It includes multiple annexes (I-IX) and appendices (1-7, 10, 11). Annex I references the "Dpartement fdral de lintrieur" (Federal Department of Home Affairs), with mentions of *ante mortem* procedures and bacterial agents such as *Listeria monocytogenes*, *Staphylococcus aureus*, and *Escherichia coli* (E. coli). Annex II and subsequent annexes repeatedly use the phrase "mutatis mutandis," suggesting modifications or adaptations to previously defined terms or procedures. Annex II also mentions *Marteilia refringens* and *Bonamia ostreae*. The document further alludes to the protection of animals.
