1-methoxy -4-methylbenzene, trimethyloxazole and 4,5 -dihydrothiophen -3(2H) -one were 
authorised without a time limit in accordance with Directive 70/524/EEC as a feed

No 1831/2003 in conjunction wi th Article 7 thereof, several applications were submitted for 
the re -evaluation of those additives for all animal species. The applicant requested the 
additives to be authorised for use also in water for drinking. However, Regulation (EC)  
No 1831/2003 does  not allow the authorisation of flavouring compounds for use in water 
for drinking. Therefore, the use of these additives in water for drinking should not be 
allowed. The applicant requested the additives to be classified in the additive category 
'sensory additives' and in the functional group 'flavouring compounds'. Those applications 
were accompanied by the particulars and documents required under Article 7(3) of 
Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003.  G/SPS/N/EU/585
