COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 749/2005

of 18 May 2005

amending Regulation (EEC) No 2131/93 fixing the procedure and conditions for the taking over of cereals by intervention agencies

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1784/2003 of 29 September 2003 on the common organisation of the market in cereals (1), and in particular Article 6 thereof,

Whereas:

(1)	Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2131/93 (2) lays down the procedure and conditions for the sale of cereals held by intervention agencies.

(2)

In Member States which do not have sea ports, tenderers for cereals put up for sale are penalized by higher transport costs. As a result of these additional costs, cereals are more difficult to export from those Member States, which results in particular in longer intervention storage and additional costs to the Community budget. Article 7 of Regulation (EEC) No 2131/93 therefore provides for the possibility, in certain cases, of financing the lowest transport costs between the place of storage and the place of exit, in order to make the tenders comparable.

(3)	The Croation ports of Rijeka and Split were traditional ports of exit for the countries of central Europe before their accession to the Union. Rijeka and Split should therefore be included among the places of exit that can be considered when calculating the refundable transport costs for exports.

(4)

In order to simplify and harmonise the procedures for the placing on sale of cereals for export, the procedure for releasing the guarantees referred to in Article 17 of Regulation (EEC) No 2131/93 should be clarified, based on Commission Regulation (EC) No 800/1999 laying down common detailed rules for the application of the system of export refunds on agricultural products (3), especially as regards the proof that the import customs formalities have been completed in a third country.

(5)	Regulation (EEC) No 2131/93 should therefore be amended accordingly.

(6)	The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Cereals,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1

In Article 7 of Regulation (EC) No 2131/93, paragraph 2a is replaced by the following:

‘2a Where Member States have no sea port, a decision may be taken, in accordance with the procedure referred to in paragraph 1, to derogate from paragraph 2 and, in the case of exports from a sea port, to finance the lowest transport costs between the place of storage and the actual place of exit, within the financial limits laid down in the tender notice.

For the purpose of this paragraph the Romanian port of Constanţa and the Croatian ports of Rijeka and Split may be regarded as places of exit.’

Article 2

In Article 17 of Regulation (EC) No 2131/93, paragraph 3 is replaced by the following:

‘3. The security provided for in the second indent of paragraph 2 shall be released where it covers quantities in respect of which:

—	proof has been furnished that the goods have become unfit for human or animal consumption,

—

proof has been furnished that the customs formalities for exports outside the customs territory of the Community and for imports into one of the third countries covered by the tender have been completed. Proof of export outside the customs territory of the Commmunity and of import into a third country shall respectively be those provided in accordance with the detailed rules laid down in Articles 7 and 16(1), (2) and (3) of Regulation (EC) No 800/1999.

—	the licence has not been issued in accordance with Article 49 of Regulation (EC) No 1291/2000,

—	the contract has been cancelled in accordance with the fourth paragraph of Article 16.’

Article 3

This Regulation shall enter into force on the 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 REGULATION (EC) No 750/2005

of 18 May 2005

on the nomenclature of countries and territories for the external trade statistics of the Community and statistics of trade between Member States

(Text with EEA relevance)

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1172/95 of 22 May 1995 relating to the trading of goods by the Community and its Member States with non-member countries (1), and in particular Article 9 thereof,

Whereas:

(1)	Commission Regulation (EC) No 2081/2003 of 27 November 2003 on the nomenclature of countries and territories for the external trade statistics of the Community and statistics of trade between Member States (2) set out the version valid on 1 January 2004.

(2)	The alphabetical coding of countries and territories is based on the ISO alpha standard 2 in force as far as it is compatible with the requirements of Community legislation.

(3)

It is necessary to identify separately Serbia, Montenegro and Kosovo (as defined by United Nations Security Council Resolution 1244 of 10 June 1999) for the management of agreements concluded between the European Community and some of those territories on trade in textile products. As well, the conditions laid down in the relevant Community provisions regarding the declaration of the origin of the goods in trade with non-members countries require the creation of a specific code for determining the Community origin of goods.

(4)	It is therefore appropriate to draw up a new version of this nomenclature that takes into account those new items as well as changes affecting some codes.

