It also provides for the determination of an end point in the manufacturing chain for certain derived products beyond which they are no longer subject to the requirements of that Regulation. (2)  Commission Regulation (EU) No 142/2011 of 25 February 2011 implementing Regulation (EC) No 1069/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council laying down health rules as regards animal by- products and derived products not intended for human consumption and implementing Council Directive 97/78EC as regards certain samples and items exempt from veterinary checks at the border under that Directive (%), lays down implementing rules for Regu- lation (EC) No 1069/2009, including rules on the deter- mination of end points for certain derived products. (3)  Denmark has submitted a request for the determination of an end point for fish oil which is used for the () O] L 300, 14.11.2009, p. 1. () O] L 54, 26.2.2011, p. 1. production of medicinal products. Since such fish oil is derived from Category 3 material and is processed under strict conditions, an end point for that oil should be determined. Article 3 of Regulation (EU) No 142/2011 and Annex XIII thereto should therefore be amended accordingly. (4)  Regulation (EU) No 142/2011 carried on provisions introduced to implement Regulation (EC) No 1774/2002 and Commission Decision 2003/324/EC (}) in particular allowing Estonia, Latvia and Finland the feeding of certain fur animals with processed animal protein derived from the bodies or parts of bodies of animals of the same species, in particular foxes. Annex II should be amended to allow feeding of such material to both commonly kept species, the Red fox (Vulpes vulpes), currently listed, and the Arctic fox (Alopex lagopus), as Decision 2003/324/EC has been repealed by Regulation (EU) No 142/2011. (5)  Regulation (EC) No 1069/2009 lays down certain rules for pressure sterilisation and provides for implementing measures to be adopted for other processing methods, which have to be applied to animal by-products or derived products, so that no unacceptable risks to public and animal health arise when such products are used or disposed of. Accordingly, Annex IV to Regulation (EU) No 142/2011 sets out standard processing methods for processing plants and certain other plants and estab- lishments. (6)  Regulation (EC) No 1069/2009 allows for the disposal or use of animal by-products or derived products by way of alternative methods, provided that such methods have been authorised on the basis of an assessment of the capacity of those methods to reduce risks to public and animal health to a degree which is at least equivalent, for the relevant category of animal by-products, to the standard  processing  methods.  Regulation  (EC) No 1069/2009 also provides for a standard format for applications for alternative methods to be adopted. Accordingly, Annex IV to Regulation (EU) No 142/2011 sets out alternative processing methods for processing plants and certain other plants and establishments. () OJ L 117, 13.5.2003, p. 37.
