Referring court

Parties to the main proceedings

Applicant: Landkreis Jerichower Land

Defendant: A.

Operative part of the judgment

Article 24(1)(i) of Regulation (EC) 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 the concept of ‘storage’ to which it refers includes the interruption of a transport operation, lasting from a few hours to eight hours, during which transport containers containing Category 3 animal by-products are transferred from one transport vehicle to another, before being transported to a processing plant, without those animal by-products being treated or transferred to other transport containers during that interruption.
