HYGIENE – Council discussions: Transport of liquid oils and fats by sea

The following is an extract from the minutes of the General Affairs Council meeting on the 9th April 2019:

The Council decided not to oppose the adoption of a Commission regulation amending the Annex to regulation 579/2014 granting derogation from certain provisions of Annex II to regulation 852/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council as regards the transport of liquid oils and fats by sea. (6924/19 + ADD 1)

Commission regulation 579/2014 derogates from Annex II to regulation 852/2004 as regards the transport in seagoing vessels of liquid oils and fats intended for or likely to be used for human consumption under certain conditions. Those conditions relate to the shipping equipment and practices, as well as to criteria as regards substances to be transported in a seagoing vessel as previous cargo. Substances that fulfil those criteria are listed in the Annex to regulation 579/2014 (list of acceptable previous cargoes).
