Operative part of the judgment
1. |
Part I of the annex to Commission Decision 2002/994/EC of 20 December 2002 concerning certain protective measures with regard to the products of animal origin imported from China, as amended by Commission Implementing Decision (EU) 2015/1068 of 1 July 2015, must be interpreted as meaning that the term ‘fishery products’ includes products intended for human consumption, and not products intended for animal feed, and that, consequently, fish oil intended for animal feed is not a ‘fishery product’ within the meaning of that annex. |
2. |
The examination of the second question has revealed nothing capable of affecting the validity of Part I of the annex to Decision 2002/994, as amended by Implementing Decision 2015/1068. |
