THE EUR OPEAN COMMISSION,
Havi ng regar d to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Havi ng rega rd to Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 22 Sept ember 2003 on 
additives for use in animal nutr ition (1), and in particular Article 9(2) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 provid es for the author isation of additives for use in animal nutr ition and for the 
grounds and procedures for granting and renewing such author isation.
(2) Preparations of Lactiplantibacillus plantar um NCIMB 30083 (previously taxonomically identif ied as Lactobacillus 
plantar um NCIMB 30083) and Lactiplantibacillus plantar um NCIMB 30084 (previously taxonomically identif ied as 
Lactobacillus plantar um NCIMB 30084) were author ised for a period of 10 years as feed additives for all animal 
species by Commission Imple menting Regulation (EU) No 308/2013 (2).
(3) In accordance with Article 14(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003, applications were submitted for the renewal of 
the author isation of the preparations of Lactiplantibacillus plantar um NCIMB 30083 and Lactiplantibacillus plantar um 
NCIMB 30084 as feed additives for all animal species, requesting the additives to be classif ied in the additive 
catego ry ‘technological additives ’ and in the functional group ‘silage additives’. Those applications were 
accompan ied by the particulars and documents required under Article 14(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003.
(4) The European Food Safety Auth ority (‘the Author ity’) concluded in its opinions of 4 July 2023 (3)that the 
preparations of Lactiplantibacillus plantar um NCIMB 30083 and Lactiplantibacillus plantar um NCIMB 30084 remain 
safe for all animal species, the consumers and the environment under the conditions of use currently author ised. It 
also concluded that the additives should be considered as respirato ry sensitisers and that no conclusions could be 
drawn on the skin sensitisation, and skin and eye irritancy potential of the additives. It also indicate d that there is no 
need for assessing the efficacy of the additives as the applications for renewal of the author isation do not include a 
proposal for amending or supplementing the conditions of the original author isation that would have an impact on 
the efficacy of the additives.
(5) The Reference Laborator y set up by Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 considered that the conclusions and 
recommendations reac hed in the assessments carried out regar ding the method of analysis of the preparations of 
Lactiplantibacillus plantar um NCIMB 30083 and Lactiplantibacillus plantar um NCIMB 30084 as feed additives in the

Lactobacillus plantar um NCIMB 30083 and of a preparation of Lactobacillus plantar um NCIMB 30084 as feed additives for all animal 
species (OJ L 94, 4.4.2013, p. 1, ELI: http://data.europa.eu/eli/reg_impl/20 13/308/oj ).

Article 5(4), point (c) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 378/2005 (4), evaluation repor ts of the Reference 
Laboratory are theref ore not required.
(6) In view of the abov e, the Commission considers that the preparations of Lactiplantibacillus plantar um NCIMB 30083 
and Lactiplantibacillus plantar um NCIMB 30084 satisfy the conditions provided for in Article 5 of Regulation (EC) 
No 1831/2003. According ly, the author isation of those additives should be renewed. In addition, the Commission 
considers that appropr iate prot ective measures should be taken to prevent adverse effects on the health of the users 
of the additives. Those protective measures should be without prejudice to other worke rs’ safet y requirements under 
Union law.
(7) As a consequence of the renewal of the author isation of the preparations of Lactiplantibacillus plantar um NCIMB 
30083 and Lactiplantibacillus plantar um NCIMB 30084 as feed additives, Implementing Regulation (EU) 
No 308/2013 should be repealed.
(8) Since safet y reasons do not require the immediate application of the modifications to the conditions of author isation 
of preparations of Lactiplantibacillus plantar um NCIMB 30083 and Lactiplantibacillus plantar um NCIMB 30084, it is 
appropr iate to provide for a transitional period for inter ested parties to prepare themselves to meet the new 
requirements resulting from the renewal of the author isation.
(9) The measures provid ed for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committ ee on 
Plants, Animals, Food and Feed,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGUL ATION:
Article 1
