Council Directive 96/22/EC of 29 April 1996 concerning the prohibition on the use in stockfarming of certain substances having a hormonal or thyrostatic action and of ß-agonists, and repealing Directives 81/602/EEC, 88/146/EEC and 88/299/EEC. (OJ L 125, 23.5.1996, p. 3- 9) prohibits the use of oestradiol 17  and its ester like derivatives to include therapeutic and zootechnical use in farm animals as well as other five hormones (testosterone, progesterone, trembolone acetate, zeranol and melengestrol acetate) for growth promotion purposes in farm animals, on a provisional basis. The latest modification of this Directive was notified in Document G/SPS/N/EEC/102/Rev.1/Add.1 (dated 23 October 2003).
