Description of content: The draft act concerns the withdrawal from the EU market of a series of feed additives, due to the lack of application for re-authorisation of those products submitted before the deadline laid down in Article 10(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 – or the withdrawal by the applicant of a submitted application for re‑authorisation. This measure is required by the regime set out in Article 10 of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 with regard to the status of 'existing products', i.e. additives which were allowed under the previous Directive 70/524/EEC.
