(2011/324/EU)

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,

Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, and in particular Article 217 thereof,

Having regard to the Partnership Agreement between the members of the African, Caribbean and Pacific Group of States, of the one part, and the European Community and its Member States, of the other part, signed in Cotonou on 23 June 2000 (1), as last amended in Ouagadougou on 23 June 2010 (2) (‘the ACP-EU Partnership Agreement’), and in particular Article 96 thereof,

Having regard to the Internal Agreement between the representatives of the governments of the Member States, meeting within the Council, on measures to be taken and procedures to be followed for the implementation of the ACP-EU Partnership Agreement (3), and in particular Article 3 thereof,

ANNEX

Brussels,

DRAFT LETTER TO THE PRESIDENT OF THE HIGH TRANSITIONAL AUTHORITY

Sir,

The European Union attaches the utmost importance to the provisions of Article 9 of the ACP-EU Partnership Agreement. As essential elements of the Partnership Agreement, respect for human rights, democratic institutions and the rule of law form the basis of our relations.

By letter of 16 June 2010, the European Union informed you of its Decision 2010/371/EU of 7 June 2010 to conclude the consultations held pursuant to Article 96 of the ACP-EU Partnership Agreement and to take ‘appropriate measures’ within the meaning of Article 96(2)(c) of that Agreement.

The European Union is aware that all the political parties have made efforts since that date to find a solution to the political crisis afflicting your country. It notes with great interest the developments in the negotiations on a roadmap mediated by the Southern African Development Community, charting a neutral, consensus-based transition process to help Madagascar find a way out of the crisis, which should result in free, credible elections that would permit a return to constitutional order. The European Union wishes to reiterate its full support for SADC mediation efforts.

The European Union takes note of the outcome of the SADC Summit on 20 May 2011. The Heads of State and Government decided to call, in the shortest possible time, a meeting of all Malagasy parties to come to an agreement on a roadmap, paving the way for free and credible elections. The European Union calls on all Malagasy parties to cooperate in good faith with these efforts.

The European Union is ready to intensify political dialogue with Madagascar and to provide political and financial support to a consensus-based transition arising from the implementation of a roadmap signed by all parties involved and approved by the SADC, the African Union and the international community. The European Union attaches prime importance to ending the lengthy political crisis which is having an increasingly serious economic and social impact on the people of Madagascar.

Decision 2010/371/EU expires on 6 June 2011, therefore the European Union has decided to extend the Decision, but will review this Decision once a roadmap has been endorsed by the SADC, the African Union and the international community.

Yours faithfully,

For the European Union

Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,

Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 22 September 2003 on additives for use in animal nutrition (1), and in particular Article 9(2) thereof,

Whereas:

| (1) | Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 provides for the authorisation of additives for use in animal nutrition and for the grounds and procedures for granting such authorisation. Article 10 of that Regulation provides for the re-evaluation of additives authorised pursuant to Council Directive 70/524/EEC (2). |

The additive was subsequently entered in the Register of Feed Additives as an existing product, in accordance with Article 10(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003.

| (3) | In accordance with Article 10(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 in conjunction with Article 7 of that Regulation, an application was submitted for the re-evaluation of robenidine hydrochloride as a feed additive for rabbits for breeding and rabbits for fattening, requesting that additive to be classified in the additive category ‘coccidiostats and histomonostats’. That application was accompanied by the particulars and documents required under Article 7(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003. |

| (4) | The European Food Safety Authority (the Authority) concluded in its opinion of 7 March 2011 that, under the proposed conditions of use, robenidine hydrochloride does not have an adverse effect on animal health, human health or the environment, and that the additive is effective in controlling coccidiosis in rabbits for fattening and for breeding (5). It also verified the report on the method of analysis of the feed additive in feed submitted by the European Union Reference Laboratory for Feed Additives set up by Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003. |

As a further consequence of this new authorisation, the entry for robenidine hydrochloride in the Annex to Regulation (EC) No 1800/2004 should be amended.
