   THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

   Having regard to the opinions of the European Medicines Agency formulated by the Committee for Medicinal Products for Veterinary Use,
   Whereas:
   
               (1)
            
            
               All pharmacologically active substances used in the Community in veterinary medicinal products intended for food-producing animals should be evaluated in accordance with Regulation (EEC) No 2377/90.
            
         
               (2)

               (4)
            
            
               An adequate period should be allowed before the applicability of this Regulation in order to enable Member States to make any adjustment which may be necessary in the light of this Regulation to the authorisations to place the veterinary medicinal products concerned on the market which have been granted in accordance with Directive 2001/82/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 6 November 2001 on the Community code relating to veterinary medicinal products (2) to take account of the provisions of this Regulation.
            
         
               (5)
