  account  of  an  excessive  content  of 
undesirable  substances  or  products  in  another  Member 
State,  the  latter  Member  State  shall  immediately  give  the 
other  Member  States  and  the  Commission  any  useful  in 
formation  concerning  that  consignment.
