(Text with EEA relevance). Language(s): English. Number of pages: 5+3

The draft act concerns the authorisation as "flavouring compound" of a tincture from the plant Lavandula angustifolia Mill. within the scope of the EU legislation on feed additives, i.e. Regulation (EC) No. 1831/2003. The measure aims at authorising this additive for all animal species. In addition, the draft act concerns the withdrawal from the EU market of a tincture from the plant Lavandula angustifolia × L. latifolia for all animal species, due to the withdrawal by the applicant of a submitted application for re-authorisation. This measure is required by the regime set out in Article 10 of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 with regard to the status of 'existing products', i.e. additives which were allowed under the previous Directive 70/524/EEC. Transitional periods are laid down for the interested parties to prepare themselves to meet the requirement concerning the new authorisation and withdrawal from the market of the products concerned.
