Definition: A disorder characterized by impairment of memory, learning difficulties, and reduced ability to concentrate on a task for more than brief periods. There is often a marked feeling of mental fatigue when mental tasks are attempted, and new learning is found to be subjectively difficult even when objectively successful. None of these symptoms is so severe that a diagnosis of either dementia (F00-F03) or delirium (F05.-) can be made. This diagnosis should be made only in association with a specified physical disorder, and should not be made in the presence of any of the mental or behavioural disorders classified to F10-F99. The d ...[+++]isorder may precede, accompany, or follow a wide variety of infections and physical disorders, both cerebral and systemic, but direct evidence of cerebral involvement is not necessarily present. It can be differentiated from postencephalitic syndrome (F07.1) and postconcussional syndrome (F07.2) by its different etiology, more restricted range of generally milder symptoms, and usually shorter duration.

Definition: A syndrome of prominent impairment of recent and remote memory while immediate recall is preserved, with reduced ability to learn new material and disorientation in time. Confabulation may be a marked feature, but perception and other cognitive functions, including the intellect, are usually intact. The prognosis depends on the course of the underlying lesion. | Korsakov's psychosis or syndrome, nonalcoholic

Where no appropriate conventional counterpart can be identified, a comparative safety assessment cannot be made and consequently a safety and nutritional assessment of the genetically modified food or feed shall be carried out as for novel foods falling within the scope of Regulation (EC) No 258/97 of the European Parliament and of the Council that do not have conventional counterparts (such as where the genetically modified food or feed is not closely related to a food or feed with a history of safe use or where a specific trait or specific traits are introduced with the intention of bringing complex changes in the composition of the ge ...[+++]netically modified food or feed).

2. The Commission may, by means of implementing acts, lay down rules on uniform practical arrangements on official controls performed on certain categories of food or feed to verify compliance with the rules referred to in points (a) to (e) of Article 1(2) to address newly identified risks which may arise through food or feed to human or animal health or, in relation to GMOs and plant protection products, also to the environment, or any such risks emerging from new patterns of production or consumption of food or feed, and which cannot be effectively addressed in the absence of such common rules regarding uniform minimum frequency of suc ...[+++]h official controls, where a minimum level of official control is necessary to respond to the specific hazards and risks which exist in relation to each category of food and feed and the different processes it undergoes. Those implementing acts shall be adopted in accordance with the examination procedure referred to in Article 145(2).

42. Acknowledges, in view of the tight situation on the global market for animal feed, that European farmers have an urgent need of high quality, safe protein feed - in addition to fishmeal - at an affordable cost; at the same time, stresses the importance of the consistent application of the precautionary principle with respect to the reintroduction of animal protein into feed - other than for ruminants - and thus into the food chain, in line with the rationale behind the new animal health strategy that 'prevention is better than cure'; points out therefore the need for greater efforts to introduce effective control and monitoring mec ...[+++]hanisms on the elimination of all pathogens during manufacture, to ensure traceability and to avoid the contamination and mixing of types of animal meal in imported feed or feed produced in the Member States;

In addition to those basic rules, more specific feed and food law covers different areas such as animal nutrition including medicated feedingstuffs, feed and food hygiene, zoonoses, animal by-products, residues and contaminants, control and eradication of animal diseases with a public health impact, feed and food labelling, pesticides, feed and food additives, vitamins, mineral salts, trace elements and other additives, materials in contact with food, quality and compositional requirements, drinking water, ionisation, novel foods and genetically modified organisms (GMOs).
