SCHEDULE
Regulation 2








EXPLANATORY NOTE

(This note is not part of the Regulations.)


These Regulations amend the Medicated Feedingstuffs Regulations 1998 ("the 1998 Regulations"). The 1998 Regulations as amended continue to implement Council Directive 90/167/EEC (O.J. No. L92, 7.4.90, p. 42) laying down the conditions governing the preparation, placing on the market and use of medicated feedingstuffs in the Community.

They provide (at regulation 2 and the Schedule) for new fees for applications for approval or renewal of - 

     -  premises manufacturing authorised intermediate products;

     -  premises which manufacture medicated feedingstuffs incorporating medicated pre-mixes; and

     -  distributors of medicated feedingstuffs.

The existing fee structure is changed and simplified. Previously, different fees were payable on an initial application for an approval, an application on renewal of an approval, and an application for an approval made outside the time limits in the Regulations. The new system specifies one fee for each of these applications. The previous fees are shown in the Schedule for comparison purposes.

Regulations 6 and 13 of the 1998 Regulations (which provide for late renewals) and references to them are revoked (regulation 2).
