THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1099/2009 of 24 September 2009 on the protection of animals at the time of killing(1), and in particular Article 4(2) and point (b) of the first subparagraph of Article 14(3) thereof,
After consulting the Standing Committee on Plants, Animals, Food and Feed,
Whereas:
(1) Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 1099/2009 sets out the list of approved stunning methods, related specifications and the specific requirements for certain methods.
(2) Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 1099/2009 sets out the requirements regarding the layout, construction and equipment of slaughterhouses.
(3) Following a request from a private business operator the Commission requested the European Food Safety Authority (‘EFSA’) to provide an opinion on low atmospheric pressure system (‘the method’) for the stunning of broiler chickens (chickens kept for meat production).
(4) In its opinion(2) of 25 October 2017, EFSA established that:
the method can be considered to be at least equivalent, in terms of animal welfare outcomes, to at least one of the currently available stunning methods,
the method is only valid under certain conditions and in particular: the technical specifications (as the rate of decompression, the duration of each phase and the total exposure time), the animal characteristics (broiler chickens) and certain ambient conditions (as temperature and humidity),
the assessment is limited only to broiler chickens for slaughter weighing up to 4 kg and its use cannot be extended to other category of birds;
(5) In order to allow the competent authorities to perform regular checks on compliance with that method, specific requirements for that method should be laid down.
(6) The method is considered, in addition to commercial slaughter, to be suitable for killing chickens in case of depopulation.
(7) The method is also suitable in other cases where killing of high number of chickens is necessary for other reasons than public health, animal health, animal welfare or environmental reasons.
(8) Considering that the method is equivalent, in terms of animal welfare outcomes, to at least one of the existing approved methods, it is therefore necessary to amend Annex I of Regulation (EC) No 1099/2009.
(9) To enable the effective operation and monitoring of the method certain specific requirements regarding its layout, construction and equipment should be respected. It is therefore necessary to amend also Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 1099/2009.
(10) Annexes I and II to Regulation (EC) No 1099/2009 should therefore be amended accordingly.
(11) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Plants, Animals, Food and Feed,
