Article 10 of that Regulation provides for the re-evaluation of additives authorised pursuant to Council Directive 70/524/EEC.\n(2)\nThe feed additives cobaltous chloride hexahydrate, cobaltous nitrate hexahydrate and cobaltous sulphate monohydrate were authorised without a time limit by Directive 70/524/EEC as compounds of the trace element Cobalt and the conditions for their authorisation were last set out in Commission Regulation (EC) No 1334/2003. Those feed additives were subsequently entered in the Community Register of Feed Additives as existing products, in accordance with Article 10(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003.\n(3)\nNo applications for authorisation in accordance with Article 10(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 were submitted before the deadline provided for in that provision for the use of those feed additives belonging to the group of trace elements.\n(4)\nThose feed additives should therefore be withdrawn from the market.\n(5)\nAs a consequence of the withdrawal of those feed additives, it is necessary to delete them from the ‘E3 Cobalt-Co’ entry of the Annex to Regulation (EC) No 1334/2003. Regulation (EC) No 1334/2003 should therefore be amended accordingly.\n(6)\nIt is appropriate to allow a transitional period for interested parties within which existing stocks of the additives to be withdrawn from the market, premixtures, compound feed and feed materials which have been produced with those additives may be used up.\n(7)\nThe withdrawal from the market of the three products is without prejudice to the granting of an authorisation concerning them or to the adoption of a measure concerning their status in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003.\n(8)\nThe measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,\nHAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:",
