SCOPE
The
purpose of the “Amino Acids Authorisation Consortium European Economic Interest
Grouping” (AMAC EEIG) is to
establish co-operation between interested parties in view of the authorisation of feed additives subject to this grouping,
as required by the EU legislation, particularly under the procedure provided by
Article 10 of Reg. (EC) No 1831/2003. It may also seek
non-holder-specific authorisation for additives not
previously authorised under the EU feed additive
legislation (non-holder-specific authorisation
procedure) if so decided by the Members.
The activities of the grouping aimed
at achieving this purpose are as follows:
- to
develop common understanding on the details of the information necessary for
achieving authorisation;
- to collect existing scientific
data and carry out scientific reviews;
- to commission and manage the
carrying out of new studies as required by the EU assessment procedures;
- to collect and gather industrial
data necessary to the achievement of the goal;
- to develop common authorization
dossiers (or part of);
- to submit application in name of
the grouping and act as a contact and negotiation interface with the EU
authorities in the course of the authorisation
process.
The
object of the grouping is limited to the group of additives classified in Category “3” (Nutritional
Additives) and Functional Group
“c” (amino acids, their salts and analogues), as defined under
Annex I of Reg. (EC) No 1831/2003, and in this group to a specific list of
specific additives upon which the grouping members have agreed to work in
common, and which will remain confidential to the members of the grouping until
the application to the authorities, or until decided otherwise by the members
of the grouping. The selection process to include additives in this list is
ruled by a contract on the basis of set criteria which are detailed in the
grouping’s code of internal rules. The grouping will not work on
additives that are not included in its working list.
Within
the limits fixed by the Regulation and the Belgian law as well as other
applicable competition legislation, not limited to the legislation of the
European Community, the grouping may also carry out all other activities
necessary or useful to its goal.
