Economic Community, and in particular Article 152 thereof,

Having regard to the opinion of the Committee of the Regions,

Acting in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article
251 of the Treaty,

Whereas:

(1) Many amendments need to be made to Council Directive
1999/29/EC of 22 April 1999 on the undesirable
substances and products in animal nutrition (1).
In the
interests of clarity and efficiency the said Directive
should be recast;

(2) Livestock production occupies a very important place in
farming in the Community and satisfactory results depend
to a large extent on the use of appropriate good-quality
feedingstuffs;

(3) Rules on feedingstuffs are needed to increase agricultural

productivity;

(4) It has been established that additives can be contaminated
with undesirable substances and products. The scope of
the Directive should therefore be extended to cover
additives;

(5) Feed materials,

feedingstuffs and feed additives may
contain undesirable substances or products which can
endanger animal health or, because of their presence in
livestock products, human health;

(6) It is impossible to fully eliminate the presence of

the
substances and products in question but it is important
that their content in feed materials and feed additives
should be reduced in order to prevent undesirable and
harmful effects. It is at present inappropriate to fix this

(8) This Directive must apply to feed materials, feedingstuffs
and feed additives as soon as they enter the Community. It
should therefore be stipulated that the maximum levels of
undesirable substances or products that are set apply in
general from the date on which the feed materials, feed-
ingstuffs and feed additives are put
into circulation,
including all stages of marketing, and in particular as
soon as they are imported;

(9) Feed materials, feedingstuffs and feed additives must be
sound, genuine and of merchantable quality. Using or
putting into circulation feed materials,
feedingstuffs or
feed additives containing levels of undesirable substances
or products that exceed the maximum levels laid down in
Annex I to this Directive should therefore be prohibited;

so as to reduce their presence in the feed and food
chain.

This Directive shall apply without prejudice to the

provisions on:

(13) Feed materials, feedingstuffs and feed additives that satisfy
the requirements of this Directive should not be subject to
restrictions on entry into circulation, as regards the level
of undesirable substances and products they contain, other
than those provided for in this Directive;

cannot be used in animal nutrition.
and products
Member States are obliged, where applicable, to ensure
that any batches of feed materials, feedingstuffs or feed
additives are actually destroyed, if this course of action has
been decided by their owner;

(16) An appropriate Community procedure is needed for
adapting the technical provisions in the Annex to this
Directive in the light of developments in scientific and
technical knowledge;

the proposed
measures, there should be a procedure for close coop-
eration between the Member States and the Commission

this Directive are measures of general scope within the
meaning of Article 2 of Council Decision 1999/468/EC of
28 June 1999 laying down the procedures for the exercise
of implementing powers conferred on the Commission (2),
they should be adopted by use of the regulatory procedure
provided for in Article 5 of that Decision;

should be amended.

So long as neither the Council nor the Commission has taken a
decision, the Member State may maintain the measures it has

Article 10

1. Member States shall take all necessary measures to ensure
that feedingstuffs, feed materials and feed additives are officially
monitored, at least by random sampling, to verify whether the
conditions laid down in this Directive are satisfied.

2. Member States shall inform the other Member States and
the Commission of the names of the departments appointed to
carry out this monitoring.

3. Member States
shall prescribe that where operators
(importers, producers, etc.) or persons who, by virtue of

of, or have had direct contact with a consignment of feed
materials, feedingstuffs or feed additives, become aware that:

(cid:151) a given consignment of feed materials is unsuitable for any
use in animal nutrition either because it is contaminated
with an undesirable substance or product listed in Annex I
and therefore does not comply with Article 3(1) and
consequently constitutes a serious
risk for animal or
public health, or because it is contaminated with an unde-
