Groups of additives used in animal nutrition

The European Parliament adopted the report by Mrs ROTHE (PSE, D) on the amendment to Directive 70/524 concerning additives in feedingstuffs. The only amendment adopted in plenary relates to Article 1, paragraph 9, and stipulates that additives may only be used if incorporated into feedingstuffs. A different method of administration may only be considered for concentrations of vitamins/trace elements. Protection for animals and consumers must be guaranteed by limiting marketing permits. The adoption of this amendment invalidates amendment 3 adopted by the Committee on Agriculture. In addition, Mrs ROTHE's report on the proposal for a decision defining the groups of additives used in feedingstuffs subject to a permit relating to the person responsible for marketing was rejected.�
