amending Annexes I, II, VII, VIII, X and XI to Regulation (EC) No 1774/2002 of the European Parliament
and of the Council as regards the placing on the market of certain animal by-products

(Text with EEA relevance)

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

(2)

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European
Community,

Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 1774/2002 of the Euro-
pean Parliament and of the Council of 3 October 2002 laying
down health rules concerning animal by-products not intended
for human consumption (1) and in particular the second para-
graph of Article 28, the first subparagraph of Article 29(3) and
Article 32(1),

Whereas:

(1)

Regulation (EC) No 1774/2002 lays down animal and
public health requirements for the importation into and
transit
through the Community of certain animal
by-products and products derived there from. That Regu-
lation provides for general hygiene requirements for the
processing of Category 1, 2 and 3 materials and also sets
out requirements for the placing on the market of those
animal by-products and products derived therefrom
including model health certificates for their importation
into the Community.

Due to the threat of introduction of the small hive beetle
into the Community, which is currently free of that para-
site,
it is necessary to lay down requirements for the
importation of beeswax, intended for technical purposes,
and also to amend the definition of apiculture products
in Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 1774/2002. Therefore,
the relevant definition in Annex I to that Regulation, the
import

Annex VIII and the model health certificate set out in
Chapter 13 of Annex X to that Regulation should be
amended accordingly.

requirements

Chapter X of Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 1774/2002
lays down a model commercial document to accompany
animal by-products and processed products during trans-
portation. In order to improve the traceability of hides
and skins during transportation, it is necessary to amend
that model document. Annex II to that Regulation should
therefore be amended accordingly.

Regulation (EC) No 999/2001 of the European Parliament
and of the Council of 22 May 2001 laying down rules for
the prevention, control and eradication of certain trans-
missible spongiform encephalopathies (2) applies to the
production and placing on the market of live animals and
products of animal origin. It prohibits the feeding of pro-
cessed animal protein to farmed animals which are kept,
fattened or bred for the production of food.

(5) While that prohibition in Regulation (EC) No 999/2001
remains in force, less stringent processing requirements as
laid down in Chapter II of Annex VII to Regulation (EC)
No 1774/2002 than the current processing Method 1
should apply to processed animal protein derived from
porcine blood, as there is no scientific indication of a risk
of transmitting TSEs from pigs. It is necessary however for
public and animal health reasons to introduce a minimum
temperature requirement for the processing of porcine

blood. Chapter II of Annex VII
No 1774/2002 should therefore be amended accordingly.

II A(1) of Annex VIII

Chapter
to Regulation (EC)
No 1774/2002 permits the use of parts of slaughtered ani-
mals which are fit for human consumption but are not
intended for human consumption for commercial reasons
in the manufacture of raw petfood within the Commu-
nity. It appears that parts of such animals which are
rejected as unfit for human consumption but which are
not affected by any signs of disease communicable to
humans or animals may also be safely used in petfood.
Chapter II A (1) and Chapter XI of Annex VIII to that
Regulation, the latter providing for the respective provi-
sions for the importation into the Community, should
therefore be amended accordingly.

It is necessary to amend the existing model health certifi-
cates for the importation of hides and skins into the Com-
munity, in order to introduce some technical amendments.
In the interest of clarity, the specific requirements for those
products set out in Chapter VI of Annex VIII, and the
model health certificates set out in Chapters 5(A), 5(B)
and 5(C) of Annex X to Regulation (EC) No 1774/2002
should therefore be amended accordingly.

The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) in its Scien-
tific Opinion on Animal health and welfare aspects of avian
influenza, adopted on 13 and 14 September 2005, con-
cluded that feathers should be treated before trade, in
order to reduce the risk of the spread of avian influenza.
Chapter VIII of Annex VIII
to Regulation (EC)
No 1774/2002 lays down the permanent Community
measures concerning the placing of the market and impor-
tation of feathers. In the light of that opinion and the cur-
rent worldwide epidemiological situation regarding avian
influenza, it is appropriate to amend the relevant Commu-
nity measures for the importation and treatment of feath-
ers prior to importation. Annex VIII to that Regulation
should therefore be amended accordingly.

than petfood containing such protein should be amended
accordingly in order to provide for equivalent processing
possibilities for third countries as for the Community.
Chapter I of Annex X to Regulation (EC) No 1774/2002
should therefore be amended accordingly.

Chapter 3(B) of Annex X to Regulation (EC)
No 1774/2002 sets out the model health certificate for
the importation into the Community of processed pet
food, other than canned pet food. It appears that pro-
cessed pet food is increasingly produced in third coun-
tries by mixing already processed ingredients which have
individually been treated in compliance with the require-
ments of that Regulation. Heat treatment of such ingredi-
ents could have adverse effects on their nutritional
qualities. Therefore, the importation into the Community
of processed petfood consisting of such safe ingredients
should be allowed and the model health certificate set out
in Chapter 3(B) of Annex X to Regulation (EC)
No 1774/2002 should be amended accordingly.

