concerning the authorisation of a preparation of potassium diformate as a feed additive for all animal species and amending Regulation (EC) No 492/2006

(Text with EEA relevance)

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,

Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 22 September 2003 on additives for use in animal nutrition (1), and in particular Article 9(2) thereof,

Whereas:

| (1) | Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 provides for the authorisation of additives for use in animal nutrition and for the grounds and procedures for granting such authorisation. Article 10 of that Regulation provides for the re-evaluation of additives authorised pursuant to Council Directive 70/524/EEC (2). |
| --- | --- |

(1)

Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 provides for the authorisation of additives for use in animal nutrition and for the grounds and procedures for granting such authorisation. Article 10 of that Regulation provides for the re-evaluation of additives authorised pursuant to Council Directive 70/524/EEC (2).

| (2) | Potassium diformate, CAS number 20642-05-1, was authorised without a time limit in accordance with Directive 70/524/EEC as a feed additive for use on all animal species by Commission Regulation (EC) No 492/2006 (3). That additive was subsequently entered in the Community Register of feed additives as an existing product, in accordance with Article 10(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003. |
| --- | --- |

(2)

Potassium diformate, CAS number 20642-05-1, was authorised without a time limit in accordance with Directive 70/524/EEC as a feed additive for use on all animal species by Commission Regulation (EC) No 492/2006 (3). That additive was subsequently entered in the Community Register of feed additives as an existing product, 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 potassium diformate as a feed additive for all animal species, requesting that additive to be classified in the additive category ‘technological additives’. That application was accompanied by the particulars and documents required under Article 7(3) 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 potassium diformate as a feed additive for all animal species, requesting that additive to be classified in the additive category ‘technological additives’. That application was accompanied by the particulars and documents required under Article 7(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003.

| (4) | The European Food Safety Authority (‘the Authority’) concluded in its opinion of 13 December 2011 (4) that, under the proposed conditions of use, potassium diformate does not have an adverse effect on animal health, consumer health or the environment, and that it is effective in increasing the storage time of raw fish and fish by-products. It concluded that no safety concerns would arise for users provided that appropriate protective measures are taken. It also verified the report on the method of analysis of the feed additive in feed submitted by the Reference Laboratory set up by Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003. |

COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) No 334/2012

of 19 April 2012

concerning the authorisation of a preparation of Saccharomyces cerevisiae CNCM I-4407 as a feed additive for rabbits for fattening and non food-producing rabbits and amending Regulation (EC) No 600/2005 (holder of the authorisation Société Industrielle Lesaffre)

(Text with EEA relevance)

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,

Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 22 September 2003 on additives for use in animal nutrition (1), and in particular Article 9(2) thereof,

Whereas:

| (1) | Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 provides for the authorisation of additives for use in animal nutrition and for the grounds and procedures for granting such authorisation. Article 10 of that Regulation provides for the re-evaluation of additives authorised pursuant to Council Directive 70/524/EEC (2). |
| --- | --- |

(1)

Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 provides for the authorisation of additives for use in animal nutrition and for the grounds and procedures for granting such authorisation. Article 10 of that Regulation provides for the re-evaluation of additives authorised pursuant to Council Directive 70/524/EEC (2).

| (2) | The preparation of Saccharomyces cerevisiae NCYC Sc47 was authorised without a time limit in accordance with Directive 70/524/EEC as a feed additive for use on rabbits for fattening by Commission Regulation (EC) No 600/2005 (3). That preparation was subsequently entered in the Community Register of feed additives as an existing product, in accordance with Article 10(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003. |

(2)

The preparation of Saccharomyces cerevisiae NCYC Sc47 was authorised without a time limit in accordance with Directive 70/524/EEC as a feed additive for use on rabbits for fattening by Commission Regulation (EC) No 600/2005 (3). That preparation was subsequently entered in the Community Register of feed additives as an existing product, 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 of that Regulation, an application was submitted for the re-evaluation of Saccharomyces cerevisiae CNCM I-4407, formerly NCYC Sc47, as a feed additive for rabbits for fattening and, in accordance with Article 7 of that Regulation, for a new use for non food-producing rabbits, requesting that additive to be classified in the additive category ‘zootechnical additives’. That application was accompanied by the particulars and documents required under Article 7(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003. |
| --- | --- |

(3)

In accordance with Article 10(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 in conjunction with Article 7 of that Regulation, an application was submitted for the re-evaluation of Saccharomyces cerevisiae CNCM I-4407, formerly NCYC Sc47, as a feed additive for rabbits for fattening and, in accordance with Article 7 of that Regulation, for a new use for non food-producing rabbits, requesting that additive to be classified in the additive category ‘zootechnical additives’. That application was accompanied by the particulars and documents required under Article 7(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003.

| (4) | The European Food Safety Authority (‘the Authority’) concluded in its opinion of 13 December 2011 (4) that, under the proposed conditions of use, Saccharomyces cerevisiae CNCM I-4407 does not have an adverse effect on animal health, consumer health or the environment, and that it has a potential to reduce mortality in rabbits for fattening. The Authority does not consider that there is a need for specific requirements of post-market monitoring. It also verified the report on the method of analysis of the feed additive in feed submitted by the Reference Laboratory set up by Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003. |
