EU Rules
EU Rules
Regulation (EC) 1069/2009 and Commission Regulation (EU) 142/2011 replaced the old one (Regulation (EC) 1774/2002) consolidating several related acts into one. "Consolidated" means that the basic EU legislation, its amendments and corrections figure in a single document. As an informal document, the Commission assumes no responsibility for its content.
The current legislation allows for:
- Clear requirements based on ABPs' technical standards
- Enforcement measures for the new risk-proportionate approach
- End point in the manufacturing chain for processed and packaged pet food, biodiesel, tanned hides and skins and other products
- Less red tape for producers of medicines and diagnostics from ABPs
- Smoother official controls of laboratories of processing and biogas plants handling ABPs
- Better traceability from food production
- Risk-proportionate solutions for transport, processing, use and imports
