amending Regulation (EC) No 600/2005 as regards the introduction of a maximum residue limit for the feed additive ‘Salinomax 120G’, belonging to the group of coccidiostats and other medicinal substances

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
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 13(3) thereof,
Whereas:
(1)
The additive salinomycin sodium (Salinomax 120G) was authorised under certain conditions in accordance with Council Directive 70/524/EEC (2). Commission Regulation (EC) No 600/2005 (3) authorised that additive for 10 years for use for chickens for fattening, linking the authorisation to the person responsible for putting that additive into circulation. That additive was entered into the Community Register of Feed Additives.
(2)
Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 provides for the possibility of modifying the authorisation of an additive further to a request from the holder of the authorisation and an opinion of the European Food Safety Authority (the Authority). The holder of the authorisation of the additive salinomycin sodium (Salinomax 120G) has submitted an application which proposes changing the conditions of the authorisation by introducing a maximum residue limit (MRL) as evaluated by the Authority.
(3)
In its opinion adopted on 26 January 2005 (4), the Authority proposed to establish an MRL for the active substance concerned. It may be necessary to review that MRL in the light of the results of a future evaluation of that active substance by the European Agency for the Evaluation of Medicinal Products.

Article 1
The Annex to Regulation (EC) No 600/2005 is replaced by the text in the Annex to this Regulation.

COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 590/2006
of 12 April 2006
amending Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 998/2003 of the European Parliament and of the Council as regards the list of countries and territories
(Text with EEA relevance)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 998/2003 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 26 May 2003 on the animal health requirements applicable to the non-commercial movement of pet animals and amending Council Directive 92/65/EEC (1), and in particular Articles 10 and 21 thereof,
Whereas:
(1)
Regulation (EC) No 998/2003 lays down a list of third countries and territories from which movement of pet animals to the Community may be authorised, provided that certain requirements are met.
(2)
A provisional list of third countries was established by Regulation (EC) No 998/2003, as amended by Commission Regulation (EC) No 592/2004 (2).
(3)
That provisional list, which has already been amended several times, includes third countries and territories which are free of rabies and third countries and territories in respect of which the risk of rabies entering the Community as a result of movements from those third countries and territories has been found to be no higher than the risk associated with movements between Member States.
(4)
From information supplied by Bosnia and Herzegovina and Bulgaria, it appears that the risk of rabies entering the Community as a result of movements of pet animals from these countries has been found to be no higher than the risk associated with movements between Member States or from third countries already listed in Regulation (EC) No 998/2003. Therefore those third countries should be included in the provisional list of third countries and territories set out in part C of Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 998/2003.
(5)
In the interest of clarity the list of countries and territories set out in Regulation (EC) No 998/2003 should be replaced in its entirety.
(6)
Regulation (EC) No 998/2003 should therefore be amended accordingly.
(7)
The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 998/2003 is replaced by the text in the Annex to this Regulation.
