COMMISSION  DECISION
of 19 January 1984
amending Decision 83/296/EEC authorizing Member States to permit temporarily the marketing of forestry reproductive material not satisfying the requirements of Council Directive 66/404/EEC
(84/50/EEC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN
COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 66/404/EEC of 14 June 1966 on the marketing of forest reproductive material (1), as last amended by Directive 79/410/EEC (2), and in particular Article 15 (1) thereof,
Having regard to the request submitted by the Federal Republic of Germany and the Kingdom of Denmark,
Whereas production of reproductive material of forestry species is at present insufficient in all Member States so that their requirements for reproductive material conforming to the provisions of Directive 66/404/EEC cannot be met;
Whereas non-member countries are not in a position to supply sufficient reproductive material of the relevant species which can afford the same guarantees as Community reproductive material and which conforms to the provisions of the abovementioned Directive;
Whereas by Decision 83/296/EEC (3), the Commission authorized the Member States to permit temporarily the marketing of forest reproductive material which satisfies less stringent requirements;
Whereas it has become apparent that what is indicated in respect of the species 'Quercus borealis Michx' in the case of Denmark should in fact apply to the species 'Quercus sessiliflora Sal.';
Whereas, in order to be able to cover completely the requirements of the two abovementioned Member States, it is appropriate to increase the authorized quantities for the species 'Quercus pendunculata Ehrh.' and 'Quercus sessiliflora Sal.' respectively;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Seed and Propagating Material for Agriculture, Horticulture and Forestry,
The Annex to Decision 83/296/EEC is hereby amended as follows:
- in the column 'Quercus pendunculata Ehrh.', '15 000 kg' in line 'D' is replaced by '25 000 kg',
- the entries in the column 'Quercus borealis Michx' for line 'DK' are deleted,
- in the column 'Quercus sessiliflora Sal.', '22 000 kg' and 'N (zone F-O)' are inserted in line 'DK'.
This Decision is addressed to the Member States.
Council Regulation (EC) No 355/2003
of 20 February 2003
on the authorisation of the additive avilamycin in feedingstuffs
(Text with EEA relevance)
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
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), and in particular Article 9 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 2(aaa) of Directive 70/524/EEC requires authorisations for antibiotics to be linked to the person responsible for putting them into circulation.
(2) Article 9 of the said Directive provides that a substance linked to the person responsible for putting it into circulation may be authorised for a period of 10 years if all conditions laid down in Article 3a of the said Directive are met.
(3) The assessment of the dossier submitted in respect of the antibiotic preparation described in the Annex to this Regulation, shows that the conditions referred to in Article 3a of the said Directive are satisfied, and the product may therefore be entered in Chapter I of the list of the authorised additives in feedingstuffs pursuant to Article 9t(b) of the said Directive. This list provides for additives authorised for a period of 10 years.
(4) The Communication of the Commission of July 2001 on a Community strategy against antimicrobial resistance sets out the elements for an effective policy against antimicrobial resistance. One of these elements is the ban of the use of antibiotics in feedingstuffs as growth promoters from 1 January 2006.
(5) The Commission has submitted a proposal for a Regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council on additives for use in animal nutrition which provides for the phasing out of the use of antibiotics for growth promotion. The European Parliament during its first reading of the proposal supported a phasing out. The Council reached in December 2002 a political agreement in view of the adoption of a common position providing for the discontinuation of the use of antibiotics as growth promoters by 1 January 2006. The duration of the authorisation provided for in this Regulation is therefore likely to be substantially reduced as an effect of the adoption of the new Regulation governing the use of additives in animal nutrition.
(6) In the absence of a favourable opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health, the Commission has been unable to adopt the provisions it envisaged under the procedure laid down in Article 23 of the said Directive,
The additive avilamycin belonging to the group "Antibiotics" listed in the Annex shall be authorised for use as an additive in animal nutrition under the conditions laid down in the Annex.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the 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.

(2) Clarity is needed concerning certain provisions of Common Position 2003/495/CFSP,
In Common Position 2003/495/CFSP, the following Article is inserted:

(a) necessary to satisfy basic needs of the persons referred to in Article 2(b), and their dependent family members, including payments for foodstuffs, rent or mortgage, medicines and medical treatment, taxes, insurance premiums, and public utility charges;
