Language of the case: Dutch
1.Article 5(1) of Directive 2008/98/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 19 November 2008 on waste and repealing certain Directives and Article 3, point 1, of Regulation No 1069/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 21 October 2009 laying down health rules as regards animal by-products and derived products not intended for human consumption and repealing Regulation (EC) No 1774/2002 (Animal by-products Regulation) must be interpreted as meaning that a material which cannot be classified as a ‘by-product’ within the meaning of the former provision may nevertheless be regarded as an ‘animal by-product’ within the meaning of the latter provision.
2.Article 1(3)(d) of Regulation (EC) No 1013/2006 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 14 June 2006 on shipments of waste, as amended by Commission Regulation (EU) No 135/2012 of 16 February 2012, must be interpreted as meaning that shipments of animal by-products falling within Regulation No 1069/2009 are excluded from the scope of Regulation No 1013/2006, as amended by Regulation No 135/2012, except in cases where Regulation No 1069/2009 expressly provides for the application of Regulation No 1013/2006, as amended by Regulation No 135/2012.
3.Article 1(3)(d) of Regulation No 1013/2006, as amended by Regulation No 135/2012, must be interpreted as meaning that that provision applies to the shipment of a mixture of Category 3 animal by-products, within the meaning of Article 10 of Regulation No 1069/2009, and other material, classified as non-hazardous waste, within the meaning of Regulation No 1013/2006, as amended by Regulation No 135/2012. The proportion of animal by-products in the mixture is not relevant in that regard.
