Commission Directive 2008/38/EC of 5 March 2008
establishing a list of intended uses of animal feedingstuffs
for particular nutritional purposes (2)
includes as a
particular nutritional purpose the ‘support of
renal
function in case of chronic renal insufficiency’.
By Regulation (EC) No 163/2008 (3), the Commission
authorised the preparation lanthanum carbonate octa­
hydrate as a zootechnical
feed additive for cats. This
authorisation was based on an opinion of the European
Food Safety Authority of 18 September 2007 (4). In that
opinion that Authority considered that supplementation
of diets with that preparation results in a decrease in
phosphorus excretion via urine and an increase in its

excretion via faeces,

It

Directive 2008/38/EC already includes feed with a low
level of phosphorus in the line ‘support of renal function
in case of chronic renal insufficiency’. The same positive
effect can be obtained if the absorption of phosphorus
contained in the feed is reduced. Lanthanum carbonate
octahydrate should therefore be included in the line
‘Support of renal function in case of chronic renal insuf­
ficiency’
in the list of intended uses in Part B of the
Annex I to Directive 2008/38/EC.

(4)

Directive 2008/38/EC should therefore be amended
accordingly.
