16. Compound feedingstuffs ***I

A5-0233/2000

Proposal for a European Parliament and Council directive amending Directive 79/373/EEC on the
marketing of compound feedingstuffs (COM(1999) 744 / C5-0020/2000 / 2000/0015(COD))

The proposal was amended as follows:

TEXT PROPOSED
BY THE COMMISSION

AMENDMENTS
BY PARLIAMENT

(Amendment 1)
Recital 9a (new)

(9a) A requirement for manufacturers to produce inter-
nal company documentation as proof of the composition
of compound feedingstuffs may reduce the burden on
Member States in terms of monitoring.

(Amendment 2)
Recital 10a (new)

(10a) The BSE crisis and the recent dioxin crisis have
shown once again that the safety of feedingstuffs can
only be guaranteed by a binding definition of permissible
feed materials. The Commission should therefore submit
to the European Parliament and the Council without
delay proposals for a positive list of permissible feed
materials for feedingstuffs.

(Amendment 3)
ARTICLE 1(2a) (new)
Article 5(5)(d) (Directive 79/373/EEC)

(d) the minimum storage life, the net quantity, the
batch reference number and the approval or regis-
tration number may be marked outside the space
reserved for the labelling particulars referred to in
paragraph 1; in this case, the space provided for
this information shall contain an indication of
where the information appears.
