# 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, Division 3: The export of processed animal protein derived from non-ruminants, or compound feed containing such protein, shall be subject to compliance with the following conditions:

Extent: E+W+S+N.I.

(a) The processed animal protein derived from non-ruminants shall be produced in processing plants which fulfil the requirements of point (c) of Section D of Chapter IV.
(b) The compound feed containing processed animal protein derived from non-ruminants shall be produced in compound feed establishments which:
(i) produce in accordance with point (d) of Section D of Chapter IV; or
(ii) source the processed animal protein used in compound feed destined for export in processing plants that comply with point (a) and, either:
are dedicated exclusively to the production of compound feed for export ... and are authorised for that purpose by the competent authority, or
are dedicated exclusively to the production of compound feed for export ... and to the production of compound feed for aquaculture animals to be placed on the market ..., and authorised for that purpose by the competent authority.
(c) The compound feed containing processed animal protein derived from non-ruminants shall be packaged and labelled in accordance with assimilated law or with the legal requirements of the importing country. Where the compound feed containing processed animal protein derived from non-ruminants is not labelled in accordance with assimilated law, the following words shall be indicated on the labelling: ‘ contains non-ruminant processed animal protein ’ .
(d) Bulk processed animal protein derived from non-ruminants and bulk compound feed containing such protein, and intended for export ..., shall be transported in vehicles and containers and stored in storage facilities which are not used, respectively, for the transport or storage of feed for placing on market and intended for feeding to ruminants or non-ruminant farmed animals other than aquaculture animals. Records detailing the type of products that were transported or stored shall be kept available to the competent authority for a period of at least two years.
By way of derogation from the first paragraph, vehicles, containers and storage facilities which have been previously used for the transport or storage of bulk processed animal protein derived from non-ruminants and bulk compound feed containing such protein, and intended for export ..., may be subsequently used for the transport or storage of feed for placing on the market and intended for feeding to ruminants or non-ruminant farmed animals other than aquaculture animals, provided that they are cleaned beforehand in order to avoid cross-contamination, in accordance with a documented procedure which has been given prior authorisation by the competent authority. Whenever such a procedure is used, a documented record of such use shall be kept available to the competent authority for a period of at least two years.
Storage plants storing bulk processed animal protein derived from non-ruminants and bulk compound feed containing such protein under the conditions set out in the second paragraph of point (d) shall be authorised by the competent authority based on verification of their compliance with the requirements listed in that paragraph.
