ANNEX

Commission's Declarations on the subject of:

1.   Revision of Annex IV:

In order to adapt Annex IV (on the tolerances for the compositional labelling of feed materials and compound feed) as provided for in Article 11 of the Regulation to scientific and technical development, the Commission and its services envisage to take up the examination of the above mentioned Annex IV. In this context the Commission will also consider certain feed materials with moister content greater than 50%.

2.   Labelling of additives:

The Commission will study whether the principles of information through labelling of feed could also apply to the additives and premixtures authorised under Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 on additives for use in animal nutrition.

3.   Interpretation of ‘any urgencies related to human and animal health and the environment’ as addressed by Recital 21, Article 5 and Article 17

‘The Commission understands that “any urgencies related to human and animal health and the environment” may include urgencies generated amongst others by negligence, intentional fraud and criminal acts.’
