6. Description of content:  Ylang ylang oil was authorised without a time limit in accordanc e 
with Directive 70/524/EEC as a feed additive for all animal species. The additive was 
subsequently entered in the Register of feed additives as an existing product, 
in accordance with Article 10(1)(b) of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003. In accordance with 
Article 10(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 in conjunction with Article 7 thereof, 
an application was submitted for the re -evaluation of ylang ylang essential oil from the 
flowers of Cananga odorata  (Lam) Hook f. & Thomson for all animal species. The appl icant 
requested the additive to be classified in the additive category 'sensory additives' and in 
the functional group 'flavouring compounds'. That application was accompanied by the 
particulars and documents required under Article 7(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003. 
The applicant requested the additive to be authorised also for use in water for drinking. 
However, Regulation (EC)No 1831/2003 does not allow the authorisation of flavouring 
compounds for use in water for drinking. Therefore, the use of ylang  ylang essential oil 
from Cananga odorata  (Lam) Hook f. & Thomson in water for drinking should not be 
allowed.  The fact that ylang ylang essential oil from Cananga odorata  (Lam) Hook f. & 
Thomson is not authorised for use as a flavouring in water for drink ing, does not preclude 
its use in compound feed, which is administered via water. The substance specified in the 
Annex, belonging to the additive category 'sensory additives' and to the functional group 
'flavouring compounds', is authorised as a feed addit ive in animal nutrition, subject to the 
conditions laid down in that Annnex.
