That Regulation also provides that no derogation may be granted in respect of animals suspected of being infected with a transmissible spongiform encephalopathy (TSE) or in which the presence of a TSE has been officially confirmed.\n(2)\nCommission Regulation (EC) No 811/2003 of 12 May 2003 implementing Regulation (EC) No 1774/2002 of the European Parliament and of the Council as regards the intra-species recycling ban for fish, the burial and burning of animal by-products and certain transitional measures lays down implementing rules for the disposal of animal by-products by on-site burning or burial.\n(3)\nCommission Decision 2004/467/EC of 29 April 2004 laying down transitional measures to be applied by Cyprus and Estonia as regards on-site burning or burial of animal by-products under Regulation (EC) No 1774/2002 of the European Parliament and of the Council provides for a derogation to these rules applicable until 1 January 2005.\n(4)\nCyprus has informed the Commission that it will not have operational collection systems in place for animal by-products on 1 January 2005.
