and the feeding of animal protein

(2001/9/EC)

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European
Community,

Having regard to Council Directive 89/662/EEC of 11
December 1989 concerning veterinary checks
in intra-
Community trade with a view to the completion of the internal
market (1), as last amended by Directive 92/118/EEC (2), and in
particular Article 9(4) thereof,

(4)

Having regard to Council Directive 90/425/EEC of 26 June
1990 concerning veterinary and zootechnical checks applicable
in intra-Community trade in certain live animals and products
with a view to the completion of the internal market (3), as last
amended by Directive 92/118/EEC, and in particular Article
10(4) thereof,

Having regard to Council Directive 97/78/EC of 18 December
1997 laying down the principles governing the organisation of
veterinary checks on products entering the Community from
third countries (4), and in particular Article 22 thereof,

Whereas:

spongiform encephalopathies

Council Decision 2000/766/EC of 4 December 2000
concerning certain protection measures with regard to
and the
transmissible
feeding of animal protein (5), prohibits the feeding of
processed animal proteins to certain farmed animals.
This prohibition does not apply to certain processed
animal proteins subject to conditions to be established.

On 26 June 1998, the Scientific Steering Committee
(SSC) adopted an opinion on the safety of dicalcium
phosphate precipitated from ruminant bones. That
opinion was updated by the SSC on 26 and 27 October
2000. In order to take account of that scientific opinion,
it is necessary to lay down requirements for the produc-
tion of dicalcium phosphate.

On 22 and 23 October 1998, the Scientific Steering
Committee (SSC) adopted an opinion on the safety of
hydrolysed proteins produced from bovine hides. This
opinion was updated by the SSC on 25 and 26 May
2000. In order to take account of that scientific opinion,

(1) OJ L 395, 30.12.1989, p. 13.
(2) OJ L 62, 15.3.1993, p. 49.
(3) OJ L 224, 18.8.1990, p. 29.
(4) OJ L 24, 30.1.1998, p. 9.
(5) OJ L 306, 7.12.2000, p. 32.

it is necessary to lay down requirements for the produc-
tion of hydrolysed proteins. The SSC stated that a
maximum molecular weight of 10 000 Daltons, for the
final product produced, may be used as an indicator of
the effectiveness of the production process.

Decision 2000/766/EC establishes that placing on the
market, trade, importation and exportation of processed
animal proteins for animals not kept, fattened or bred
for the production of food may be allowed by Member
States. It is necessary to set conditions to ensure that
such proteins cannot be used for non authorised
purposes.

(5)

The measures provided for in this Decision are in
accordance with the opinion of the Standing Veterinary
Committee,

HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:

Article 1

1. Member States shall authorise the feeding of fishmeal to
animals other than ruminants, only in accordance with the
conditions laid down in Annex I.

4. Member States shall carry out documentary checks and
tests on feed materials and compound feedingstuffs throughout
the production and distribution chain to ensure compliance

with the provisions of
766/EC. These checks and tests shall be carried out, inter alia, in
farms in which ruminants are kept with other animal species.

Member States shall inform the Commission of the results of

products,

it shall be thoroughly cleaned and inspected before and after the transport of fishmeal.
