Commission Directive 94/39/EC of 25 July 1994 establishing a list of intended uses of animal feedingstuffs for particular nutritional purposes (2) has been substantially amended several times (3). In the interests of clarity and rationality the said Directive should be codified.

That list must indicate the precise use, that is to say, the particular nutritional purpose, the essential nutritional characteristics, the labelling declarations and where appropriate the special labelling requirements.
(3)
Certain nutritional purposes cannot be included at present in the list of intended uses due to the absence of Community methods of control for the energy value in pet foods and for dietary fibre in feedingstuffs. This list must be completed as soon as these methods have been adopted.
(4)
The established list may be modified, where appropriate, following developments in scientific and technical knowledge.
(5)
The measures provided for in this Directive are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health.

Article 1
Member States shall require that feedingstuffs intended for particular nutritional purposes within the meaning of Directive 93/74/EEC shall be marketed only if their intended uses are included in Part B of Annex I to this Directive and if they fulfil the other provisions laid down in that Part of Annex I.
Furthermore, the Member States shall ensure that the provisions under ‘General provisions’ of Part A of Annex I are complied with.
Article 2
Directive 94/39/EC, as amended by the Directives listed in Annex II, Part A, is repealed, without prejudice to the obligations of the Member States relating to the time-limits for transposition into national law of the Directives set out in Annex II, Part B.
