COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) 2018/247

of 15 February 2018

concerning the authorisation of 2,4,5-trimethylthiazole, 2-isobutylthiazole, 5-(2-hydroxyethyl)-4-methylthiazole, 2-acetylthiazole, 2-ethyl-4- methylthiazole, 5,6-dihydro-2,4,6,tris(2-methylpropyl)4H-1,3,5-dithiazine and thiamine hydrochloride as feed additives for all animal species

(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 substances 2,4,5-trimethylthiazole, 2-isobutylthiazole, 5-(2-hydroxyethyl)-4-methylthiazole, 2-acetylthiazole, 2-ethyl-4- methylthiazole, 5,6-dihydro-2,4,6,tris(2-methylpropyl)4H-1,3,5-dithiazine and thiamine hydrochloride (‘substances concerned’) were authorised without a time limit by 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. |
| --- | --- |

(2)

The substances 2,4,5-trimethylthiazole, 2-isobutylthiazole, 5-(2-hydroxyethyl)-4-methylthiazole, 2-acetylthiazole, 2-ethyl-4- methylthiazole, 5,6-dihydro-2,4,6,tris(2-methylpropyl)4H-1,3,5-dithiazine and thiamine hydrochloride (‘substances concerned’) were authorised without a time limit by 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 the substances concerned as feed additives for all animal species. The applicant requested that those additives be classified in the additive category ‘sensory 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 the substances concerned as feed additives for all animal species. The applicant requested that those additives be classified in the additive category ‘sensory 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 April 2016 (3) that, under the proposed conditions of use, the substances concerned do not have adverse effects on animal health, human health or the environment. The Authority has concluded that, since the substances concerned are used in food as flavourings and their function in feed is essentially the same as in food, no further demonstration of efficacy is necessary. Therefore, that conclusion can be extrapolated to feed. The applicant withdrew the application for use of the substances concerned in water for drinking. |

Therefore, that conclusion can be extrapolated to feed. The applicant withdrew the application for use of the substances concerned in water for drinking.

| (5) | The Authority further noted that for the substances concerned hazards for the skin, eye contact and respiratory exposure are recognised. Most substances are classified as irritating to the respiratory system. Consequently, appropriate protective measures should be taken. 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 additives in feed submitted by the Reference Laboratory set up by Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003. |

It also verified the report 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 concerned shows that the conditions for authorisation, as provided for in Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003, are satisfied. Accordingly, the use of those substances should be authorised as specified in the Annex to this Regulation. |

| (7) | The applicant proposed use levels for the substances concerned to the Authority. Having regard to that proposal, the Authority considered that certain use levels are safe (‘levels considered by the Authority’). For the purpose of official controls along the food chain, certain labelling requirements should be provided for. In particular, where the use levels exceed the levels considered by the Authority, it is appropriate to require that the label of premixtures, and the labelling of feed materials and compound feed containing the substances concerned include certain information including reference to the levels considered by the Authority. |
