of 29 April 2004
authorising without time limit the use of beta-carotene and canthaxanthin as additives in feedingstuffs belonging to the group of colouring matters including pigments
(Text with EEA relevance)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 70/524/EEC of 23 November 1970 concerning additives in feedingstuffs(1), as last amended by Council Regulation (EC) No 1756/2002(2) and in particular Article 9d paragraph 1 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Directive 70/524/EEC provides that a use of an additive has to be authorised at Community level.
(2) The additives referred to in Annex to this Regulation, beta-carotene, used for canaries, and canthaxanthin, used for pet and ornamental birds, were provisionally authorised for the first time by Commission Regulation (EC) No 2316/98 of 26 October 1998(3). The provisional authorisation of these additives was extended until 14 December 2003 by Commission Regulation (EC) No 2200/2001 of 17 October 2001(4).
(3) New data, about efficacy, was submitted by the company producing both additives in support of the application to obtain an authorisation without time limit.
(4) The assessment of the application for an authorisation for a period without time limit submitted in respect of the "Carotenoids and xanthophylls" of the group "Colouring matters including pigments" shows that the relevant conditions laid down in Directive 70/524/EEC are satisfied.
(5) The assessment of the application shows that certain procedures are required to protect workers from exposure to the additives beta-carotene and canthaxanthin. However, such protection is assured by the application of Council Directive 89/391/EEC of 12 June 1989(5) on the introduction of measures to encourage improvements in the safety and health of workers at work.
(6) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee for Food Chain and Animal Health section Animal Nutrition.

This Regulation shall enter into force on the third day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.
COMMISSION REGULATION (EEC) No 3788/92
of 28 December 1992
amending  Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2893/92 on the application of a minimum import price for frozen  strawberries originating in Poland
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1333/92 of 18 May 1992 on the system of minimum import  prices for certain soft fruits originating in Hungary, Poland and Czechoslovakia  (1), and in  particular Article 2 thereof,
Whereas Article 4 of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1498/92 of 10 June 1992 laying down detailed  rules for the application of the minimum import price system for certain soft fruits originating in  Hungary, Poland and the Czech and Slovak Federal Republic and fixing the minimum import prices  applicable until 31 May 1993  (2) provides that the Commission is to adopt any necessary measures  if the minimum import price is not complied with;
Whereas, by Regulation (EEC) No 2893/92  (3), the Commission introduced a minimum import price  applicable until 31 December 1992 to frozen strawberries originating in Poland; whereas information  available to the Commission shows clearly that the unit value of frozen strawberries originating in  Poland falling within Taric code 0811  10  90  *  10 has, on average, for the second three-month  period of the marketing year, remained well below the minimum import price fixed in Regulation  (EEC) No 1498/92; whereas, on the other hand, the unit value of frozen strawberries originating in  Poland falling within Taric code 0811  10  90  *90 has, on average, for the second three-month  period, been above the minimum import prices fixed in Regulation (EEC) No 1498/92; whereas the  requirement of a minimum price should therefore be maintained for a further period of three months  for frozen strawberries falling within Taric code 0811  10  90  *  10 and abolished for frozen  strawberries falling within Taric code 0811  10  90  *  90,
Regulation (EEC) No 2893/92 is hereby  amended as follows:
1.  The first paragraph of Article 1 is replaced by the following:
'A countervailing charge shall be levied on imports into the Community of frozen strawberries  falling within CN code ex  0811  10  90 (Taric code 0811  10  90  *  10) and originating in Poland,  equal to the difference between the minimum import price as fixed in the Annex to Regulation (EEC)  No 1498/92 and the actual import price`.
2.  In Article 6 '31 December 1992` is replaced by '31 March 1993`.
This Regulation  shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European  Communities.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly  applicable in all Member States.

Having regard to Council Directive 70/524/EEC of 23 November 1970 concerning additives in feedingstuffs(1), as last amended by Commission Regulation (EC) No 2697/2000(2), and in particular Article 4 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Directive 70/524/EEC provides that new additives may be authorised following the review of an application made in accordance with Article 4 of the Directive.
(2) Article 9e(1) of the Directive provides that provisional authorisation of a new additive may be given if the conditions of Article 3a(b) to (e) of the Directive are satisfied and if it is reasonable to assume, in view of the available results, that when used in animal nutrition it has one of the effects referred to in Article 2(a). Such provisional authorisation may be given for a period up to four years in the case of additives referred to in Part II of Annex C to the Directive, including growth promoters.
(3) Article 2(aaa) of Directive 70/524/EEC requires authorisations for growth promoters to be linked to the person responsible for putting them into circulation
(4) The assessment of the dossier submitted in respect of the authorisation of potassium diformate belonging to the group of "Growth promoters" described in the Annex shows that it satisfies the abovementioned conditions and may therefore be authorised on a provisional basis for a four-year period.
(5) The assessment of the dossier shows that certain procedures may be required to protect workers from exposure to the additive. Such protection should however be assured by the application of Council Directive 89/391/EEC of 12 June 1989 on the introduction of measures to encourage improvements in the safety and health of workers at work(3).
(6) The Scientific Committee for Animal Nutrition has delivered a favourable opinion with regard to the safety for animals, users, consumers and the environment of the growth promoter under the conditions described in the said Annex.
(7) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee for Feedingstuffs,

This Regulation shall enter into force on the day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.

Mr SISON submitted observations to the Council by letter dated 24 March 2008, which the Council has considered.