(5)

It is preferable to provide for a transition period to allow certain Member States to adapt to the amendments made to the Community legislation regarding the end of the use of numerical codes; it is essential for purposes of simplification for this transition period to end when the provisions revising the rules on the Single Administrative Document come into force.

(6)	The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee on Statistics relating to the Trading of Goods with Non-Member Countries,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1

The version valid from 1 June 2005 of the nomenclature of countries and territories for the external trade statistics of the Community and statistics of trade between Member States is set out in the Annex hereto.

Article 2

This Regulation shall enter into force on 1 June 2005.

However, the Member States may use the three-digit numeric codes also shown in the Annex to the Regulation until the provisions revising Annexes 37 and 38 of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93 come into force (3).

This Regulation shall be binding in its entirely and directly applicable in all Member States.

Done at Brussels, 18 May 2005.

COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 754/2005

of 18 May 2005

fixing the export refunds on eggs applicable from 19 May 2005

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2771/75 of 29 October 1975 on the common organisation of the market in eggs (1), and in particular the third subparagraph of Article 8(3) thereof,

Whereas:

(1)	Article 8 of Regulation (EEC) No 2771/75 provides that the difference between prices on the world market for the products listed in Article 1(1) of that regulation and prices for those products on the Community market may be covered by an export refund.

(2)

It follows from applying these rules and criteria to the present situation on the market in eggs that the refund should be fixed at an amount which would permit Community participation in world trade and would also take account of the nature of these exports and their importance at the present time.

(3)	The present market situation in certain third countries and that regarding competition makes it necessary to fix a refund differentiated by destination for certain products in the egg sector.

(4)

Article 21 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 800/1999 of 15 April 1999 laying down detailed rules for the application of the system of export refunds on agricultural products (2), stipulates that no refund is granted if the products are not of sound and fair marketable quality on the date on which the export declaration is accepted. In order to ensure uniform application of the rules in force, it should be stated that, in order to qualify for the refund, the egg products listed in Article 1 of Regulation (EEC) No 2771/75 must bear the health mark laid down in Council Directive 89/437/EEC of 20 June 1989 on hygiene and health problems affecting the production and the placing on the market of egg products (3).

(5)	The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Poultrymeat and Eggs,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1

The codes of products for which, when they are exported, the export refund referred to in Article 8 of Regulation (EEC) No 2771/75 is granted and the amount of that refund shall be as shown in the Annex hereto.

However, in order to qualify for the refund, products falling within the scope of Chapter XI of the Annex to Directive 89/437/EEC must also satisfy the health marking conditions laid down in that Directive.

of 4 May 2005

establishing a questionnaire for reporting on the application of Directive 2003/87/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council establishing a scheme for greenhouse gas emission allowance trading within the Community and amending Council Directive 96/61/EC

(notified under document number C(2005) 1359)

(Text with EEA relevance)

(2005/381/EC)

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,

Having regard to Directive 2003/87/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 13 October 2003 establishing a scheme for greenhouse gas emission allowance trading within the Community and amending Council Directive 96/61/EC (1), and in particular Article 21(1) thereof,

Whereas:

(1)

The questionnaire to be used by the Member States for the purpose of drawing up the annual reports on the implementation of Directive 2003/87/EC should aim at establishing a detailed account of the application by the Member States of the chief measures laid down in that Directive as well as of the following measures, to the extent that they are closely linked to the implementation of Directive 2003/87/EC: Council Directive 96/61/EC of 24 September 1996 concerning integrated pollution prevention and control (2), Commission Decision 2004/156/EC of 29 January 2004 establishing guidelines for the monitoring and reporting of greenhouse gas emissions pursuant to Directive 2003/87/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council (3), and Commission Regulation (EC) No 2216/2004 of 21 December 2004 for a standardised and secured system of registries pursuant to Directive 2003/87/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council and Decision No 280/2004/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council (4). It should be appropriate to review the questionnaire at regular intervals.

(2)

The first report is due by 30 June 2005. However, it is desirable to have one annual report covering the first whole year of operation of the scheme. The first report should therefore cover the period from 1 January 2005 to 30 April 2005, and the second report, due by 30 June 2006, should cover the period from 1 January 2005 to 31 December 2005. Subsequent reports should be submitted to the Commission by 30 June each year and should cover the preceding calendar year from 1 January to 31 December.

