Foodstuffs of animal origin: maximum residue limits of veterinary medicinal products

In adopting the report by Mr Ken COLLINS (PSE, UK) on the amendment of Regulation 2377/90/EEC establishing maximum residue limits of veterinary medicinal products in foodstuffs of animal origin, Parliament adopted only Amendment 8 to this proposal. This amendment which does not concern the substance of the proposal states that if the potentially most dangerous substances such as pyrazolone derivates, nitromidazoles, arsanilic acid and phenylbutazone are not assessed before 31 December 1997 they will be prohibited within the Community from 1 January 1998. �
