on the Catalogue of feed materials

(Text with EEA relevance)

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,

Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 767/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 13 July 2009 on the placing on the market and use of feed, amending European Parliament and Council Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 and repealing Council Directive 79/373/EEC, Commission Directive 80/511/EEC, Council Directives 82/471/EEC, 83/228/EEC, 93/74/EEC, 93/113/EC and 96/25/EC and Commission Decision 2004/217/ECf1, and in particular Article 26(2) and (3) thereof,

Whereas:

(1)

Commission Regulation (EU) No 575/2011 of 16 June 2011 on the Catalogue of feed materialsf2 (the Catalogue) replaced the first version of the Catalogue of feed materials set out in Commission Regulation (EU) No 242/2010 of 19 March 2010 creating the Catalogue of feed materialsf3.

(2)

The appropriate representatives of the European feed business sectors have, in consultation with other parties concerned, in collaboration with the competent national authorities and taking into account relevant experience from opinions issued by the European Food Safety Authority and scientific or technological developments, developed amendments to Regulation (EU) No 575/2011.

(3)

These amendments concern new entries of treatment processes and feed materials and improvements of existing entries, in particular for oil and fat derivatives.

(4)

Furthermore, the amendments concern maximum contents of chemical impurities resulting from their manufacturing process or from processing aids to be set according to point 1 of Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 767/2009. Specific rules should apply to former foodstuff e.g. production surplus, misshapen products or food with expired use-by date that had been produced in compliance with EU food law.

(5)

The conditions set out in Article 26 of Regulation (EC) No 767/2009 are fulfilled.

(6)

Given the very high number of amendments to be made to Regulation (EU) No 575/2011, it is appropriate, for reasons of coherence, clarity and simplification, to repeal and replace that Regulation.

(7)

It is appropriate to reduce the administrative burden on the operators by providing a period of time allowing a smooth conversion of labelling to avoid unnecessary disruption to commercial practices.

(8)

The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,

Maximum contents may also be set in the Catalogue for chemical impurities and processing aids present at levels lower than 0,1 % if deemed suitable for good trading practices.

Article 16(1)(b) of that Regulation in conjunction with its Annex V lays down labelling requirements as regards other analytical constituents. In addition, point 5 of Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 767/2009 requires the declaration of the level of ash insoluble in hydrochloric acid if it exceeds 2,2 % in general or for certain feed material if it exceeds the level set in the relevant section of Annex V to that Regulation.
