COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 78/2005
of 19 January 2005
amending Regulation (EC) No 466/2001 as regards heavy metals
(Text with EEA relevance)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

On the basis of new information on the achievability of maximum levels in certain aquatic species it is necessary to revise the relevant provisions of Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 466/2001 for these contaminants in certain foods. The revised provisions maintain a high level of consumer health protection. |
(3) |
Regulation (EC) No 466/2001 should be amended accordingly. |
(4) |
The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health, |

COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 79/2005
of 19 January 2005
implementing Regulation (EC) No 1774/2002 of the European Parliament and of the Council as regards the use of milk, milk-based products and milk-derived products, defined as Category 3 material in that Regulation
(Text with EEA relevance)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 1774/2002 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 3 October 2002 laying down health rules concerning animal by-products not intended for human consumption (1), and in particular Article 6 (2) (i) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) |
Regulation (EC) No 1774/2002 lays down the public and animal health rules for the collection, transport, storage, handling, processing and use or disposal of animal by-products in order to prevent those products from presenting a risk to public or animal health. |
(2) |
Regulation (EC) No 1774/2002 lays down rules for the use of certain animal by-products derived from the production of products intended for human consumption and former foodstuffs of animal origin, falling within the definition of Category 3 material in that Regulation, including milk and milk-based products no longer intended for human consumption. Regulation (EC) No 1774/2004 also provides for the possibility to use Category 3 material in other ways, in accordance with the procedure laid down in that Regulation and after consultation of the appropriate scientific committee. |
(3) |
According to opinions of the Scientific Steering Committee of 1996, 1999 and 2000, there is no evidence that milk transmits bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) and any risk from milk is considered to be negligible. In its state of affairs report of 15 March 2001, the TSE/BSE ad hoc Group upheld that advice. |
(4) |
On the basis of those opinions, milk, milk-based products and colostrum are derogated from the prohibition on the feeding of animal protein to farmed animals, which are kept, fattened or bred for the production of food, in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 999/2001 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 22 May 2001 laying down rules for the prevention, control and eradication of certain transmissible spongiform encephalophathies (2). |
(5) |
Regulation (EC) No 1774/2002 does not apply to liquid milk and colostrum disposed of or used on the farm of origin. That Regulation also permits the application to land of milk and colostrum as a fertiliser or soil improver, if the competent authority does not consider them to present a risk of spreading any serious transmissible disease, given that farmed animals could have access to such land and therefore could be exposed to such a risk. |
(6) |
Under Regulation (EC) No 1774/2002, Category 3 material is to be used in accordance with strict conditions and the feeding of such material to farmed animals is allowed only after processing in an approved Category 3 processing plant. |
(7) |
Animal by-products derived from the production of dairy products intended for human consumption and former dairy foodstuffs are generally produced in establishments approved in accordance with Council Directive 92/46/EEC of 16 June 1992 laying down the health rules for the production and placing on the market of raw milk, heat-treated milk and milk-based products (3). Ready-to-use dairy products are generally wrapped and, therefore, the possibility for subsequent contamination of the product is minimal. |
(8) |
The Commission is to seek the advice of the European Food Safety Authority on the possibility to feed to farmed animals, and under the required conditions to minimise risks, ready-to-use milk, milk-based products and milk-derived products, falling within the definition of Category 3 material in Regulation (EC) No 1774/2002, (the products), without further treatment. |
(9) |
Pending that advice and in the light of the current scientific opinions and of the Scientific Committee on Animal Health and Animal Welfare report on the strategy for emergency vaccination against foot-and-mouth disease of 1999, it is appropriate to lay down, on a provisional basis, specific measures for the collection, transportation, processing, and use of these products. |
(10) |
Appropriate control systems should be put in place in the Member States to ensure compliance with this Regulation and to take appropriate actions in case of non-compliance. Member States should also take into account their risk assessment for the best and worst case scenarios carried out in preparation of their contingency plans for epizootic diseases, when deciding on the number of registered holdings that may be authorised to use the products concerned. |
(11) |
The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health, |
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
General authorisation by Member States
Member States shall authorise the collection, transportation, processing, use and storage of milk, milk-based products and milk-derived products, falling within the definition of Category 3 material, as referred to in Articles 6(1)(e), 6(1)(f) and 6(1)(g) of Regulation (EC) No 1774/2002, that have not been processed in accordance with Chapter V of Annex VII to that Regulation (the products), provided that these activities and products comply with the requirements set out in this Regulation.
Article 2
Use as feed of processed products and whey and unprocessed products
1. Processed products and whey, as referred to in Annex I, may be used as feed in accordance with the requirements laid down in that Annex.
2. Unprocessed products and other products, as referred to in Annex II, may be used as feed in accordance with the requirements laid down in that Annex.
Article 3

However, the first subparagraph shall not apply to operators of milk-processing establishments approved in accordance with Article 10 of Directive 92/46/EEC when collecting and returning to their establishment products which they have previously delivered to their customers.
2. The storage of the products shall take place at an appropriate temperature to avoid any risk to public or animal health, either:
(a) |
in a dedicated storage plant approved for that purpose in accordance with Article 11 of Regulation (EC) No 1774/2002; or |
(b) |
in a dedicated, separate storage area in an establishment approved in accordance with Article 10 of Directive 92/46/EEC. |
3. Samples of the final products taken during storage or at the time of withdrawal from storage, shall at least comply with the microbiological standards set out in Chapter I(D)(10) of Annex VII to Regulation (EC) No 1774/2002.
Article 4
Authorisation, registration and control measures
1. The milk processing establishments approved in accordance with Article 10 of Directive 92/46/EEC and the holdings, which are authorised as provided for in the Annexes to this Regulation, shall be registered by the competent authority for that purpose.
2. The competent authority shall take the necessary measures to control compliance by operators of registered establishments and holdings with the requirements set out in this Regulation.
Article 5
Suspension of authorisation and registration in case of non-compliance
Any authorisation and registration issued by the competent authority in accordance with this Regulation shall be immediately suspended if the requirements of this Regulation are no longer fulfilled.
The authorisation and registration may be reinstated only after appropriate corrective measures have been taken as instructed by the competent authority.
Article 6
Review
The Commission shall review the provisions of this Regulation and adapt them as appropriate in the light of the opinion of the European Food Safety Authority.
Article 7
Entry into force
This Regulation shall enter into force on the 20th day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

COMMISSION DECISION

amending Decision 2001/556/EC as regards the inclusion of establishments in India in provisional lists of third country establishments from which Member States are authorised to import gelatine intended for human consumption
(notified under document number C(2004) 4543)
(Text with EEA relevance)
(2005/33/EC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Decision 95/408/EC of 22 June 1995 on the conditions for drawing up, for an interim period, provisional lists of third country establishments from which Member States are authorised to import certain products of animal origin, fishery products or live bivalve molluscs (1), and in particular Article 2(4) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) |

COMMISSION DECISION
of 11 January 2005
laying down harmonised standards for the testing for certain residues in products of animal origin imported from third countries
(notified under document number C(2004) 4992)
(Text with EEA relevance)
(2005/34/EC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 97/78/EC of 18 December 1997 laying down the principles governing the organisation of veterinary checks on products entering the Community from third countries (1), and in particular Articles 4(5) and 17(7) thereof,
Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 882/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 29 April 2004 on official controls performed to ensure the verification of compliance with feed and food law, animal health and animal welfare rules, and in particular Articles 11(4) and 63(1)(e) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) |
Directive 97/78/EC requires that each consignment imported from third countries shall be subject to veterinary controls. These checks may include analytical tests for residues of pharmacologically active substances in order to verify whether the consignments fulfil the requirements of Community legislation. |
(2) |
The maximum residue limits (MRL) to be applied in food control according to Council Directive 96/23/EC of 29 April 1996 on measures to monitor certain substances and residues thereof in live animals and animal products and repealing Directives 85/358/EEC and 86/469/EEC and Decisions 89/187/EEC and 91/664/EEC (2), have been established for pharmacologically active substances by Council Regulation (EEC) No 2377/90 of 26 June 1990 laying down a Community procedure for the establishment of maximum residue limits of veterinary medicinal products in foodstuffs of animal origin (3). MRLs are applicable to imported consignments. |
(3) |
However, Regulation (EEC) No 2377/90 does not provide MRLs for all substances and in particular not for those substances whose use is prohibited or not authorised in the Community. For those substances, the presence of any residue may present grounds to reject or destroy the relevant consignment at import. |
(4) |
It is appropriate that the Community should establish a harmonised approach for the control in imported consignments of residues of substances prohibited or not authorised in the Community. |
(5) |
The minimum required performance limits (MRPLs) set according to Commission Decision 2002/657/EC of 12 August 2002 implementing Council Directive 96/23/EC concerning the performance of analytical methods and the interpretation of results (4) have been adopted as the standard of performance ensuring effective control of Community legislation when testing official samples for the presence of certain prohibited or unauthorised substances; the MRPL correspond to the average limit above which the detection of a substance or its residues can be construed as methodologically meaningful. |
(6) |
Regulation (EC) No 178/2002 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 28 January 2002 laying down the general principles and requirements of food law, establishing the European Food Safety Authority and laying down procedures in matters of food safety (5), in line with the Codex alimentarius Working Principles for Risk Analysis (6), requires food law to be based on factors legitimate to the matter under consideration, such as feasibility of controls. |
(7) |
Therefore, the isolated detection of residues of a substance below the MRPLs set by Decision 2002/657/EC should be construed as not of immediate concern but to be monitored by Member States and the MRPLs should be employed where they exist, as the reference point for action to ensure a harmonised implementation of Directive 97/78/EC. |
(8) |
Where the results of analytical tests indicate the presence of residues of a substance for which MRPLs have been established in accordance with Decision 2002/657/EC, and pending the implementation of Regulation (EC) No 882/2004 on 1 January 2006, it is appropriate to clarify the action to be taken, taking into consideration the seriousness of the threat which the consignment may represent to human health, and the provisions laid down in Directives 96/23/EC and 97/78/EC and in Regulation (EC) No 178/2002. |
(9) |
Member States should in particular monitor the import situation for any evidence of a recurrent problem, since such a finding could suggest a pattern of misuse of a particular substance, or a disregard for guarantees provided by third countries concerning the production of food intended for import into the Community. Member States should notify the Commission of recurring problems. |
(10) |
The measures provided for by this Decision are in conformity with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health, |
HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:
Article 1
Scope of the Decision
1. This Decision lays down the reference points for action for residues of substances for which MRPLs have been established in accordance with Decision 2002/657/EC when analytical tests carried out pursuant to Directive 97/78/EC on imported consignments of products of animal origin confirm the presence of such residues, and the action to be undertaken after such confirmation.
2. This Decision applies whether analytical tests are carried out routinely, under reinforced checks procedures or under a safeguard measure on consignments of products of animal origin imported from third countries.
Article 2
Reference points for action
For the purpose of control of residues of certain substances whose use is prohibited or not authorised in the Community, the minimum required performance limits (MRPLs) laid down in Annex II to Decision 2002/657/EC shall be used as reference points for action irrespective of the matrix tested.
Article 3
Action in case of confirmed presence of a prohibited or non-authorised substance
1. Where results of analytical tests are at or above the MRPLs laid down in Decision 2002/657/EC, the consignment concerned shall be considered non-compliant with Community legislation.
2. Pending the application from 1 January 2006 of Articles 19 to 22 of Regulation (EC) No 882/2004, the competent authorities of the Member States shall place under official detention non-compliant consignments from third countries, and having heard the food business operators responsible for the consignment, shall take the following measures:
(a) |
order that such consignments be destroyed or re-dispatched outside the Community in accordance with paragraph 3; |
(b) |
if the consignments have already been placed on the market, recall the consignments before taking one of the measures referred to above. |
3. The competent authorities shall allow re-dispatch of consignments only if:
(a) |
the destination has been agreed with the feed or food business operator responsible for the consignment; and |
(b) |
the food business operator has first informed the competent authority of the third country of origin or third country of destination, if different, of the reasons and circumstances preventing the placing on the market of the consignments concerned within the Community; and |
(c) |
when the third country of destination is not the third country of origin, the competent authority of the third country of destination has notified the competent authority of its preparedness to accept the consignments. |
4. Without prejudice to the national rules of Member States concerning the review of administrative decisions, a re-dispatch shall take place no more than 60 days after the day on which the competent authority decided on the destination of the consignment, unless legal action has been undertaken. If, after the expiry of the 60-day period, re-dispatch does not take place, the consignment shall be destroyed, unless the competent authority is satisfied that a delay is justified.
5. Where the results of analytical tests on products are below the MRPLs laid down in Decision 2002/657/EC, the products will not be prohibited from entering the food chain. The competent authority shall retain a record of the findings in case of recurrence. Where the results of analytical tests on products from the same origin show a recurrent pattern indicating a potential problem related to one or several prohibited or unauthorised substances, including for instance the recording of four or more confirmed results below the reference points for action for the same substance in imports from a particular origin within a period of six months, the competent authority shall inform the Commission and the other Member States in the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health. The Commission shall bring the matter to the attention of the competent authority of the country or countries of origin and shall make appropriate proposals.
6. The feed or food business operator responsible for the consignment or its representative shall be liable for the costs incurred by competent authorities for the activities referred to in paragraph 1 to 4 of this Article.
Article 4
This Decision shall apply from 19 February 2005.
Article 5
This Decision is addressed to the Member States.
