(Text with EEA relevance)  
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,  
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union , 
Having regard to  Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 of the European Parliament and of the 
Council of 22 September 2003 on additives for use in animal nutrition1, and in particular 
Article 10(5)  thereof,  
Whereas:  
(1) Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 provides for the authorisation of additives for use in 
animal nutrition and for the grounds and procedures for granting  such authorisation . In 
particular, Article 10(2) of that Regulation provides rules for the re -evaluation of  
additives authorised pursuant to Council Directive 70/524/EEC2. 
(2) Article 10(5) of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 imposes an obligation on the 
Commission to adopt a Regulation requiring the withdrawal from the market of feed 
additives for which no applicatio ns as required by Article 10(2) of Regulation (EC) No 
1831/2003 were submitted before the deadline provided for in that provision. 
Similarly, a Regulation should be adopted concerning feed additives for which an 
application was submitted but subsequently w ithdrawn.  
(3) Therefore, the feed additives as listed in the Annex should be withdrawn from the 
market.  
(4) In the case of feed additives for which applications have been submitted only for 
certain animal species or categories, or applications have been withdrawn  only for 
certain animal species or categories, the withdrawal from the market should only 
concern the animal species and categorie s for which no application has been submitted  
or for which the application has been withdrawn.  
(5) It is appropriate to allow for a transitional period within which existing stocks of the 
additives concerned, premixtures, compound feed and feed materials which have been 
produced with those additives may be used up  in respect of the animal species and 
categories for which the withdra wal from the market is required , in order to allow 
interested parties to adapt to the obligation to withdraw those products from the 
market.  
(6) The withdrawal from the market of the products listed in the Annex does not prevent 
them from being authorised or f rom being subject to a measure concerning their status 
in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003.
