EXPLANATORY NOTE

The Regulations amend the European Communities (Additives in Feedingstuffs) Regulations, 1989, so as to give effect to Commission Directives 93/27/EEC, and 93/55/EEC, which amend Annexes I and II to Council Directive 70/524/EEC concerning additives in feedingstuffs, with regard to the additives authorised in feedingstuffs and their conditions of use.
