    The Commission's amended proposal incorporates 2 of the 5 amendments adopted by the European Parliament in plenary. It introduces a new recital highlighting that the rules of Directive 87/153/EEC need to be applied in order to ensure that the additive does not select factors resistant to antibiotics and that there is no cross resistance and it adds a paragraph stipulating a deadline of one year for clearing stocks of additives, pre-mixed feeds and feedingstuffs which do not comply with all the requirements of the directive. However, the Commission rejected the amendments seeking to: - integrate the content of the proposal for a decision laying down the groups of additives into the proposal for a directive (according to the Commission, the directive cannot be used to grant high-tech additive manufacturers exclusive rights); - make provision for the administration of additives other than in feedingstuffs to be allowed only in the case of pre-mixed vitamins and/or trace elements; - amend the comitology procedure (which is perfectly in keeping with Council decision 87/373/EEC).�

    This proposal sought to amend Directive No 70/524/EEC on additives in feedingstuffs, to adapt the provisions on the authorisation procedure to the new current principles which require that licences to bring into circulation high-technology additives of very precise composition be granted to specific responsible individuals. In this way recent problems due to the introduction into the Community of poor copies of additives originating in non-Member States would be avoided in future. With the same objective of protecting public health, a regular reassessment of the lists of additives was proposed. In addition, to avoid problems of distortion of competition due to frequent delays in the transposition of directives and any disputes between Member States arising out of national licensing procedures, it was suggested that new additives be licensed by a decision, and that provisional licensing of additives meeting a minimum set of conditions be extended to the whole of the Community. This mechanism would be introduced at the end of a transitional system, described in the proposal. �
