The entry for flubendazole in that Annex should be extended to all poultry species for muscle, skin and fat, liver, kidney and eggs.(3)The substance lasalocid is currently included in Annex I to Regulation (EEC) No 2377/90 for poultry for muscle, skin and fat, liver and kidney, excluding animals from which eggs are produced for human consumption. The substance lasalocid should be included in Annex III to that Regulation for poultry from which eggs are produced for human consumption, awaiting validation of analytical methods. Consequently the current provision, excluding animals from which eggs are produced for human consumption, should be deleted from the entry of lasalocid in Annex I to Regulation (EEC) No 2377/90.(4)Regulation (EEC) No 2377/90 should therefore be amended accordingly.(5)An adequate period should be allowed before the applicability of this Regulation in order to enable Member States to make any adjustment which may be necessary in the light of this Regulation to the authorisations to place the veterinary medicinal products concerned on the market which have been granted in accordance with Directive 2001/82/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 6 November 2001 on the Community code relating to veterinary medicinal productsOJ L 311, 28.11.2001, p. 1.
