(1) Commission Directive 94/39/EC 25 July 1994 establishing a list intended uses animal feedingstuffs for particular nutritional purposes ( 2 ) has been substantially amended several times ( 3 ). In the interests clarity rationality the said Directive should be codified. (2) Directive 93/74/EEC provides for the establishment a positive list the intended uses animal feedingstuffs for particular nutritional purposes. That list must indicate the precise use, that is to say, the particular nutritional purpose, the essential nutritional characteristics, the labelling declarations where the special labelling requirements. (3) Certain nutritional purposes cannot be included at present in the list intended uses due to the absence Community methods control for the energy value in pet foods for dietary fibre in feedingstuffs. This list must be completed as soon as these methods have been adopted. (4) The established list may be modified, where, following developments in scientific technical knowledge. (5) The measures provided for in this Directive are in accordance with the opinion the Sting Committee on the Food Chain Animal Health. (6) This Directive should be without prejudice to the obligations the Member States relating to the timelimits for transposition into national law the Directives set out in Annex II, Part B, HAS ADOPTED THIS DIRECTIVE: Article 1 Member States shall require that feedingstuffs intended for particular nutritional purposes within the meaning Directive 93/74/EEC shall be marketed only if their intended uses are included in Part B Annex I to this Directive if they fulfil the other provisions laid down in that Part Annex I. Furthermore, the Member States shall ensure that the provisions under General provisions Part A Annex I are complied with. Article 2 Directive 94/39/EC, as amended by the Directives listed in Annex II, Part A, is repealed, without prejudice to the obligations the Member States relating to the time-limits for transposition into national law the Directives set out in Annex II, Part B.
References to the repealed Directive shall be construed as references to this Directive shall be read in accordance with the correlation table in Annex III. Article 3 This Directive shall enter into force on 31 July 2008. Article 4 This Directive is addressed to the Member States. PART A General provisions ANNEX I 1. Where there is more than one group nutritional characteristics indicated in column 2 Part B, denoted by /or, for the same nutritional purpose, the manufacturer has the option to use either or both groups essential characteristics, in order to achieve the nutritional purpose defined in column 1. For each option the corresponding labelling declarations are given opposite in column 4. 2. Where a group additives is mentioned in column 2 or column 4 Part B the additive(s) used must be authorised in Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 the European Parliament the Council ( 4 ) as corresponding to the specified essential characteristic. 3. Where the source(s) ingredients or analytical constituents is (are) required in column 4 Part B, the manufacturer must make a precise declaration (e.g. specific name the ingredient(s), animal species or part the animal) allowing the evaluation conformity the feedingstuff with the corresponding essential nutritional characteristics. 4. Where the declaration a substance, also authorised as an additive, is required in column 4 Part B is accompanied by the expression total the declared content must refer to, as, the quantity naturally present where none is added or, by derogation from Council Directive 70/524/EEC ( 5 ), the total quantity the substance naturally present the amount added as an additive. 5. The declarations required in column 4 Part B with the reference if added are compulsory where the ingredient or the additive has been incorporated or increased specifically to enable the achievement the particular nutritional purpose. 6. The declarations to be given in accordance with column 4 Part B concerning analytical constituents additives must be quantitative.
7. The recommended period use indicated in column 5 part B indicates a range within which the nutritional purpose should normally be achieved. Manufacturers can refer to more precise periods use, within the fixed limits. 8. Where a feedingstuff is intended to meet more than one particular nutritional purpose, it must comply with the corresponding entries in Part B. 9. In the case complementary feedingstuffs intended for particular nutritional purposes guidance on the balance the daily ration must be provided in the instructions for use contained on the label.
