EXPLANATORY NOTE

These Regulations amend the European Communities (Additives in Feedingstuffs) Regulations, 1989, so as to give effect to Commission Directive 96/66/EC and Commission Directive 97/6/EC. Directive 96/66/EC provides for some minor amendments to the Schedules. Directive 97/6/EC provides that the use of avoparcin in feedingstuffs for all animal species is prohibited.
