Explanation, written by a model and checked against the cited text

Section 2.1 is restructured into new subpoints 2.1.1, 2.1.2 and 2.1.3, adding separate labelling requirements for compound feed and for mixtures of fodder plant seeds that were not present before, while the closure requirement now refers to alteration, including substitution, of the content rather than substitution alone.

Point (b) of the former list, describing the name of the product or a description of the compound feedstuff with a reference to organic production, is replaced by a simpler requirement stating only the name of the product, with compound feed labelling moved to the new point 2.1.2.

Section 5's heading changes from referring to reception of products from other operators of units to reception of products from other operators or units, and the reference to the information in points (a) to (d) being presentable on an accompanying document is changed to cover the information in points 2.1.1 and 2.1.2 and to say it may be presented solely on that document.
