ICOUNCIL DIRECTIVE
of 30 June 1982
concerning certain products used in animal nutrition
(82/471/EEC)
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the T reaty establishing the EuropeanEconomic Community, and in particular Articles 43 and
100 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission (
1),
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parlia-
ment (2),
Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and Social
Committee (3),
Whereas livestock production occupies a very important
place in the agriculture of the Community and satisfactory
results depend to a large extent on the use of appropriateand good quality feedingstuffs;
Whereas the existence of rules concerning feedingstuffs is
essential to an increase in agricultural productivity;
Whereas consumption of feed proteins is continually rising
in the Community due to the ever increasing needs of live-
stock production;
Whereas this increasing demand has been accompanied in
recent years by an appreciable decline in the supply on the
world market of certain protein feedingstuffs;
Whereas this shortage has caused the feedingstuffs industry
to carry out research into substitution products to assure
the availability of supplies;
Whereas the provisions laid down in the Member States by
law, regulation or administrative action concerning these
products, in so far as they exist, differ as regards their
basic principles; whereas it follows that they directly affect
the establishment and functioning of the common market
and should therefore be harmonized;
Whereas these substitution products are produced by new
technical processes and it is therefore desirable to regulate
their marketing as feedingstuffs or constituents of feeding-
stuffs by prescribing, for each group concerned, which indi-
vidual products shall be authorized and under what condi-
tions of use;
Whereas it is necessary, before including a new product in
one of the groups concerned, to ascertain that it has the
required nutritional value; whereas it must be established
that these products, when used sensibly, have no detrimen-
t a le f f e c to nh u m a no ra n i m a lh e a l t ho ro nt h ee n v i r o n -ment and do not harm the consumer by impairing the dis-
tinctive features of animal products;

(2) OJ No C 63, 13. 3. 1978, p. 53.
(3) OJ No C 84, 8. 4. 1978, p. 4.
82/471/EEC - - - I
IIWhereas, in order to ensure compliance with the funda-
mental principles laid down for the authorization, a dossier
should be submitted officially by a Member State for prod-
ucts belonging to certain groups; whereas, in order to fa-
cilitate the examination of the substances concerned, these
dossiers should be prepared in accordance with the com-
mon guidelines to be set by the Council not later than the
date of application of the Directive;
Whereas it is desirable, pending a Community decision, to
allow Member States temporarily to maintain the national
authorizations they have granted for products which do not
at present appear in the Annex to the Directive or for spe-
cific products meeting in certain cases other conditions;
whereas, however, for products obtained from yeasts of the
’Candida’ variety and cultivated on n-alkanes a Community
decision should be taken within two years of the notifica-
tion of this Directive;
Whereas non-protein nitrogenous compounds, by reason of
their indirect provision of protein, must be subject to the
provisions of this Directive; whereas it is consequently de-
sirable to amend with regard to its Annexes Council Direc-
tive 70/524/EEC of 23 November 1970 concerning addi-
tives in feedingstuffs (1), which temporarily regulates the
use of products of this group;
Whereas the nutritional value and safety of the products in
question depend to a large extent on their compositional
characteristics, conditions of use and processes of manufac-
ture; whereas it is therefore essential to provide in certain
cases for labelling to protect the user against fraud and to
facilitate the optimal use of the products available to him;
Whereas it is not appropriate to apply Community provi-
sions to the products concerned, or to feedingstuffs con-
taining these products, intended for export to third
countries because in general these countries have their
own regulations;
Whereas, in order to ensure that the requirements of this
Directive are satisfied when these products, or feeding-
stuffs containing these products, are placed on the market,
Member States must make provision for appropriate con-
trol arrangements;
Whereas products, or feedingstuffs containing such prod-
ucts, satisfying these requirements must be subject only to
the marketing restrictions provided for in this Directive;
(1) OJ No L 270, 14. 12. 1970, p. 1.
82/471/EEC - - - I
IIIWhereas an appropriate Community procedure is essential
to adapt the provisions of the Annex and the guidelines
laid down for the submission of dossiers relating to certain
products and, where necessary, to fix criteria of composi-
tion and purity as well as the physico-chemical and biologi-
cal properties of these products in the light of the develop-
ment of scientific and technical knowledge;
Whereas, with a view to providing all necessary guarantees,
the Community procedure adopted should make provision
in certain cases of amendment of the Annex for the com-
pulsory consultation of the Scientific Committee for Ani-
mal Nutrition and the Scientific Committee for Food, set
up by the Commission;
Whereas Member States should retain the power, if human
or animal health is endangered, temporarily to suspend
authorization of the use of a product or to amend any
provisions relating thereto;
Whereas, in order that a Member State should not abuse
that power, possible amendments to the Annex based on
supporting documents should be decided by emergency
Community procedure;
Whereas, in order to facilitate implementation of this Di-
rective, a procedure should be applied which establishes
close cooperation between Member States and the Com-
mission within the Standing Committee for Feedingstuffs
set up by Decision 70/372/EEC (1),
HAS ADOPTED THIS DIRECTIVE:
