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 such author isation. Article 10(2) of that Regulation provides for the re- 
evaluation of additives author ised pursuant to Council Directive 70/524/EEC (2). 
(2) The substances geraniol, citral, 3,7,11-tr imethyldodeca-2,6,10-tr ien-1-ol, (Z)-nerol, geranyl acetate , geran yl butyrate , 
geranyl formate, geran yl propionate , neryl propionat e, neryl formate, neryl acetate, neryl isobutyrate, geran yl 
isobutyrate and preny l acetate (‘the substances concer ned’) were author ised without a time limit by Directive 70/ 
524/EEC as feed additives for all animal species. Those additives substances were subsequently entered in the 
Registe r of feed additives as existing products, in accordance with Article 10(1)(b) 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 the substances concer ned as feed additives for all animal species. 
The applicant request ed those additives to be classified in the additive categor y ‘sensor y additives ’ and in the 
functional group ‘flavouri ng compo unds ’. The application was accompanied 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 25 May 2016 (3) that, under the 
proposed conditions of use the substances concer ned do not have adverse effects on animal health, human health 
or the envi ronment. The Author ity concluded that for the mar ine environment, the safe use level is estimated to be 
0,05 mg/kg feed. The levels of use proposed for the substances concer ned exceed s the safe level for the mar ine 
environment, theref ore, the use for mar ine animals is not author ised. The Authority also concluded in the opinion 
that, since the substances concer ned are efficacious when used as flavourings in food and their function in feed is 
essentially the same as in food, no further demonstration of efficacy was necessar y. Theref ore, that conclusion could 
be extrapolat ed to feed. Although the applicant withdrew the application for water for drinking, it should be possible 
to use the substances concer ned within compo und feeds whic h are subsequently administered via water . 
(5) The Author ity concluded that in the absence of data the substances concer ned should be considered hazardous for 
the skin, and eye contact and for respirato ry exposure. Geraniol, citral and 3,7,11-tr imethyldodeca-2,6,10-tri en-1- 
ol, are also repor ted to be skin sensitisers. Consequently , appropr iate protective measures should be taken. The 
Authority does not consider that there is a need for specific requirements of post-market monitori ng. It also verified 
the repor t on the method of analysis of the feed additives in feed submitted by the Reference Laboratory set up by 
Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003. 
(6) The assessment of the substances concer ned 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 the substances concer ned should be 
author ised as specif ied in the Annex to this Regulation.

EN Offi cial Jour nal of the European Union L 324/6                                                                                                                                           6.10.2020   (7) Restr ictions and conditions should be provided for to allow better control. Since safety reasons do not require the 
setting of a maximum cont ent and taking into account the re-evaluation performe d by the Author ity, a 
recommended cont ent should be indicated on the label of the feed additive. Where such conte nt is excee ded, certain 
information should be indicated on the label of premixtures. 
(8) Since safet y reasons do not require the immediate application of the modifications to the conditions of author isation 
of the substances concer ned, 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 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 
Author isation 
The substances specifi ed in the Annex, belonging to the additive cate gory ‘sensor y additives ’ and to the functional group

2. Feed mater ials and compound feed containing the substances specified in the Annex whic h are produced and labelled 
before 26 October 2021 in accordance with the rules applicable before 26 October 2020 may continue to be placed on the
