slaughter.

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

target feed listed in the Schedule 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

an i m al s an d t o th e en v i r o nm en t in t er m s o f th e p r o vi s io n s

established in the Schedule. 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

c o n s u m e r s a n d t o t h e e n v ir o n m en t, an d th e a p p l i c at i o n o f

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 the Undesirable

Substances in Animal Feed Rules shall apply without prejudice to

the primary obligation of economic operators to apply good

m a nu f a ctu r i n g p r ac tic es wi th th e aim o f p r e v en ti n g cr o s s-

contamination, and thus the competent 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

IN NON-TARGET FEED

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), and thus the competent authority shall consider a

car ry-ov er rate of appr oximately 3% wh en co mpared 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

l e v e l s to wh i ch a n i m al s a r e ex p o s e d w h e r e o n l y c o m p l e te

feedingstuffs are used in a daily portion.

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

substances contained in authorised coccidiostats and

histomonostats shall be considered by the competent authority as

undesirable substances in animal feed in terms of the Undesirable

Substances in Animal Feed Rules, 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), maximum levels for these

substances in animal feed shall be established in terms of the

Schedule 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, 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 shall be

continuously adapted to the conditions of use provided for in the

IN NON-TARGET FEED

au t ho r i sat io n s o f co cc id io s tat s an d h is to m o n o sta ts as f ee d

additives.

(2) When a period of time occurs between the authorisation

it self an d , o r an y mo d if icati on , an d , o r su sp en sio n an d , 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, 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 anim al 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

n ot b eing in co nf or m ity with these r ul es , an d s hall 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 and 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), shall be given to the competent 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.