Regulation (EC) No 1774/2002 provides that certain ani-
mal by-products for the manufacture of petfood may be
imported into the Community although they contain
material which has been derived from animals treated with
certain prohibited substances. However, the importation
into the Community of processed petfood, dogchews and
flavouring innards containing such material is currently
not allowed. Since it appears that the health risk is not
higher when importing such material for the production
of petfood within the Community than in case such mate-
is an ingredient of imported processed pet food,
rial
dogchews and flavouring innards, the importation into the
Community of these processed products containing such
material should also be allowed. Therefore, the model
health certificates set out in Chapters 3(A), 3(B), 3(C)
and 3(E) of Annex X to Regulation (EC) No 1774/2002
should be amended accordingly.

Chapter 3(B) of Annex X to Regulation (EC)
No 1774/2002 provides that the health certificate for pro-
cessed pet food, other than canned petfood, must contain
a certificate stating that the pet food was packed in new
packaging, which bears labels indicating ‘not intended for
human consumption’. Council Directive 79/373/EEC of
2 April 1979 on the marketing of compound feeding-
stuffs (1) already provides for equivalent marking require-
ments which prevent unintentional or negligent misuse of
such products for human consumption. The requirements
for the model health certificate in Chapter 3(B) of Annex X
to Regulation (EC) No 1774/2002 should take account of
therefore, be amended
that
accordingly.

(13) Annex VIII to Regulation (EC) No 1774/2002 lays down
requirements for the placing on the market and importa-
tion into the Community of pet food, dogchews and tech-
nical products. Chapter II B(4) of that Annex provides that
dogchews must have undergone a heat treatment during
processing sufficient to destroy pathogenic organisms.
Several Member States have requested to allow other treat-
ments, during processing of dogchews, which provide
equivalent safety guarantees. Therefore, Chapter II B(4) of
Annex VIII to Regulation (EC) No 1774/2002 should be
amended accordingly.

(14)

(15)

Chapter 3(C) of Annex X to Regulation (EC)
No 1774/2002 sets out the model health certificate for
the importation into the Community of dogchews. Since
other treatments than heat treatment shall be allowed for
the processing of dogchews within the Community, those
other treatments should also be allowed for imported
dogchews. Some dogchews are produced according to tra-
ditional methods from fish. Animal health considerations
do not require a heat treatment in such case. Therefore,
the model health certificate in Chapter 3(C) of Annex X
to that Regulation should be amended accordingly.

II B(6) of Annex VIII

Chapter
to Regulation (EC)
No 1774/2002 lays down microbiological standards
applicable to raw petfood produced in the Community.
Those standards should also be imposed on imports into
the Community of raw petfood for direct sale and on ani-
mal by-products to be fed to farmed fur animals intended
for dispatch to the Community. Chapter 3(D) of Annex X
of

accordingly.

that Regulation should therefore be

(16) Annex XI to Regulation (EC) No 1774/2002 sets out lists
of third countries from which Member States may autho-
rise imports of animal by-products not intended for
human consumption. Part XIII of that Annex provides for
a list of third countries from which Member States may
authorise the imports of serum of equidae. According to
that part XIII, this list includes third countries referred to
in Annex I to Commission Decision 2004/211/EC of
6 January 2004 establishing the list of third countries and
parts of territory thereof from which Member States
authorise imports of live equidae and semen, ova and
embryos of the equine species, and amending Decisions
93/195/EECand 94/63/EC (1), from which the importation
of equidae for slaughter is allowed.

(17)

(18)

Serum of equidae may, however, be sourced from living
animals. Therefore, the animal health status allowing for
the inclusion of a third country in that list of third coun-
tries from which the importation of equidae for breeding
and production is allowed should be sufficient to deter-
mine whether serum of equidae may be imported from
this third country. That would, in particular, allow for the
importation of serum of equidae from Mexico. Part XIII
of Annex XI to Regulation (EC) No 1774/2002 should
therefore be amended accordingly.

Veterinary certificates shall be provided for in the format
laid down in Commission Decision 2007/240/EC (2)
regarding the adoption of harmonized templates for vet-
erinary certificates related to the import into the European
Community of live animals and products of animal ori-
gin. The commercial document laid down in Annex II,
Chapter X to Regulation (EC) No 1774/2002 and the
model health certificates laid down in Annex X to that
Regulation should be amended accordingly.

(19) A transitional period should be provided for after the date
of entry into force of this Regulation, in order to allow
for the continued importation into the Community of the
animal by-products and products derived there from cov-
ered by Regulation (EC) No 1774/2002 and accompanied
by health certificates in compliance with that Regulation
