COUNCIL  DECISION of 22 June 1995 laying down the veterinary and animal health rules applicable in the  United Kingdom and Ireland to the treatment of certain types of waste intended to be marketed  locally as feedstuffs for certain animal categories (95/348/EC)
THE COUNCIL OF THE  EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 90/667/EEC of 27 November 1990 laying down the veterinary rules  for the disposal and processing of animal waste, for its placing on the market and for the  prevention of pathogens in feedstuffs of animal or fish origin and amending Directive 90/425/EEC   (1), and in particular Article 7 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas it is necessary to lay down rules applicable to the treatment of certain types of waste  intended to be marketed locally, through intermediaries already authorized to handle small  quantities of waste for use as food for animals whose flesh is not intended for human consumption;
Whereas account should be taken of the importance of the traditional 'knacker trade` in the  arrangements for disposal of certain animal wastes in Ireland and the United Kingdom;
Whereas the veterinary controls must be established to ensure that no human and animal health risks  will arise,
