This site was set up in 2008, to help people find Government consultations more easily, and to show that it could be done: quickly and easily. The site has never been funded as such, and has relied on volunteers for maintenance and support. It hasn't had much maintenance recently and this shows: some consultations can't be found and some functions don't work as they should. We are currently seeking funding for a new version of TellThemWhatYouThink.
In the meantime, you can search a limited number of departments for open consultations at the Directgov Consultation Finder.
Methods and procedures for the sampling and analysis of animal feedingstuffs are laid down in a number of Commission directives which date back almost forty years and which have been amended and extended on numerous occasions. These directives have now been replaced by a measure which brings their provisions together in a single, comprehensive document – Commission Regulation (EC) No 152/2009 of 27 January 2009 laying down the methods of sampling and analysis for the official control of feed, which is directly applicable in all EU member states.
It is also necessary to transpose into national law the provisions of Commission Directive 2009/141/EC of 23 November 2009 amending certain entries in annexe 1 of Directive 2002/32 on undesirable substances. This annexe has been transposed into national law as Schedule 5 to the Feeding Stuffs (England) Regulations 2005 (as amended), which lays down statutory upper limits for a range of contaminants from various sources.
Here are the documents we were able to locate that relate to this consultation:
