(134) Products of animal origin can represent a risk for the spreading of transmissible animal diseases. Food safety requirements for products of animal origin laid down in Union legislation ensure good hygiene practices and reduce the animal health risks of such products. However, for certain types of products, specific animal health measures, such as disease control and emergency measures, should be laid down in this Regulation in order to ensure that products of animal origin do not spread animal diseases. In order to ensure safe movements of products of animal origin in these particular cases, the power to adopt acts in accordance with Article 290 TFEU should be delegated to the Commission concerning the establishment of detailed rules for movements of products of animal origin in relation to disease control measures taken, the obligations in respect of animal health certification and derogations from those rules where the risk involved with such movements and the risk-mitigation measures in place so permit.
