Whereas:
(1) Directive 91/414/EEC was amended by Commission Directive 2008/127/EC(2) to include certain hydrolysed proteins.
(2) The rapporteur Member State has received additional information on hydrolysed proteins. It appears that hydrolysed proteins can be originated by many different organic compounds. It is therefore appropriate to refer to the common name and purity specifications, as set out in the review report on hydrolysed proteins.
(3) Directive 91/414/EEC should therefore be amended accordingly.
(4) The measures provided for in this Directive are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
