Abstract

The present Regulation, adopted by the Ministry of Agriculture and Food, and the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Fisheries, implements Regulation (EU) 2019/4 of the European Parliament and of the Council on the manufacture, placing on the market and use of medicated feed. It applies to the manufacture, use, storage, transport, distribution, import, export, and prescribing of medicated feed and intermediate products. It does not apply to veterinary drugs defined in Regulation (EU) 2019/6 on veterinary medicinal products, unless they are incorporated into medicated feed or an intermediate product. In the event of any conflict between the provisions of Regulation (EU) 2019/4 and this Regulation, the provisions of the former shall take precedence. The Norwegian Food Safety Authority shall carry out inspections and take the necessary administrative decisions to enforce the provisions of this Regulation. Any business that manufactures, stores, transports, or distributes medicated feed or intermediate products is required to obtain approval from the Norwegian Food Safety Authority for each unit operated by the business.
