Health requirements for animal by-products

PURPOSE : to present a proposal which amends Council Directives 90/425/EEC and 92/118/EEC as regards health requirements for animal by-products. CONTENT : the animal and public health conditions for the processing and disposal of animal waste and for the production, placing on the market, trade and importation of products of animal origin not intended for human consumption are laid down in a number of different Council Directives and Decisions and Commission Decisions. The rules contained in those Directives and Decisions have been replaced by Regulation.../... of the European Parliament and of the Council laying down the health rules concerning animal by-products not intended for human consumption. Directives 90/425/EEC and 92/118/EEC must therefore be amended accordingly. This is the scope of this Directive.�
