“maximum residue limits” means such limits which

cannot be exceeded and as established by the Community

regarding the maximum residue of veterinary medical

“withdrawal feed” means feed used for the period before

slaughter.

(1) These rules shall apply to such maximum levels in

non-target feed listed in the Schedule hereto to prevent unavoidable

carry-over of undesirable substances which occur during the

process of production or manufacture from one product to another,

in order to ensure conformity with the requirements of these rules

in the business of animal feeding stuffs during the production

process and thus to enforce a proper functioning of the internal

market and to safeguard public health and animal health.

(2) The competent Authority shall establish and

apply all such necessary administrative measures according to the

requirements of these rules to ensure that there is no breach of

these rules and also to reduce the risk for final consumers and any

additional risk to animals and to the environment in terms of the

provisions established in the Schedule to these rules. The measures

established in these rules shall conform with and be in accordance

with the requirements of the food chain and animal health.

(3) These measures shall include the direct

confiscation of the product, the suspension of the activities carried

out by the authorised provider when these are creating a risk to

final consumers and to the environment, and the application of

administrative fines.

The authorisations for coccidiostats and histomonostats

as feed additives shall establish all such specific conditions for

use, such as the target animal species or categories for which the

additives are intended.

(1) The operators concerned shall take all appropriate

measures with regard to facilities and equipment, production,

storage and transport, to prevent any cross-contamination, and this

in accordance with the obligations established by the European

Community Regulation which establishes requirements for feed

hygene and also specific requirements for feed businesses which

use coccidiostats and histomonostats in the production of feed.

(2) The establishment of maximum levels by the

competent Authority of unavoidable carry-over of coccidiostats

and histomonostats in non-target feed according to Undesirable

Substances in Animal Feed Rules, 2009 shall apply without

prejudice to the primary obligation of economic operators to

apply good manufacturing practices with the aim of preventing

cross-contamination, and thus the Authority shall ensure that the

requirement of a continuous effort by the operators concerned

shall continue to apply to prevent the presence of such undesirable

substances in animal feed.

(1) The competent Authority shall establish together

with the carrying out of good manufacturing practices, the

maximum levels of unavoidable carry-over of coccidiostats and

histomonostats in non-target feed according to the principal ‘As

Low As Reasonably Achievable’.

(2) The feed manufacturer shall be provided with

any possible aid to be able to manage the unavoidable carry-

over mentioned in sub-rule (1) hereof, and thus the competent

authority shall consider a carry-over rate of approximately 3 %

when compared to the maximum authorised content of substances

regarding non-target feed for animal species which are less

sensitive, while a carry-over rate of approximately 1 % shall be

retained when compared to the maximum authorised content of

substances for non-target feed made for animal species which are

sensitive and for “withdrawal feed”, when the latter is to be given

to animals to be used for human consumption or for the use of final

consumers.

(3) The carry-over rate of 1 % shall also be taken

into consideration for the cross-contamination of other target

feed for species to which no coccidiostats or histomonostats have

been added, and with regard to non-target feed, for continuous

producing animals, such as dairy cows and laying hens, where

there is evidence of unavoidable carry-over of contamination from

feed to food of animal origin.

(4) If feed materials are fed directly to animals or if

complementary feeding-stuffs has been used, such use in a daily

portion shall not lead to the animal being exposed to a higher

level of coccidiostat or histomonostat than the corresponding

maxium levels to which animals are exposed where only complete

feedingstuffs are used in a daily portion.

(1) The unavoidable carry-over in non-target feed Unavoidable carry-

of active substances contained in authorised coccidiostats and over

histomonostats shall be considered by the competent Authority as

undesirable substances in animal feed in terms of the Undesirable

Substances in Animal Feed Rules, 2009 and their presence shall

not, in any manner whatsoever endanger animal health, human

health or the environment.

(2) For the purpose of sub-rule (1) hereof, maximum

levels for these substances in animal feed shall be established in

terms of the Schedule to these rules in order to prevent harmful and

undesirable effects.

When the competent Authority adopts such mamimum

limits of coccidiostats or histomonostats in non-target feeds

established in the Schedule to these rules, the same competent

Authority shall ensue that there is conformity with such provisions

which establish the procedure for such maximum residue limits of

veterinary medical products in feed products of animal origin.

(1) The maximum levels listed in Schedule 1 to

these rules shall be continuously adapted to the conditions

of use provided for in the authorisations of coccidiostats and

histomonostats as feed additives.

(2) When a period of time occurs between the

authorisation itself and, or any modification, and, or suspension

and, or revocation of such authorisation of coccidiostats or

histomonostats as feed additive and the subsequent adjustment to

the maximum levels as established in the Schedule to these rules,

such adjustment shall be considered as being without prejudice

to the levels of coccidiostats or histomonostats authorised as feed

additives under any other law or regulations.

When there exists the authorised presence of

coccidiostats and histomonostats as feed additives in non-target

feed on levels which result from unavoidable carry-over or cross-

contamination and all such necessary precautionary measures have

been taken according to these rules, it shall be very unlikely that

such presence results in adverse animal health effects and thus

the risk to consumers’ health from the ingestion of residues in

products from animals exposed to cross-contaminated feed shall

be considered as not being in conformity with these rules, and shall

also be considered as negligible.

(1) Any person who fails to abide by these rules shall

be guilty of an offence in terms of these rules in terms of the Act

and the provisions of rule 3(2) and (3) shall apply to it.

(2) Any right given to the competent Authority under

these rules to apply all such necessary measures prescribed in sub-

rule (1) hereof, shall be given to the Authority without prejudice

to other criminal procedures which may be taken under any other

law when a person commits an offence by failing to abide by these

rules.
