Regulation concerning the authorisation for ten years of the additive “Deccox®” in feedingstuffs, belonging to the group of co ccidiostats and other medicinal substances 
(5 pages, available in all E.U. languages). 
6. Description of content:   The proposal provides for the authorisation of a coccidiostat 
(Decoquinate) linked to the person responsible to  put onto market and for the withdrawal of 
the authorisation of the copies of the same additive. 
7. Objective and rationale, including the na ture of urgent problems where applicable:  
The Article 9g of the Directive (EEC) No 70/524 foresees that the coccidiostats listed in the 
Annex I of that Directive have to be re-evalu ated and if this evaluation is favourable, they 
have to be linked to the person responsible to put them into ma rket.  After that, the generic 
products, based on the same active substance, shall be withdrawn from the market.  The 
linkage with the person responsible for placi ng on the market assures the traceability of 
highly complex active principles.
