amending Regulation (EC) No 271/2009 as regards the minimum content of the preparation of 
endo-1,4-bet a-xylanase produced by Aspergillus niger (CBS 109.713) and endo-1,4-bet a-glucanase

THE EUR OPEAN COMMISSION, 
Having regar d to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, 
Having regar d to Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 22 September 2003 
on additives for use in animal nutr ition (1), and in particular Article 13(3) thereof, 
Whereas: 
(1)  Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 provides for the author isation of additives for use in animal nutr ition and for the 
grounds and procedures for granting such author isation. 
(2)  The use of the preparation of endo-1,4-beta-xylanase produced by Aspergillus niger (CBS 109.713) and endo-1,4- 
beta-g lucanase produced by Aspergillus niger (DSM 18404) was author ised for 10 years for weaned piglets, 
chick ens for fattening, laying hens, turke ys for fattening and ducks for fattening by Commission Regulation (EC) 
No 271/2009 (2), for chick ens reared for laying, turke ys for breeding purposes, turk eys reared for breeding, 
other minor avian species (other than ducks for fattening) and ornamental birds by Commission Implementing 
Regulation (EU) No 1068/2011 (3) and for pigs for fattening by Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 
No 1404/2013 (4). 
(3)  In accordance with Article 13(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003, the holder of the author isation has proposed 
changing the term s of the author isation of that preparation by reducing its minimum conte nt from 560 TXU/kg 
to 280 TXU/kg and from 250 TGU/kg to 125 TGU/kg of the compl ete feedingstuff as regards the use on laying 
hens. The application was accompan ied by the relevant suppor ting data. The Commission forwarded that applica ­
tion to the European Food Safe ty Author ity (hereinaf ter ‘the Author ity’). 
(4)  The Auth ority concluded in its opinion of 20 May 2014 (5) that, under the new proposed conditions of use, the 
preparation of endo-1,4-beta-xylanase produced by Aspergillus niger (CBS 109.713) and endo-1,4-beta-g lucanase 
produced by Aspergillus niger (DSM 18404) has the potential to be efficacious at the request ed minimum doses of 
280 TXU/kg and 125 TGU/kg of complet e feedingstuff on laying hens. The Author ity does not consider that 
there is a need for specif ic requirements of post-market monitoring. It also verified the repor t on the method 
of analysis of the feed additive in feed submitted by the Reference Laboratory set up by Regulation (EC) 
No 1831/2003. 
(5)  The assessment of the preparation of endo-1,4-beta-xylanase produced by Aspergillus niger (CBS 109.713) and 
endo-1,4-beta-g lucanase produced by Aspergillus niger (DSM 18404) shows that the conditions for author isation, 
as provided for in Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 are satisfied. 11.10.2014 L 295/49 Official Jour nal of the European Union EN
