(OJ No L 300, 14.11.2009, p 1) (“the EU Control Regulation”).

These Regulations also enforce, in England, Commission Regulation No 142/2011 implementing Regulation (EC) No. 1069/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council laying down health rules as regards animal by-products and derived products not intended for human consumption and implementing Council Directive 97/78/EC as regards certain samples and items exempt from veterinary checks at the border under that Directive Implementing Regulation) (OJ No L 54, 26.02.2011) (the EU Implementing Regulation).

In addition, there are requirements for operators, plants and establishments to be registered or approved. The obligations vary according to the categorisation of the material, the higher risk animal by-product is categorised as Category 1 material, next in risk is Category 2 and then Category 3 material. The EU Implementing Regulation supplements the requirements of the EU Control Regulation.

These Regulations provide for the following.
