EU looks set to lift the ban on use of PAPs in pig and poultry feed EU industry experts believe a proposal that would allow the feeding of processed animal proteins (PAP) from poultry to pigs and pig PAPs to poultry again has a good chance of gaining approval this week, under a EU Commission committee voting procedure, prior to validation in the EU parliament. The vote is made in writing rather than at committee. National government experts were scheduled to have received their ballot paper yesterday, and all countries have to cast their vote by Friday evening, April 9, 2021. In the meeting of the Standing Committee on Plants, Animals, Food and Feed (SCoPAFF) in December last year, the EU Commission presented a draft Commission Regulation amending Annex IV to Regulation (EC) No 999/2001 - also known as the BSE regulation - that would reauthorize the feeding of PAP from poultry to pigs and pig PAPs to poultry.
