SCOPE
The
purpose of the “Vitamin Authorisation Consortium European Economic Interest
Grouping” (VITAC 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
“a” (vitamins, pro-vitamins and chemically well-defined substances
having similar effect), 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.
