COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 1245/1999

of 16 June 1999

concerning the authorisation of new additives in feedingstuffs

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 Commission Regulation (EC) No 866/
1999 (2) and in particular Article 9j and Article 3 thereof,

(1) Whereas Directive 70/524/EEC provides that new
additives or uses of additives may be authorised,
taking account of advances in scientific and tech-
nical knowledge;

(2) Whereas

a new additive

‘Natrolite-phonolite'
belonging to the group ‘Binders, anti-caking agents
and coagulants' has been widely tested in some
Member States; whereas, on the basis of the studies
carried out, it appears that this new additive can be
authorised;

(3) Whereas another new additive,

‘Clinoptilolite of
volcanic origin', belonging to the group of ‘Binders,
anti-caking agents
and coagulants' has been
successfully tested in certain Member States;
whereas this new additive should be provisionally
authorised;

(4) Whereas a provisional authorisation of new addi-
tives or uses of additives may be given if, at the
level permitted in feedingstuffs,
it does not
adversely affect human or animal health or the
environment, nor harm the consumer by altering
the characteristics of livestock product, if its pres-
ence in feedingstuffs can be controlled, and it is
reasonable to assume,
the available
results, that it has a favourable effect on the charac-
those feedingstuffs or on livestock
teristics of

in view of

production when incorporated in such feeding-
stuffs;

(5) Whereas the provisional authorisation of ‘Natrolite-
phonolite' expired already on 21 April 1999;
whereas therefore for the purpose of legal certainty
it is necessary to provide for retroactivity of this
Regulation;

(6) Whereas the measures provided for in this Regula-
tion are in accordance with the opinion of the
Standing Committee on Feedingstuffs,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1

‘Natrolite-phonolite', belonging to the group ‘Binders,
anti-caking agents and coagulants', shall be authorised in
accordance with Directive 70/524/EEC as additive, E 566,
in feedingstuffs under the conditions laid down in Annex
I to this Regulation.

Article 2

‘Clinoptilolite of volcanic origin', belonging to the group
‘Binders, anti-caking agents and coagulants', may be
authorised in accordance with Directive 70/524/EEC as
additive, No 3, in feedingstuffs under the conditions laid
down in Annex II to this Regulation.

Article 3

This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of its
publication in the Official Journal of the European
Communities.

It shall apply from 22 April 1999.

This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member
States.

Done at Brussels, 16 June 1999.
