COMMISSION DIRECTIVE 95/9/EC of 7 April 1995 amending Directive 94/39/EC establishing a list of intended uses of animal feedingstuffs for particular nutritional purposes (Text with EEA relevance)

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,

Having regard to Council Directive 93/74/EEC of 13 September 1993 on feedingstuffs intended for particular nutritional purposes (1), and in particular Article 6 (c) thereof,

Whereas Article 6 (c) of Directive 93/74/EEC provides that the measures adopted according to Article 6 (a) may be adjusted to developments in scientific and technical knowledge; whereas those measures have been adopted by Commission Directive 94/39/EC (2);

Whereas certain nutritional purposes could not at first be included in the list of intended uses of animal feedingstuffs for particular nutritional purposes owing to the absence at the time of Community methods for calculating the energy value of pet foods;

Whereas a method for calculating that energy value has now been adopted at Community level and the said nutritional purposes can therefore be included in the list;

Whereas, furthermore, the list of particular nutritional purposes adopted for equines should be adapted and supplemented on the basis of available data;

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

HAS ADOPTED THIS DIRECTIVE:
