8Those decisions were in turn replaced by Commission Decision 94/474/EC of 27 July 1994 concerning certain protection measures relating to bovine spongiform encephalopathy and repealing Decisions 89/469/EEC and 90/200/EEC (OJ 1994 L 194, p. 96), which reproduced their contents with some amendments. The new decision increased from two to six years the period during which, for the purposes of allowing exports of bone-in meat to other Member States of the Community, it was necessary for no case of BSE to have been confirmed on the holding on which the animals in question had been raised. It prohibited the exportation from the United Kingdom of any materials or products derived from ruminants not treated in accordance with the means permitted under Commission Decision 94/382/EC of 27 June 1994 on the approval of alternative heat treatment systems for processing animal waste of ruminant origin, with a view to the inactivation of spongiform encephalopathy agents (OJ 1994 L 172, p. 5), which entered into force on 1 January 1995.