(3)

The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee established in accordance with Article 6 of Council Directive 91/692/EEC of 23 December 1991 standardising and rationalising reports in the implementation of certain Directives relating to the environment (5),

HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:

Article 1

Member States shall use the questionnaire set out in the Annex for the purpose of drawing up the annual report to be submitted to the Commission pursuant to Article 21(1) of Directive 2003/87/EC.

COMMISSION DECISION

of 18 May 2005

authorising methods for grading pig carcases in Hungary

(notified under document number C(2005) 1448)

(Only the Hungarian text is authentic)

(2005/382/EC)

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 3220/84 of 13 November 1984 determining the Community scale for grading pig carcases (1), and in particular Article 5(2) thereof,

Whereas:

(1)

Article 2(3) of Regulation (EEC) No 3220/84 provides that the grading of pig carcases must be determined by estimating the content of lean meat in accordance with statistically proven assessment methods based on the physical measurement of one or more anatomical parts of the pig carcase. The authorisation of grading methods is subject to compliance with a maximum tolerance for statistical error in assessment. This tolerance was defined in Article 3 of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2967/85 of 24 October 1985 laying down detailed rules for the application of the Community scale for grading pig carcases (2).

(2)

The Government of Hungary has requested the Commission to authorise four methods for grading pig carcases and has submitted the results of its dissection trials which were executed before the day of accession, by presenting part two of the protocol provided for in Article 3 of Regulation (EEC) No 2967/85.

(3)	The evaluation of this request has revealed that the conditions for authorising these grading methods are fulfilled.

(4)	Article 2 of Regulation (EEC) No 3220/84 lays down that Member States may be authorised to provide for a presentation of pig carcases different from the standard presentation defined in the same Article where commercial practice or technical requirements warrant such a derogation.

(5)	In Hungary the traditions in carcase presentation and, consequently, commercial practice, necessitate that carcases can be presented with flare fat and diaphragm. This should be taken into account in adjusting the weight recorded to the weight for standard presentation.

(6)	No modification of the apparata or grading methods may be authorised except by means of a new Commission Decision adopted in the light of experience gained. For this reason, the present authorisation may be revoked.

(7)	The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Pigmeat,

HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:

Article 1

The use of the following methods is hereby authorised for grading pig carcases pursuant to Regulation (EEC) No 3220/84 in Hungary:

(a)	the apparatus termed Fat-O-Meater FOM S70 and Fat-O-Meater FOM S71 and the assessment methods related thereto, details of which are given in Part 1 of the Annex;

(b)	the apparatus termed Uni-Fat-O-Meater FOM S89 (UNIFOM) and the assessment methods related thereto, details of which are given in Part 2 of the Annex;

(c)	the apparatus termed Ultra FOM 200 and the assessment methods related thereto, details of which are given in Part 3 of the Annex;

(d)	the apparatus termed Fully automatic ultrasonic carcase grading (AUTOFOM) and the assessment methods related thereto, details of which are given in Part 4 of the Annex.

As regards the apparatus ‘Ultra FOM 200’, referred to in point (c) of the first paragraph, it is laid down that after the end of the measurement procedure it must be possible to verify on the carcase that the apparatus measured the values of measurement SZ1 and SZ2 on the site provided for in Part 3(3) of the Annex. The corresponding marking of the measurement site must be made at the same time as the measurement procedure.

Article 2

Notwithstanding the standard presentation referred to in Article 2(1) of Regulation (EEC) No 3220/84, the flare fat and the diaphragm need not be removed from pig carcases before being weighed and graded. In order to establish quotations for pig carcases on a comparable basis, the recorded hot weight shall be reduced:

(a)	for diaphragm by 0,35 %

(b)	for flare fat by 1,68 %.

Article 3

Modifications of the apparata or the assessment methods shall not be authorised.

Article 4

This Decision is addressed to the Republic of Hungary.

ANNEX

Methods for grading pig carcases in Hungary

Part I

FAT-O-MEATER FOM S70 AND FAT-O-MEATER FOM S71

1.	Grading of pig carcases shall be carried out by means of the apparatus termed as Fat-O-Meater FOM S70 and Fat-O-Meater FOM S71.

