Recital 8 a (new)
(8a) Regulation (EC) No 1923/2006 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 18 December 2006 amending Regulation (EC) No 999/2001 laying down rules for the prevention, control and eradication of certain transmissible spongiform encephalopathies makes it legally possible, subject to certain conditions, to again permit the use of meat and bone meal in feed intended for non-ruminants. It is expressly stated that the relaxation of the existing ban on meat and bone meal is conditional on the availability of tests which can distinguish animal proteins from different animal species. The European Commission is therefore doing everything possible to make validated species-specific tests available as quickly as possible so that meat and bone meal can be used as a valuable source of protein in animal feed for non-ruminants, while excluding cannibalism.

Recital 2
(2) Animal by-products arise mainly during the slaughter of animals for human consumption, during the production of food of animal origin such as dairy products, and in the course of the disposal of dead animals and of disease control measures. Regardless of their source, they pose a potential risk to animal and public health and the environment. This risk needs to be adequately controlled, either by channelling such products towards safe means of disposal or by using them for different purposes, provided that strict conditions are applied which minimise the health risks involved.

(8b) The use of catering waste in animal feed has in the past repeatedly led to outbreaks of infectious animal diseases. In addition, if the use of catering waste in feed is permitted, it cannot be guaranteed that material from animals of a particular species will not be fed to animals of the same species.
