Traduction de «Develop prepared animal feed » (Anglais → Français) :

‘feed materials’ means products of vegetable or animal origin, whose principal purpose is to meet animals’ nutritional needs, in their natural state, fresh or preserved, and products derived from the industrial processing thereof, and organic or inorganic substances, whether or not containing feed additives, which are intended for use in oral animal-feeding either directly as such, or after processing, or in the preparation of compound feed, or as carrier of premixtures;

- Impact of animal feed, on human health: The objective is to improve understanding of the role of animal feed, including products containing genetically modified organisms and the use of sub-products of different origins for that feed, in food safety, to reduce the use of undesirable raw materials and to develop alternative new animal feed sources.

Traditional livestock farming activities should be supported in order to meet local consumption needs. To that end, derogations are needed from some of the provisions of the common market organisations which restrict production, to take account of the development and particular conditions of local production, which are quite different from those in the rest of the Community. This objective may also be pursued indirectly by financing genetic improvement programmes involving the purchase of pure-bred breeding animals, b ...[+++]y purchasing commercial breeds more suited to local conditions, by supplementing the suckler cow premium and the slaughter premium, and by granting aid to develop cow's milk production and, where necessary, by making it possible to import from third countries male bovine animals for fattening, and to derogate from the application of the conditions governing imports of animals and animal feed provided for by Council Directive 72/462/EEC of 12 December 1972 on health and veterinary inspection problems upon importation of bovine animals and swine and fresh meat from third countries( ).

I might also mention Europe’s duty to comply with international provisions and to support the development of the production of vegetable proteins to replace meat and bone meal in animal feed.

For that reason, subjects such as animal feed really ought to be dealt with under the direction of the Committee on Agriculture and Rural Development.
