COMMISSION DIRECTIVE

of 14 July 1988

amending the Annexes to Council Directive 70/524/EEC concerning additives in feedingstuffs

(88/483/EEC)

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,

Having regard to Council Directive 70/524/EEC of 23 November 1970 concerning additives in feedingstuffs (1), as last amended by Commission Directive 88/228/EEC (2), and in particular Article 7 thereof,

Whereas Directive 70/524/EEC provides for regular amendment of the content of its Annexes to take account of advances in scientific and technical knowledge; whereas the Annexes were consolidated by Commission Directive 85/429/EEC (3);

Whereas the list of cases provided for in Annex I where bentonite-montmorillonite may, without risk of interaction, be mixed with antibiotics, coccidiostats and other medicinal substances should be supplemented;

Whereas perlite, used as an anticaking agent, complies in every respect with the principles governing the admission of additives; whereas it is desirable therefore to authorize its use throughout the Community;

Whereas Commission Regulations (EEC) No 368/77 (4) and (EEC) No 443/77 (5), as last amended by Regulations (EEC) No 222/88 (6) and (EEC) No 1413/87 (7) respectively, provide for the use of certain iron and copper compounds for denaturing skimmed-milk powder used for the nutrition of animals with the exception of young calves; whereas it is necessary therefore to adapt Annex I to Directive 70/524/EEC;

Whereas the investigation of the growth promotor 'Nitrovin' currently listed in Annex II and therefore authorizable at national level has not yet been completed; whereas, therefore, the period of authorization of this substance should be extended for a specific period;

Whereas the use of a new coccidiostat, maduramicin ammonium, has been successfully tested in certain Member States; whereas this new additive should be provisionally authorized at national level until such time as it is permitted at Community level;

Whereas the measures provided for in this Directive are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Feedingstuffs,

HAS ADOPTED THIS DIRECTIVE:

Article 1

The Annexes to Directive 70/524/EEC are hereby amended as set out in the Annex hereto.

Article 2

Member States shall, by 30 June 1989 at the latest, bring into force the laws, regulations or administrative provisions necessary to comply with this Directive. They shall immediately inform the Commission thereof.

Article 3

This Directive is addressed to the Member States.

Done at Brussels, 14 July 1988.
