The appropriate representatives of the European feed business sectors have, in consultation with other parties concerned, in collaboration with the competent national authorities and taking into account relevant experience from opinions issued by the European Food Safety Authority and scientific or technological developments, developed amendments to Regulation (EU) No 575/2011.

These amendments concern new entries of treatment processes and feed materials and improvements of existing entries, in particular for oil and fat derivatives.

Furthermore, the amendments concern maximum contents of chemical impurities resulting from their manufacturing process or from processing aids to be set according to point 1 of Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 767/2009. Specific rules should apply to former foodstuff e.g. production surplus, misshapen products or food with expired use-by date that had been produced in compliance with EU food law.

The conditions set out in Article 26 of Regulation (EC) No 767/2009 are fulfilled.

Given the very high number of amendments to be made to Regulation (EU) No 575/2011, it is appropriate, for reasons of coherence, clarity and simplification, to repeal and replace that Regulation.

It is appropriate to reduce the administrative burden on the operators by providing a period of time allowing a smooth conversion of labelling to avoid unnecessary disruption to commercial practices.

The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
