COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 2430/1999

of 16 November 1999

linking the authorisation of certain additives belonging to the group of coccidiostats and other medicinal substances in feedingstuffs to persons responsible for putting them into circulation

(Text with EEA relevance)

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,

Having regard to Council Directive 70/524/EEC of 23 November 1970 concerning additives in feedingstuffs(1), as last amended by Commission Regulation (EC) No 1636/1999(2), and in particular Article 9h(3)(b) and Article 9i(3)(b) thereof,

Whereas:

(1) because of the risk for human and animal health posed by the circulation in the Community of poor copies of zootechnical additives, Directive 70/524/EEC, as amended by Council Directive 96/51/EC(3), provides for the linking of the authorisation of certain classes of additives to the person responsible for putting them into circulation;

(2) in particular Article 9h of Directive 70/524/EEC provides for the replacement of the provisional authorisations of additives included in Annex I after 31 December 1987 and belonging to the group of coccidiostats and other medicinal substances and transferred to Chapter II of Annex B by authorisations linked to the person responsible for putting them into circulation for a period of 10 years;

(3) in particular Article 9i of Directive 70/524/EEC provides for the replacement of the provisional authorisations of additives included in Annex II before 1 April 1998 and belonging to the group of coccidiostats and other medicinal substances and transferred to Chapter III of Annex B by provisional authorisations linked to the person responsible for putting them into circulation;

(4) the additives listed in the Annexes to this Regulation were the subject of new applications for authorisation by the person responsible for the dossier on the basis of which the former authorisations were given or by their successors. The applications relating to those additives were accompanied by the required monographs and identification notes;

(5) the linking of the authorisation to a person responsible for putting the additive into circulation is based on a purely administrative procedure and did not entail a fresh assessment of the additives. Although the authorisations are given for a specified period they may be withdrawn at any time in accordance with Article 9m and Article 11 of Directive 70/524/EEC. In particular, authorisations of additives may be withdrawn as a result of the re-evaluation carried out under Article 9g of Directive 70/524/EEC;

(6) the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee for Feedingstuffs,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1
