  1. Under Article 2(aaa) of Directive 70/524/EEC authorisations for putting coccidiostats into circulation are to be linked to the person responsible for putting them into circulation. Such authorisations may be given for a period of 10 years provided all the conditions laid down in Article 3a of that Directive are met.

  2. The assessment of the request for authorisation submitted in respect of the coccidiostat preparation specified in the Annex to this Regulation, shows that the conditions referred to in Article 3a of Directive 70/524/EEC are satisfied. The coccidiostat preparation may therefore be authorised and included in Chapter I of the list of authorised additives in feedingstuffs referred to in Article 9t(b) of that Directive.

  3. The Scientific Committee for Animal Nutrition has delivered a favourable opinion with regard to the safety and the favourable effects on animal productions of the coccidiostat preparation under the conditions set out in the Annex to this Regulation.

  4. The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Food Chain and Animal Health,
