Abstract

These Regulations implement, in relation to products for animal feeding Commission Decision 2000/150/EC amending Decision 1999/788/EC on protective measures with regard to contamination by dioxins of certain products of animal origin intended for human or animal consumption. Like the revoked Regulations, these Regulations: (a) define "controlled entity" (reg. 2) and prohibit, subject to exceptions (reg. 3), the carrying out of specified operations with respect thereto (reg. 4); (b) specify the enforcement authorities (reg. 5); and (c) apply, with modifications, provisions of food Safety (Northern Ireland) Order 1991 (reg. 6). The Regulations make the following changes of substance: (a) they narrow the coverage of the revoked Regulations in that, from the range of products subject to the controls contained in those Regulations and to be used for feed, the following are removed, namely eggs, rendered fats, processed animal proteins, compound feedingstuffs and premixtures; and (b) they reflects changes to the certification requirements for the importation from Belgium of products remaining subject to controls and for the return to Belgium of those products.
