[ [SECTION E U.K. Export of processed animal protein and products containing such protein
1. The export of processed animal protein derived from ruminants, or of processed animal protein derived from both ruminants and non-ruminants, shall be subject to compliance with the following conditions: U.K.
(a)
The processed animal protein shall be transported in sealed containers, directly from the processing plant of production to the point of exit from the Union territory, which shall be a border inspection post listed in Annex I to Commission Decision 2009/821/EC () . Before leaving the Union territory, the operator responsible for arranging the transport of the processed animal protein shall inform the competent authority at that border inspection post of the arrival of the consignment at the point of exit.
(b)
The consignment shall be accompanied by a duly completed commercial document produced according to the model set out in point 6 of Chapter III of Annex VIII to Regulation (EU) No 142/2011 and issued from the integrated computerised veterinary system (TRACES) introduced by Commission Decision 2004/292/EC () . On that commercial document, the border inspection post of exit must be indicated as exit point in box I.28.
(c)
When the consignment arrives at the point of exit, the competent authority at the border inspection post shall verify the seal of each of the containers presented at the border inspection post.
By way of derogation, based on an analysis of the risk, the competent authority at the border inspection post may decide to verify the seal of the container on a random basis.
If the seal verification is not satisfactory, the consignment must either be destroyed or must be re-dispatched to the establishment of origin.
The competent authority at the border inspection post shall inform, via TRACES, the competent authority responsible for the establishment of origin of the arrival of the consignment at the point of exit and, where applicable, of the outcome of the verification of the seal and of any corrective action taken.
(d)
The competent authority responsible for the establishment of origin shall carry out regular official controls to verify the correct implementation of points (a) and (b) and to verify that, for each consignment of processed animal protein of ruminant origin intended for export, the confirmation of the control carried out at the exit point was received from the competent authority of the border inspection post, through TRACES.
2. Without prejudice to point 1, the export of products containing processed animal protein derived from ruminants shall be prohibited. U.K.
By way of derogation, that prohibition shall not apply to processed petfood containing processed animal protein derived from ruminants which:
(a)
has been processed in approved petfood establishments in accordance with Article 24 of Regulation (EC) No 1069/2009; and
(b)
is packaged and labelled in accordance with Union legislation.
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: U.K.
(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 from the Union and are authorised for that purpose by the competent authority, or
are dedicated exclusively to the production of compound feed for export from the Union and to the production of compound feed for aquaculture animals to be placed on the market in the Union, 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 Union legislation 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 Union legislation, 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 from the Union, 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 from the Union, 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.
4. By way of derogation from point 3, the conditions laid down in that point shall not apply to: U.K.
(a)
petfood which contains processed animal protein derived from non-ruminants and which has been processed in petfood establishments approved in accordance with Article 24 of Regulation (EC) No 1069/2009 and which is packaged and labelled in accordance with Union legislation;
(b)
fishmeal, provided that it is produced in accordance with this Annex;
(c)
processed animal protein derived from farmed insects, provided that it is produced in accordance with this Annex;
(d)
compound feed containing no other processed animal protein than fishmeal and processed animal protein derived from farmed insects, provided that it is produced in accordance with this Annex;
(e)
processed animal protein derived from non-ruminants destined for the manufacturing of petfood or of organic fertilisers and soil improvers in the third country of destination, provided that, before export, the exporter ensures that each consignment of processed animal protein is analysed in accordance with the method of analysis set out in point 2.2 of Annex VI to Regulation (EC) No 152/2009 in order to verify the absence of constituents of ruminant origin.] ]