The apparatus shall be equipped with a probe of 6 millimetres (mm) diameter containing an optical sonde of the Fremstillet AF Radiometer Copenhagen/Slagteriernes Forskningsinstitut Optisk Sonde MQ type and having an operating distance of between 5 and 105 mm. The results of the measurements are converted into estimated lean meat content by means of a computer type S70 and S71 respectively.

The lean meat content of the carcase shall be calculated according to the following formula:

= 54,043661 – 0,170496 × SZ1 – 0,568425 × SZ2 + 0,215384 × H2 + 0,048995 × W

where:

	=	the estimated lean meat content (in percentage)
SZ1	=	back fat thickness measured in millimetres at measuring point P1 (at 8 cm off the midline of the carcase between the third and fourth lumbar vertebrae)
SZ2	=	back fat thickness measured in millimetres at measuring point P2 (at 6 cm off the midline of the carcase between the third and fourth last ribs)
H2	=	muscle thickness measured in millimetres at measuring point P2 (at 6 cm off the midline of the carcase between the third and fourth last ribs)
W	=	warm weight of the carcase (kg).

This formula shall be valid for carcases weighing between 50 and 120 kg.

Part 2

UNI-FAT-O-MEATER FOM S89 (UNIFOM)

1.	Grading of pig carcases shall be carried out by means of the apparatus termed Uni-Fat-O-Meater FOM S89 (UNIFOM).

2.	The apparatus is the same as the apparatus described under point 2 of Part 1. However, Unifom differs from FOM with regard to computer and software for the interpretation of the reflection profile from the optical probe. Furthermore, Unifom is not connected with the weighing instrument.

The lean meat content of the carcase shall be calculated according to the following formula:

= 53,527 – 0,127 × SZ1 – 0,563 ×SZ2 + 0,283 × H2

where:

	=	estimated lean meat content (in percentage)
SZ1	=	back fat thickness measured in millimetres at measuring point P1 (at 8 cm off the midline of the carcase between the third and fourth lumbar vertebrae)
SZ2	=	back fat thickness measured in millimetres at measuring point P2 (at 6 cm off the midline of the carcase between the third and fourth last ribs)

This formula shall be valid for carcases weighing between 50 and 120 kilograms.

Part 3

ULTRA FOM 200

1.	Grading of pig carcases shall be carried out by means of the apparatus termed ‘Ultra FOM 200’.

The apparatus shall be equipped with an ultrasonic probe at 4 MHz (Krautkrämer MB 4 SE). The ultrasonic signal is digitised, stored and processed by a micro-processor (type Intel 80 C 32). The results of the measurements shall be converted into estimated lean meat content by means of the Ultra-FOM apparatus itself.

The lean meat content of the carcase shall be calculated according to the following formula:

= 59,989 – 0,265 × SZ1 – 0,402 × SZ2 + 0,007625 × H2 + 0,08837 × W

where:

RECOMMENDATION OF THE EFTA SURVEILLANCE AUTHORITY

No 65/04/COL

of 31 March 2004

concerning a coordinated programme for the official control of feedingstuffs for 2004

THE EFTA SURVEILLANCE AUTHORITY,

Having regard to the Agreement on the European Economic Area, and in particular Article 109 and Protocol 1 thereof,

Having regard to the Agreement between the EFTA States on the establishment of a Surveillance Authority and a Court of Justice, and in particular Article 5(2)(b) and Protocol 1 thereof,

Having regard to the Act referred to at point 31a of Chapter II of Annex I to the EEA Agreement (Council Directive 95/53/EC of 25 October 1995 fixing the principles governing the organisation of official inspections in the field of animal nutrition (1)), as amended, and as adapted to the EEA Agreement by Protocol 1 thereto, and in particular Article 22(3) thereof,

Whereas:

(1)	It is necessary, with a view to the sound operation of the European Economic Area, to arrange for coordinated feed inspection programmes within the EEA designed to improve the harmonised implementation of the official controls by the EEA States.

(2)	Such programmes should place emphasis on complicance with the relevant legislation in force under the EEA Agreement, and the protection of public and animal health.

(3)	The results from simultaneous implementation of national programmes and coordinated programmes may provide information and experience on which to base future control activities and legislation.

