THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 70/373/EEC of 20 July 1970 on the introduction of Community methods of sampling and analysis for the official control of feedingstuffs (1), as last amended by the Act of Accession of Greece, and in particular Article 2 thereof,
Whereas the Annex to the First Commission Directive 71/250/EEC of 15 June 1971 establishing Community methods of analysis for the official control of feedingstuffs (2) sets out the general rules for applying the methods of analysis described in that Directive and in Commission Directives 71/393/EEC (3), 72/199/EEC (4), 73/46/EEC (5), 74/203/EEC (6), 75/84/EEC (7), 76/372/EEC (8) and 78/633/EEC (9) establishing Community methods of analysis for the official control of feedingstuffs ; whereas, however, some of the abovementioned Directives provide that those general rules are not to apply to the methods of analysis relating to additives in feedingstuffs;
