COUNCIL DIRECTIVE  of 6 May 1980  amending Directive 74/63/EEC on the fixing of maximum permitted levels for undesirable substances and products in feedingstuffs  (80/502/EEC)
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Articles 43 and 100 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission (1),
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (2),
Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and Social Committee (3),
Whereas in order to implement Council Directive 74/63/EEC of 17 December 1973 on the fixing of maximum permitted levels for undesirable substances and products in feedingstuffs (4), as last amended by Directive 76/934/EEC (5), it appears necessary to complete the definition of technical terms to which this Directive refers;
Whereas it should be specified that the Directive is without prejudice to any provisions that may be taken concerning micro-organisms in feedingstuffs;
Whereas it is justifiable to grant Member States the possibility of derogating from the maximum permitted levels in the case of fodder which is produced and used on the same agricultural holding, provided that neither animal nor human health can suffer harm thereby,
