COMMISSION DIRECTIVE

of 26 July 1988

amending the Annex to Council Directive 82/471/EEC concerning certain products used in animal nutrition

(88/485/EEC)

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,

Having regard to Council Directive 82/471/EEC of 30 June 1982 concerning certain products used in animal nutrition (1), as last amended by Commission Directive 86/530/EEC (2), and in particular Article 6 thereof,

Whereas Directive 82/471/EEC provides for regular amendment of the content of the Annex thereto as a result of developments in scientific or technical knowledge;

Whereas it is appropriate for reasons of clarity to split up the group of amino acids and their salts according to the different amino acids;

Whereas the study of two new lysine-based products has shown that these products fulfil the requirements of Directive 82/471/EEC; whereas the use of the products in animal nutrition should, therefore, be permitted under certain conditions;

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

HAS ADOPTED THIS DIRECTIVE:

Article 1

The Annex to Directive 82/471/EEC is amended as set out in the Annex hereto.

Article 2

The Member States shall bring into force the laws, regulations and administrative provisions necessary to comply with Article 1 not later than 30 June 1989. They shall immediately inform the Commission thereof.