(4)

Although the Act referred to at point 33 of Chapter II of Annex I to the EEA Agreement (Directive 2002/32/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 7 May 2002 on undesirable substances in animal feed (2)) establishes maximum contents of aflatoxin B1 in feedingstuffs, there is no legislation in force under the EEA Agreement for other mycotoxins, such as ochratoxin A, zearalenone, deoxynivalenol and fumonisins. Gathering information on the presence of those mycotoxins through random sampling could provide useful data for an assessment of the situation with a view to the development of the legislation. Furthermore, certain feed materials such as cereals and oil seeds are particularly exposed to mycotoxin contamination because of harvesting, storage and transport conditions. As mycotoxin concentration varies from year to year, it is appropriate to collect data from consecutive years for all mycotoxins mentioned.

(5)	Previous checks for the presence of antibiotics and coccidiostats in certain feedingstuffs where those substances are not authorised indicate that this type of infringement still occurs. The frequency of such findings and the sensitivity of this matter justify the continuation of checks.

(6)	The participation of Norway and Iceland in the programmes within the scope of Annex II of this Recommendation concerning substances not authorised as feed additives will have to be evaluated with respect to their exemptions from Chapter II of Annex I to the EEA Agreement.

(7)	It is important to ensure that the restrictions on the use of feed materials of animal origin in feedingstuffs, as laid down in the relevant EEA legislation, are effectively enforced.

(8)

The case of contamination of the feed and food chain with medroxyprogesterone acetate (MPA) highlighted the value of the selection of supplies in the safety of feedingstuffs. Some ingredients in feedingstuffs are by-products of agri-food industries, or of other industries, or of mineral extraction. The source of feed materials of industrial origin and the processing methods applied to them may be of particular significance in the safety of the products. Therefore the competent authorities should consider this aspect when carrying out their checks.

(9)	The measures provided for in this Recommendation are in accordance with the opinion of the EFTA Plants and Animal Feedingstuffs Committee assisting the EFTA Surveillance Authority,

HEREBY RECOMMENDS TO THE EFTA STATES:

During 2004, to carry out a coordinated inspection programme aimed to check:

(a)

the concentration of mycotoxins (aflatoxin B1, ochratoxin A, zearalenone, deoxynivalenol and fumonisins) in feedingstuffs, indicating the methods of analysis; the method of sampling should comprise both random and targeted sampling; in the case of targeted sampling, the samples should be feed materials suspected of containing higher concentrations of mycotoxins, such as cereal grains, oil seeds, oil fruits, their products and by-products, and feed materials stored for a long time or transported by sea over a long distance; the results of the checks should be reported using the model set out in Annex I;

(b)

certain medicinal substances, whether or not authorised as feed additives for certain animal species and categories, in non-medicated pre-mixtures and compound feedingstuffs in which these medicinal substances are not authorised; the checks should target those medicinal substances in pre-mixtures and compound feedingstuffs if the competent authority considers that there is a greater probability of finding irregularities; the results should be reported using the model set out in Annex II;

(c)	the implementation of restrictions on the production and use of feed materials of animal origin, as set out in Annex III;

(d)	the procedures applied by manufacturers of compound feedingstuffs in order to select and assess their supplies of feed materials of industrial origin and to ensure the quality and safety of such ingredients, as set out in Annex IV.

To include the results of the coordinated inspection programme provided for in paragraph 1 in a separate Chapter in the annual report on inspection activities to be transmitted to the EFTA Surveillance Authority by 1 April 2005 in accordance with Article 22(2) of Directive 95/53/EC and the latest version of the harmonised reporting model.

(2) Reason leading to the presence of the unauthorised substance in the feedingstuff, as concluded after an investigation carried out by the competent authority.

ANNEX III

Restrictions on the production and use of feed materials of animal origin

Without prejudice to Articles 3 to 13 and 15 of Directive 95/53/EC, the EFTA States should during 2004 undertake a coordinated inspection programme to determine whether restrictions on the production and use of feed materials of animal origin have been complied with.

In particular, in order to ensure that the ban on feeding processed animal protein to certain animals, as laid down in the Annex IV of the Act referred to at point 7, 1, 12 of Chapter I of Annex I to the EEA Agreement (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 encephalopathies (1)), are effectively applied, EFTA States should implement a specific control programme based on targeted controls. In accordance with Article 4 of Directive 95/53/EC, that control programme should be based on a risk-based strategy where all stages of production and all types of premises where feed is produced, handled and administered are included. EFTA States should pay special attention to the definition of criteria that can be related to a risk. The weighting given to each criterion should be proportional to the risk. The inspection frequency and the number of samples analysed in the premises should be in correlation to the sum of weightings allocated to those premises.

The following indicative premises and criteria should be considered when drawing up a control programme:

Premises

Criteria

Weighting

Feed mills

—	Double-stream feed mills producing ruminant compound feed and non-ruminant compound feed containing derogated processed animal proteins

—	Feed mills with previous history, or suspicion, of non-compliance

—	Feed mills with a large amount of imported feedingstuffs with high protein content such as fishmeal, soybean meal, corn gluten meal and protein concentrates

—	Feed mills with a high production of compound feed

—	Risk of cross-contamination resulting from internal operational procedures (dedication of silos, control of the effective separation of lines, control of ingredients, internal laboratory, sampling procedures, etc.)

Border Inspection Posts and other points of entry into the EEA

—	Large/small amount of imports of feedingstuffs

—	Feedingstuffs with high protein content

Farms

—	Home mixers using derogated processed animal proteins

—	Farms keeping ruminants and other species (risk of cross feeding)

—	Farms purchasing feedingstuffs in bulk

Dealers

—	Warehouses and intermediate storage of feedingstuffs with high protein content

—	High volume of bulk feedingstuffs traded

—	Dealers in compound feedingstuffs produced abroad

Mobile mixers

—	Mixers producing for both ruminants and non-ruminants

—	Mixers with previous history, or suspicion, of non-compliance

—	Mixers incorporating feedingstuffs with high protein content

—	Mixers with high production of feedingstuffs

—	Large number of farms served including farms which keep ruminants

Means of transportation

—	Vehicles used for the transportation of processed animal proteins and feedingstuffs

—	Vehicles with previous history, or suspicion, of non-compliance

As an alternative to these indicative premises and criteria, EFTA States may forward their own risk assessment to the EFTA Surveillance Authority before 30 April 2004.

Sampling should be targeted on batches or events where cross-contamination with prohibited processed proteins is most likely (first batch after the transport of feedingstuffs containing animal protein prohibited in this batch, technical problems or changes in production lines, changes in storage bunkers or silos for bulk material).

The minimum number of inspections per year in an EFTA State should be 10 per 100 000 tonnes of compound feed produced. The minimum number of official samples per year in an EFTA State should be 20 per 100 000 tonnes of compound feed produced. Pending the approval of alternative methods, microscopic identification and estimation as described in Commission Directive 98/88/EC of 13 November 1998 establishing guidelines for the microscopic identification and estimation of constituents of animal origin for the official control of feedingstuffs (2) should be used for analysing samples. Any presence of prohibited constituents of animal origin in feedingstuffs should be considered as a breach of the feed ban.

The results of the inspection programmes should be communicated to the EFTA Surveillance Authority using the following formats:

Summary of checks concerning feeding restrictions for feed of animal origin (feeding of prohibited processed animal proteins)

A. Documented inspections

(1) OJ L 147, 31.5.2001, p. 1.

(2) OJ L 318, 27.11.1998, p. 45.

ANNEX IV

Procedures for selection and assessment of supplies of feed materials of industrial origin

The competent authorities should identify and shortly describe the procedures followed by manufacturers of compound feedingstuffs in order to select and assess supplies of feed materials of industrial origin. Some procedures may be related to the prior establishment of characteristics or requirements for the products to be supplied, or for the suppliers. Other procedures may be related to own-checks for the verification of compliance with certain parameters, carried out by manufacturers of compound feedingstuffs at the reception of supplies.

For each identified procedure (procedure for selection and assessment of supplies), the competent authorities should indicate the advantages and disadvantages of the application of the procedure in terms of feed safety. Finally they should assess whether, taking into account the potential risks, each procedure is acceptable, insufficient or unacceptable for ensuring the safety of feedingstuffs, stating the reasons leading to that conclusion.
