Whereas:
(1) Directive 70/524/EEC provides that new additives and new uses of additives may be authorised following the review of an application made in accordance with Article 4 of the Directive.
(2) Article 9e(1) of the Directive provides that provisional authorisation of a new additive or new use of an additive may be given if the conditions of Article 3a(b) to (e) are satisfied and if it is reasonable to assume, in view of the available results, that when used in animal nutrition it has one of the effects referred to in Article 2(a). Such provisional authorisation may be given for a period up to four years in the case of additives referred to in Part II of Annex C to the Directive.
(3) The assessment of the dossier submitted in respect of the preservative preparation described in the Annex to this Regulation shows that it satisfies all the conditions set by Article 3a of Directive 70/524/EEC and may therefore be authorised on a provisional basis for a four-year period.
(4) The assessment of the dossier shows that certain procedures may be required to protect workers from exposure to the additives.
