                           EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM
At  its plenary session of 6 to 10 July         1992, the European Parliament
gave   its opinion  on  the   proposal   for   a Council    Directive   amending
Directive    74/63/EEC   on   undesirable     substances     and   products   in
feedingstuffs (C0M(91)369 final).
The Commission accepted two amendments proposed by Parliament regarding
the  applicability   of   the  health   standards     laid  down   in  Directive
74/63/EEC   to  feedingstuffs    exported    to   non-member   countries.   This
proposal   therefore   amends    the  Commission's      initial   proposal,   in
accordance with Article 149(3) of the Treaty.

                               AMENDED PROPOSAL
                                      for a
                              COUNCIL DIRECTIVE
amending   Directive   74/63/EEC    concerning   undesirable   substances  and
products in feedingstuffs
(Presented   by  the Commission    pursuant   to Article  149(3) of    the EEC
Treaty)
Following the opinion given by Parliament at        its plenary session of 6
to  10 July   1992 on    the proposal    for  a Directive   presented   to the
Council on 22 October 1991 with a view to amending Directive 74/62/EEC
on undesirable substances and products in feedingstuffs, the Commission
has decided, in accordance with Article 149(3) of the Treaty, to amend
its initial proposal as follows:
1. The following recital is added after the last recital:
   "Whereas   the European Community      should apply  to exports    to third
   countries at    least  the same rules on     health  as apply   within  the
   Community;"
2. The following is added to Article 1:
   "9.      Article 11 is replaced by the following:
                                  Article 11
   The Member States shall also apply the provisions of this Directive
   to feedingstuffs intended for export to third countries."
