FORTY-SEVENTH COMMISSION DIRECTIVE

of 26 October 1984

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

(84/547/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-Sixth Commission Directive 84/349/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 and 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 the use of the coccidiostat 'Meticlorpindol/methylbenzoquate mixture', the emulsifier 'Polyoxyethylene (20) sorbitan trioleate' and the antimotting agent 'Perlite' has been successfully tested in certain Member States; whereas the use of these additives should be provisionally authorized, 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 specific 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:
