Revision of EC Legislation on Animal By-Products not intended for Human Consumption

• Prohibition of recycling certain animal by-products into the animal

feed chain, namely dead animals and other condemned material

• Introduction of a number of alternative methods for the use or

disposal of animal by-products, including compost and biogasification

• Link with Environmental legislation
• Strengthening of rules on controls and traceability in this sector
• Creation of a new legal framework for animal by-products not

intended for human consumption

• Simplification of existing EC legislation =>creation of a consolidated

legislative act dealing with all animal by-products not intended for human consumption

ANIMAL WASTE ANIMAL BY-PRODUCTS High risk material Category 1 Category 2 Low risk material Category 3 DIR.90/667/EC NEW PROPOSAL

• category 1 material: animal by-products

presenting a TSE risk or an unknown risk or a risk related to treatment with illegal substances or to environmental contaminants

• category 2 material: animal by-products

presenting risk related to animal diseases or residues of veterinary drugs

• category 3 material: animal by-products derived

from healthy animals

• Included in the scope of the Regulation by

EP and Council following the FMD crisis

• Covered by the Regulation only when

– derived from international means of transport – destined to animal consumption – destined for use in a biogas plant or for composting

ALTERNATIVE OPTIONS OF DISPOSAL OF ANIMAL BY-PRODUCTS

• INCINERATION
• LANDFILL
• CO-INCINERATION
• BIOGAS
• COMPOSTING
• USE OF MBM AS FERTILIZER
• OTHER ALTERNATIVE WAYS OF DISPOSAL TO

BE ADOPTED IN COMITOLOGY(i.e. Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health -Section Biological Safety)

• Animals suspected of being infected by a TSE or where the presence
• f a TSE has been suspected or officially confirmed, including animals

which were killed in the context of TSE eradication measures

• Specified Risk Material -SRM (including dead ruminant animals

containing it)

• animal material collected when treating waste water from cat.1

processing plants and premises where SRM are removed

• pet animals, zoo and circus animals
• experimental animals
• products derived from animals to which have been administrated

substances prohibited under Directive 96/22/EC or containing residues

• f environmental contaminants listed in Group B (3) of Annex I

Dir.96/23 exceeding permitted levels set in Community legislation

• catering waste from international means of transport

Derogation for burial/burning in remote areas/ emergency circumstances/ pet animals

• Manure and digestive tract content from mammalian animals
• Animal material collected when treating waste water from cat.2 and 3

processing plants and slaughterhouses

• Products containing residues of veterinary drugs and contaminants

listed Group B (1) and (2) of Annex I to Directive 96/23, if such residues exceed the permitted level laid down by Community legislation

• animal by-products other than Category 1 or Category 3 material

– Farmed animals which have died or been killed but not slaughtered for human consumption – fish with clinical signs of communicable diseases

Category 2 material Incineration Dir.2000/76 Co-incineration Dir.2000/76 Landfill Dir.1999/31 Category 2 processing plant Oleo-chemical Bio-gas composting Fertilisers 133° manure Fish ensilage Spread on land

• All parts of slaughtered animals which have been derived from carcases passed fit for

human consumption following ante and post mortem inspection

• Non ruminant blood, hides and skins, hooves and horns, pig bristles and feathers from

slaughtered animals which have passed ante-mortem inspection

• Shells, hatchery by-products and cracked egg by-products from animals which did not

shows clinical signs of any disease communicable through that products to man or animals

• Raw milk originating from healthy animals
• Foodstuff destined to animal consumption for commercial reason or due to defects

which do not present health risks

• Fish caught on the open sea and fish offal from fish products plants
• Blood, hides and skins, hooves, horns, blood, feathers, wool , hair and fur from animals

which did not shows clinical signs of any disease communicable through that products to man or animals (for technical products only)

RULES ON COMPOST AND BIOGASIFICATION OF ANIMAL BY-PRODUCTS

General rules Specific rules for catering waste

General Rules for compost and biogasification of animal by-products

• Only for categories 2 and 3 abp
• biogas plants and composting plants must

– be approved by competent authority – be under the surveillance of the competent authority – establish and implement an HACCP system

• pretreatment (Method 1) of category 2 apb in approved processing

plants

• heat treatment: at least 70°C X 60 min. Equivalent treatments can be

approved by Comitology (i.e. Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health -Section Biological Safety)!

• Microbiological standards: Absence salmonella in 25g, limit for

Enterobacteriaceae

Specific Rules for compost and biogasification of cat.3 catering waste –transformed in a biogas plant or composted in accordance with rules to be adopted in Comitology, or, –pending the adoption of such rules, in accordance with national law

• Ban of

– feeding farmed animals with catering waste (ban of swill feeding) – application to pasture land of organic fertilisers and soil improvers, other than manure, in accordance with implementing rules to be adopted in comitology

• Rules for collection, transport and

identification (markers)

• record keeping
• commercial document/health

certificate

• HACCP

• official controls

–competent authority of MS –EU Food and Veterinary Office => Community inspections and audits

• plants’ own-check

• Amendments 22 and 23 exclude catering waste from the

control rules of the Regulation and making reference to art.4 of Directive 75/442/EEC

• Amendment 25 aiming for

– a specific Regulation laying down rules for the safe disposal of catering waste to be proposed by the Commission within 6 months after the adoption of the ABP Regulation – a derogation for 4 years for the use of catering waste in animal feed
