However, the vertebral column may be removed at points of sale to the consumer situated in the territory of the Member State concerned.
Where specified risk material is not removed from dead animals which have not been slaughtered for human consumption, the parts of the body containing specified risk material or the entire body will be treated as specified risk material.
3.All specified risk material must be stained with a dye and, as appropriate, marked with a marker immediately on removal, and completely destroyed:U.K.
(a)
by incineration without pre-processing; or,

(ii)
in accordance with at least the standards referred to in Annex I to Decision 1999/534/EC(), by burial in an approved landfill site.
4.Member States may derogate from the provisions of points 2 and 3 to allow the incineration or burial of specified risk material or entire bodies, without prior staining, or, as appropriate, removal of the specified risk materials, in the circumstances set out in Article 3(2) of Directive 90/667/EEC and by a method which precludes all risk of transmission of a TSE and is authorised and supervised by the competent authority, in particular where animals have died or have been killed in the context of disease control measures and without prejudice to Articles 12 and 13.U.K.
5.The use of an alternative test to the removal of specified risk material may be authorised under the following conditions:U.K.

tests must be carried out in slaughterhouses on all animals eligible for the removal of specified risk material;

(c)
specified risk material, in particular where disposal takes place at establishments or premises other than slaughterhouses, is completely separated from other waste not destined for incineration, is collected separately and is disposed of in accordance with points 2, 3 and 4. Member States may allow dispatch of heads or carcasses containing specified risk material to another Member State after agreement with that other Member State both to receive the material and to apply the specific conditions applicable to such movements.
