(4)The same rules concerning the quality and safety of productsintendedforanimalfeedhavetoapplytothequalityandsafetyof water consumed by the animals. Although the definition offeedingstuffs does not preclude water being considered asfeedingstuff, it is not included in the non-exhaustive list of
main feed materials, laid down by Council Directive 96/25/EC
of29April1996onthecirculationanduseoffeedmaterials(

TheissueofwatertobeconsideredasfeedingstuffsneedstobeexaminedintheframeworkofthatDirective.
(5)It has been established that additives can contain undesirable
substances. The scope of the Directive should therefore be
extendedtocoveradditives.
(6)Products intended for animal feed may contain undesirablesubstanceswhichcanendangeranimalhealthor,becauseoftheir

the substances' acute toxicity, bio-accumulability and degrad-ability,inordertopreventundesirableandharmfuleffects.Itis
at present inappropriate to fix this content below the levels
detectablebymethodsofanalysistobedefinedfortheCommu-nity.
(8)Themethods fordetermining residuesofundesirable substancesare becoming increasingly sophisticated, so that even quantitiesof residues which are negligible for animal and human healthcanbedetected.
(9)Undesirable substances may be present in products intended foranimalfeedonlyinaccordancewiththeconditionslaiddownin
this Directive and may not be used in any other way for the
purposes of animal feed. This Directive should therefore applywithout affecting other Community provisions on feedingstuffs,andparticularlytherulesapplicabletocompoundfeedingstuffs.
(10)This Directive must apply to products intended for animal feedassoonastheyentertheCommunity.Itmustthereforebestipu-latedthatthemaximumlevelsofundesirablesubstancesthatareset apply in general fromthe date on which the products

ited.
(12)The presence of certain undesirable substances in complemen-tary feedingstuffs must be limited by fixing appropriatemaximumlevels.
(13)Whileincertaincasesamaximumlevelisfixed,takingaccountof background levels, continued effort is still needed to restrictthe presence of some specific undesirable substances to thelowest possible levels in products intended for animal feed soastoreducetheirpresenceinthefeedandfoodchain.Itshould
therefore be permitted, under this Directive, to lay down action
thresholds well below the maximum levels fixed. Where suchaction thresholds are exceeded, investigations must be carriedout to identify the sources of the undesirable substances andstepstakentoreduceoreliminatesuchsources.
(14)Where animal or human health or the environment is endan-gered, Member States should be allowed temporarily to reduce
the fixed maximum permissible levels, to fix maximum levels
for other substances or to prohibit the presence of suchsubstances in products intended for animal feed. In order toensure a uniform application, any amendments to Annex I tothis Directive should be decided on by emergency Communityprocedure,onthebasisofsupportingdocumentsandtheprecau-
tionaryprinciple.
(15)Products intended for animal feed that satisfy the requirementsofthisDirectivemaynotbesubjecttorestrictionsonentryinto
