Section 1 U.K. Collection, transport and traceability

Article 21 U.K. Collection and identification as regards category and transport

1. Operators shall collect, identify and transport animal by-products without undue delay under conditions which prevent risks arising to public and animal health.

2. Operators shall ensure that animal by-products and derived products are accompanied during transport by a commercial document or, when required by this Regulation or by a measure adopted in accordance with paragraph 6, by a health certificate.

By way of derogation from the first subparagraph, the competent authority may authorise the transport of manure between two points located on the same farm or between farms and users of manure within [F1 Great Britain] without a commercial document or health certificate.

3. Commercial documents and health certificates accompanying animal by-products or derived products during transport shall at least include information on the origin, the destination and the quantity of such products, and a description of the animal by-products or derived products and their marking, when such marking is required by this Regulation.

However, for animal by-products and derived products transported within the territory of a [F2 constituent nation], the competent authority of the [F2 constituent nation] concerned may authorise transmission of the information referred to in the first subparagraph by way of an alternative system.

[F3 4. Operators must collect, transport and dispose of Category 3 catering waste so as to ensure that waste management is carried out without endangering human health, without harming the environment and, in particular:

(a) without risk to water, air, soil, plants or animals;

(b) without causing a nuisance through noise or odours; and

(c) without adversely affecting the countryside or places of special interest.]

5. [F4 The appropriate authority may make available or publish, in such manner as appears to the appropriate authority to be appropriate, from time to time]:

(a) models for commercial documents which are required to accompany animal by-products during transport; and

(b) models for health certificates [F5 which are required to] accompany animal by-products and derived products during transport.

[F6 5A. The appropriate authority may, by regulations, lay down conditions governing the way in which model health certificates must accompany animal by-products and derived products during transport.]

6. [F7 The appropriate authority may, by regulations, lay down measures for the implementation of this Article relating to the following matters]:

(a) cases where a health certificate is required, having regard to the level of risk to public and animal health arising from certain derived products;

(b) cases where, by way of derogation from the first subparagraph of paragraph 2 and having regard to the low level of risk to public and animal health arising from certain animal by-products or derived products, transport of derived products may take place without the documents or certificates referred to in that paragraph;

(c) requirements for the identification, including labelling, and for the separation of different categories of animal by-products during transport; and

(d) conditions to prevent risks to public and animal health arising during the collection and transport of animal by-products, including conditions for the safe transport of those products with respect to containers, vehicles and packaging material.
