Ca-IDHA has been developed in response to requests from the horticultural sector to develop alternatives to existing sources of calcium, which may lead, under certain use conditions, to leaves damages after foliar applications.\n(2)\nCa-IDHA fulfils the requirements laid down in Article 14 of Regulation (EC) No 2003/2003. It should therefore be included in the list of types of EC fertilisers in Annex I to that Regulation.\n(3)\nRegulation (EC) No 2003/2003 should therefore be amended accordingly.\n(4)\nThe measure provided for in this Regulation is in accordance with the opinion of the Committee established by Article 32 of Regulation (EC) No 2003/2003,\nHAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:",
