These Regulations implement Commission Directive 2003/7/EC amending the conditions for authorisation of canthaxanthin in feedingstuffs in accordance with Council Directive 70/524/EEC. These Regulations modify the controls in the Feeding Stuffs (Wales) Regulations 2001 regulating the presence of additives in feedingstuffs by specifying new maximum levels in feed for the colourant canthaxanthin (reg. 2(2) and the Schedule). They also provide for the enforcement of Commission Regulation (EC) No.871/2003 permanently authorising a new additive manganomanganic oxide in feedingstuffs and Commission Regulation (EC) No. 877/2003 provisionally authorising the use of the acidity regulator "Benzoic acid" in feedingstuffs (reg. 2(3)). These Regulations also make consequential amendments to regulations 7(1) and 25(1) of the Feeding Stuffs (Wales) Regulations 2001 (reg. 3) and consequential amendments to the Feeding Stuffs (Sampling and Analysis) Regulations 1999 and the Feeding Stuffs (Enforcement) Regulations 1999 (regs. 4 to 11).
