Opinion of the Economic and Social Committee on the 'Proposal for a European Parliament and Council Directive amending Council Directive 95/69/EC laying down the conditions and arrangements for approving and registering certain establishments and intermediaries operating in the animal feed sector` () (98/C 129/13) On 9 September 1997 the Council decided to consult the Economic and Social Committee, under Articles 43 and 198 of the Treaty establishing the European Community, on the above-mentioned proposal. The Section for Agriculture and Fisheries, which was responsible for preparing the Committee's work on the subject, adopted its opinion on 5 February 1998. The rapporteur was Mr Gardner. At its 352nd plenary session (meeting of 25 February 1998), the Economic and Social Committee adopted the following opinion with 83 votes in favour, two votes against and four abstentions. 1. General comments 1.1. This is a logical extension to nutritional supplements of the existing directive. 1.2. The Committee has the same comments as explained in points 1 and 1.1 of R/CES 1497/97. 2. Detailed comments 2.1. Chapter I.2.(b), 6.2 This requires every farmer and supplier to register the receipt, delivery date and exact quantity of any nutritional supplements used on the farm. This is excessively bureaucratic. The Commission or Council should look how these matters are currently handled in Member States. Brussels, 25 February 1998.
