6. Description of content:  In accordance with Article 7 of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003, 
an application was submitted for the authorisation of L -valine produced by Escherichia coli  
CCTCC M2020321 as a feed additive for all animal species. The application concerns the 
authorisation of L -valine produced by Escherichia coli  CCTCC M2020321 as a feed  additive 
for all animal species, to be classified in the additive category 'nutritional additives', 
functional group 'amino acids, their salts and analogues'. in view of the Authority's opinion, 
the Commission therefore considers that appropriate protecti ve measures should be taken 
to prevent adverse effects on human health, in particular as regards the users of the 
additive. The assessment of L -valine produced by Escherichia coli  CCTCC M2020321 shows 
that the conditions for authorisation set out in Articl e 5 of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003, 
are fulfilled.
