FORTY-SIXTH COMMISSION DIRECTIVE

of 28 May 1984

amending the Annexes to Council Directive 70/524/EEC concerning additives in feedingstuffs

(84/349/EEC)

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN

COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,

Having regard to Council Directive 70/524/EEC of 23 November 1970 concerning additives in feedingstuffs (1), as last amended by the Forty-fifth Commission Directive 84/107/EEC (2), and in particular Article 6 thereof,

Whereas Directive 70/524/EEC provides for regular amendment of the content of its Annexes to take account of advances in scientific and technical knowledge;

Whereas certain coccidiostats, emulsifiers and certain binders, hitherto authorized for certain uses at national level, have been widely tested; whereas the studies carried out and experience gained indicate that these additives may be authorized throughout the Community for the uses specified;

Whereas there is evidence that the growth promoter Nitrovin no longer meets all the conditions required for it to be maintained on the list of additives authorized at Community level; it is therefore appropriate to transfer this additive to Annex II to the Directive;

Whereas a new use of the coccidiostat 'lasalocide sodium' has been successfully tested in certain Member States; whereas this new use should be authorized provisionally, at least at national level, until such time as it is permitted at Community level;

Whereas the investigation of various additives currently listed in Annex II and therefore authorizable at national level has not yet been completed; whereas, therefore, the period of authorization of these substances should be extended for a specified period;

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

HAS ADOPTED THIS DIRECTIVE:

(1) OJ No L 270, 14. 12. 1970, p. 1.
