The Commission is proposing to make the regulations on additives in animal feed more coherent, and we approve of that approach. However, on the grounds of making what appears to be a technical alteration to an existing regulation, it is taking advantage of the opportunity to make fundamental changes to the authorisation procedure.
Regarding the regulations on additives, we support the proposals aimed at bringing an end to the use of the antibiotics that are still authorised to promote growth, with a transition period, and at simplifying the authorisation procedure for additives that are already authorised for human food. We also share the principle of continuing to consider coccidiostats and histomonostats as additives until we find other methods of protecting animals against those illnesses. However, we await proposals from the Commission that will assure us that the same requirements will be applied to imported meat.
With regard to the authorisation procedure, we cannot support the Commission’s proposal granting the European Food Safety Authority sole responsibility for investigating applications, which until now was under the authority of the Member States. For this reason we cannot vote in favour of the report."@en1
