COUNCIL DIRECTIVE 98/9/EC of 20 January 1998 on the list of less-favoured farming areas within the meaning of Regulation (EC) No 950/97 (Denmark)

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 950/97 of 20 May 1997 on improving the efficiency of agricultural structures (1), and in particular Article 21(2) thereof,

Having regard to the proposal from the Commission (2),

Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (3),

Whereas the permanent natural and geographical handicaps existing in the Danish islands result in higher production and transport costs which prevent farmers in these areas from obtaining, from their production, income on a level with that obtained by comparable farmers elsewhere in the Member State;

Whereas the Danish Government has sent the Commission, in accordance with Article 21(1) of Regulation (EC) No 950/97, a list of islands suitable for inclusion in the Community list of less-favoured farming areas and information on the particular features of these areas;

Whereas, with a view to identifying the areas affected by specific handicaps that can be deemed less-favoured areas as referred to in Article 25 of Regulation (EC) No 950/97, all islands with an area of less than 600 km2 on which adverse natural conditions contribute to a farming income below the national average have been selected;

Whereas the total surface area of the relevant areas does not exceed 4 % of the total surface area of the Member State in question;

Whereas the nature and level of the above indices used by the Government of Denmark to define the areas notified to the Commission correspond to the characteristics of the areas affected by specific handicaps referred to in Article 25 of Regulation (EC) No 950/97,

HAS ADOPTED THIS DIRECTIVE:

Article 1

The list of less-favoured farming areas in Denmark shall be that contained in the Annex to this Directive. They shall be included in the Community list of less-favoured farming areas within the meaning of Article 25 of Regulation (EC) No 950/97.

amending Annex III to Council Directive 77/93/EEC on protective measures against the introduction into the Community of organisms harmful to plants or plant products and against their spread within the Community

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,

Having regard to Council Directive 77/93/EEC of 21 December 1976 on protective measures against the introduction into the Community of organisms harmful to plants or plant products and against their spread within the Community(1), as last amended by Commission Directive 98/2/EC(2), and in particular Article 13, second paragraph, third indent, thereof,

(2) Whereas this amendment is in accordance with the requests of the Member States concerned;

amending Directive 2001/101/EC as regards the date from which trade in products not in conformity with Directive 2000/13/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council is prohibited

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 95 thereof,

Having regard to Directive 2000/13/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 20 March 2000 on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to the labelling, presentation and advertising of foodstuffs(1), as amended by Commission Directive 2001/101/EC(2), and in particular the first indent of the second subparagraph of Article 6(6) thereof,

Whereas:

(1) The provisions of Directive 2001/101/EC concerning the labelling of products containing meat are not applicable until the day following the final deadline for transposition of that Directive by the Member States.

(2) Following the adoption of a definition of the term "meat" for labelling purposes, the operators concerned will have to make considerable changes to the labelling of their products, in particular in respect of the list of ingredients and, where applicable, the meat content.

(3) Because of the large number of such products on the market and the number of small and medium-sized enterprises affected, an adequate transitional period is needed to enable the labelling of these products to be brought into line with Directive 2001/101/EC.

(4) Provision must also be made to enable operators to sell on the market products labelled prior to expiry of the transitional period whose labelling does not comply with the abovementioned provisions.

(5) Directive 2001/101/EC should therefore be amended accordingly.

(6) The measures provided for in this Directive are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,

HAS ADOPTED THIS DIRECTIVE:

Article 1

Article 2 of Directive 2001/101/EC is replaced by the following: "Article 2

Commission Directive 2002/1/EC

of 7 January 2002

amending Directive 94/39/EC as regards animal feedingstuffs for the support of liver function in case of chronic liver insufficiency

(Text with EEA relevance)

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,

Having regard to Council Directive 93/74/EEC of 13 September 1993 on feedingstuffs intended for particular nutritional purposes(1), as last amended by Directive 1999/29/EC(2), and in particular Article 6(c) thereof,

Whereas:

(1) By Directive 94/39/EC(3), as amended by Directive 95/9/EC(4), the Commission has adopted a list of intended uses of animal feedingstuffs for particular nutritional purposes.

(2) Further scientific research has demonstrated that there is no necessity to lower or moderate the level of fat in feedingstuffs intended to support liver function in chronic liver insufficiency for cats and dogs. It has however shown that it would be beneficial to indicate on the label the need for water to be available to animals fed with such feeds at all times.

(3) Directive 94/39/EC should therefore be adapted accordingly.

(4) The measures provided for in this Directive are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Feedingstuffs,

HAS ADOPTED THIS DIRECTIVE:

Article 1

Commission Directive 2003/7/EC

of 24 January 2003

amending the conditions for authorisation of canthaxanthin in feedingstuffs in accordance with Council Directive 70/524/EEC

(Text with EEA relevance)

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,

Having regard to Council Directive 70/524/EEC of 23 November 1970 concerning additives in feedingstuffs(1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1756/2002(2), and in particular Article 9r thereof,

Whereas:

(1) Under Directive 70/524/EEC the additive canthaxanthin is authorised under certain conditions.

(2) In 1997 the Scientific Committee on Food (SCF) concluded the acceptable daily intake (ADI) of canthaxanthin for humans could be set at 0,03 mg/kg of body weight.

(3) In the light of the SCF's revision of the ADI, the Scientific Committee on Animal Nutrition (SCAN) reviewed levels of canthaxanthin in feed for salmonids, broilers and laying hens to ensure consumer safety. SCAN has stated that consumer safety would be assured by setting maximum canthaxanthin concentrations of 25 mg/kg of feed for salmonids and broilers and at 8 mg/kg of feed for laying hens.

(4) The current canthaxanthin authorisations need to be amended to provide greater protection for consumers' health.

(5) The measures provided for in this Directive are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,

HAS ADOPTED THIS DIRECTIVE:

Article 1

The conditions for authorising canthaxanthin (E 161g) in feedingstuffs are amended in accordance with the entries in the Annex to this Directive.

Article 2

Member States shall bring into force the laws, regulations and administrative provisions necessary to comply with this Directive by 1 September 2003 at the latest. They shall forthwith inform the Commission thereof.
