approaches (CX/AF 01/4 and CL 2000/21-AF):
At its first Session, the ad hoc Intergovernmental Task Force on Animal Feeding concluded on a lack of clear definitions for additives, contaminants, by-products, wastes and other substances provisions that might be considered as prohibited or "undesirable" substances in feedingstuffs. Therefore, the Task Force agreed to request, by the means of the Circular Letter CL 2000/21-AF to Member countries, information on lists established to control the use of prohibited and undesirable substances in animal feedstuffs or other approaches. The Task Force will receive a summary of the findings issued from the open-ended meeting that is intended to be convened immediately before the second Session of the Task Force and report on comments received on this matter as well as on results of discussions outcoming from the Internet Conference that would start in January 2001. |

At its first session, held in Copenhagen in June 2000, the Task Force amended the Draft Code based on both comments received in response to the Circular Letter (CL 1999/28-AF) at Step 3 and a working paper proposed by the Chairman. The revised Draft Code has been returned to Step 3 and circulated in September 2000 through CL 2000/30-AF to governments and interested organisations. Comments have been collected in working paper(s) referenced as CX/AF 01/5(...) document(s). |
