COMMISSION DECISION of 9 September 1991 establishing a list of
ingredients whose use is prohibited in compound feedingstuffs
(91/516/EEC) 

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic
Community,

Having regard to Council Directive 79/373/EEC of 2 April 1979 on the
marketing of compound feedingstuffs (1), as last amended by Directive
90/654/EEC (2), and in particular Article 10 (c) thereof,

Whereas Directive 79/373/EEC applies without prejudice to, inter alia,
Council Directive 82/471/EEC of 30 June 1982 concerning certain products
used in animal nutrition (3), as last amended by Directive 90/654/EEC;
whereas this latter Directive provides that such products which fulfil
its requirements may be marketed as feedingstuffs or incorporated in
feedingstuffs;

Whereas Council Directive 74/63/EEC of 17 December 1973 concerning
undesirable substances and products in animal nutrition (4), as last
amended by Directive 91/126/EEC (5), is concerned only with those
substances and products whose presence it is impossible to exclude
totally from feedingstuffs and its constituents; whereas this Directive
applies without prejudice to other Community provisions on
feedingstuffs;

Whereas Member States were, until now, able to require that compound
feedingstuffs marketed on their territories be free of certain
ingredients;

Whereas it is necessary to remove the barriers to intra-Community trade
resulting from such restrictions by adopting, at Community level, a list
of ingredients whose use as such should be prohibited;

Whereas the use in feedingstuffs of protein products obtained from
Candida yeasts cultivated on n-alkanes has already been prohibited by
Commission Decision 85/382/EEC (6);

Whereas veterinary legislation regulates the eradication and control of
certain animal diseases within the Community; in particular Council
Directive 90/667/EEC (7), veterinary rules for the disposal and
processing of animal waste, for its placing on the market and for the
prevention of pathogens in feedingstuffs of animal origin; whereas
Member States are still authorized to take, on a provisional basis,
certain eradication measures at national level;

Whereas Directive 79/373/EEC provides that a list of ingredients whose
use is prohibited for animal and public health reasons shall be
established in the light of advances in scientific and technical
knowledge;

Whereas this list reflects the situation at the moment of its
establishment and remains open to later amendments and additions;

Whereas the measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance
with the opinion of the Standing Committee for Feedingstuffs,

HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION: 

Article 1 

The use of the ingredients listed in the Annex is prohibited in compound
feedingstuffs. 

Article 2 

This Decision applies without prejudice to the provisions on
micro-organisms in feedingstuffs, to the national measures referred to
in Article 1 (2) of Council Directive 90/667/EEC, and to Articles 16 and
20 of that Directive. 

Article 3 

This Decision shall apply from 22 January 1992. 

Article 4 

This Decision is addressed to the Member States. 

Done at Brussels, 9 September 1991.
