concer ning the author isation of alpha-ter pineol, nerolidol, 2-(4-meth ylphenyl) propan-2-ol, 
terpineol and linalyl acet ate as feed additiv es for all animal species 
(Text with EEA relevance) 
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 9(2) 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. Article 10 of that Regulation provides for the re- 
evaluation of additives author ised pursuant to Council Directive 70/524/EEC (2). 
(2)  Alpha-t erpineol, nerolidol, 2-(4-meth ylphenyl) propan-2-ol, terpine ol and linalyl acetate were author ised without 
a time limit in accordance with Directive 70/524/EEC as feed additives for all animal species. Those products 
were subsequently entered in the Register of feed additives as existing products, in accordance with Article 10(1) 
of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003. 
(3)  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 alpha-terp ineol, nerolidol, 2-(4-methylphen yl) propan-2-ol, 
terpineol and linalyl acetat e as feed additives for all animal species. The applicant requested those additives to be 
classified in the additive catego ry ‘sensor y additives ’. That application was accompan ied by the particulars and 
documents required under Article 7(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003. 
(4)  The European Food Safety Auth ority (‘the Author ity’) concluded in its opinion of 13 November 2012 (3) that, 
under the proposed conditions of use in feed of alpha-t erpineol, nerolidol, 2-(4-meth ylphenyl) propan-2-ol, 
terpineol and linalyl acetat e do not have adverse effects on animal health, human health or the environment. The 
Author ity further concluded that the function of alpha-terp ineol, nerolidol, 2-(4-meth ylphenyl) propan-2-ol, 
terpineol and linalyl acetate in feed is similar to that on food. The Author ity has already concluded that for food 
alpha-te rpineol, nerolidol, 2-(4-meth ylphenyl) propan-2-ol, terpi neol and linalyl acetate are efficacious, as it 
increases the food smell or palatability . The Author ity concluded that for nerolidol and 2-(4-meth ylphenyl) 
propan-2-ol the absence of margin of safety would not allow simultaneous administration in feed and wate r. For 
alpha-te rpineol, terpine ol and linalyl acetate the exact ratio for the inclusion in feed and water is not available. 
However , those substances can be used within a compo und feed subsequently administ ered via wate r. 
(5)  Restr ictions and conditions should be provided for to allow better control. For practical reasons and taking into 
account the re-evaluation performe d by the Author ity, maximum recommended cont ents should be set up. 
Where the recommended conte nt of the additive in compl ete feedingstuff is exceed ed, the identif ication number 
of the feed additive, its name and added amount should be indicated on the label of premixtures, compo und 
feeds and feed mater ials. 
(6)  The Author ity concluded that in the absence of data on user safet y alpha-terp ineol, nerolidol, 2-(4-meth ylphenyl) 
propan-2-ol, terpineol and linalyl acetat e should be considered as irritant to skin, eyes and respirator y tract and 
as a skin sensitizer . Consequently , appropr iate protective measures should be take n. The Author ity does not 
consider that there is a need for specifi c requirements of post-market monitori ng. It also verified the repor t on 
the method of analysis of the feed additives in feed submitte d by the Reference Laborator y set up by Regulation 
(EC) No 1831/2003. 17.1.2017 L 13/159 Official Jour nal of the European Union EN     
(1)OJ L 268, 18.10.2003, p. 29. 
(2)Council Directive 70/524/EEC of 23 November 1970 concer ning additives in feed ingstuffs (OJ L 270, 14.12.1970, p. 1). 
(3)EFSA Jour nal 2012;10(11):2966. (7)  The assessment of alpha-terp ineol, nerolidol, 2-(4-methylphen yl) propan-2-ol, terpine ol and linalyl acetate shows 
that the conditions for author isation, as provided for in Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003, are satisfi ed. 
According ly, the use of those substances should be author ised as specifi ed in the Annex to this Regulation. 
(8) Since safety reasons do not require the immediate application of the modifi cations to the conditions of author is­
ation for alpha-terp ineol, nerolidol, 2-(4-methylphen yl) propan-2-ol, terpineol and linalyl acetat e it is appropr iate 
to allow a transitional period for interest ed parties to prepare themselves to meet the new requirements resulting 
from the author isation. 
(9)  The measures provided 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 
Author isation 
The substances specifi ed in the Annex, belonging to the additive catego ry ‘sensor y additives ’ and to the functional group 
‘flavouri ng compounds’, are author ised as feed additives in animal nutr ition subject to the conditions laid down in that 
Annex. 
Article 2 
Transitional measures 
1. The substances as specified in the Annex and premixtures containing those substances, which are produced and

2. Com pound feed and feed mater ials containing the substances as specif ied in the Annex which are produced and

3. Com pound feed and feed mater ials containing the substances as specif ied in the Annex which are produced and 
labelled before 6 Febr uary 2019 in accordance with the rules applicable before 6 Febr uary 2017 may continue to be
