Operative part of the judgment
Article 7(1), Article 9(h) and Article 10(a) and (f) of Regulation (EC) No 1069/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 21 October 2009 laying down health rules as regards animal by-products and derived products not intended for human consumption and repealing Regulation (EC) No 1774/2002 (Animal by-products Regulation), read in the light of Article 4(2) of that regulation, must be interpreted as meaning that animal by-products originally classified as Category 3 material, in accordance with Article 10(a) and (f) thereof, which are altered by decomposition or deterioration, or mixed with foreign bodies, such as pieces of plaster or sawdust, so that they are no longer fit for human consumption and/or pose a risk to human or animal health, do not comply with the level of risk associated with that classification and must therefore be reclassified into a lower category.
