European Union - New catalogue of feed materials

Commission Regulation (EU) No 242/2010 of 19 March 2010 creating the Catalogue of feed materials established the first version of the Catalogue of feed materials. It consists of the list of feed materials already listed in Part B of the Annex to Directive 96/25/EC and columns 2, 3 and 4 of the Annex to Directive 82/471/EEC and of a glossary taking over point IV of Part A of the Annex to Directive 96/25/EC.

The appropriate representatives of the European feed business sectors have, in consultation with other concerned parties, in collaboration with the competent national authorities and taking into account relevant experience from opinions issued by the European Food Safety Authority and scientific or technological developments, developed amendments to Regulation (EU) No 242/2010. These amendments concern new entries and improvements of existing entries.

The Commission has assessed the submitted amendments, verified that the procedure and conditions foreseen in Article 26 of Regulation (EC) No 767/2009 has been followed and are fulfilled and agrees to the amendments as modified during the assessment.

Given the very high number of amendments to be made to Regulation (EU) No 242/2010, it is appropriate, for reasons of coherence, clarity and simplification, to repeal and replace that Regulation.
