COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) 2015/1489

of 3 September 2015

concerning the authorisation of the preparation of Lactobacillus plantarum NCIMB 30238 and Pediococcus pentosaceus NCIMB 30237 as a feed additive 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(7) of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 in conjunction with Article 10(1) to (4) thereof sets out specific provisions for the evaluation of products used in the Union as silage additives. |
| --- | --- |

(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(7) of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 in conjunction with Article 10(1) to (4) thereof sets out specific provisions for the evaluation of products used in the Union as silage additives.

| (2) | In accordance with Article 10(1)(b) of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003, the preparations of Lactobacillus plantarum MBS-LP-01 (NCIMB 30238) and of Pediococcus pentosaceus MBS-PP-01 (NCIMB 30237) were entered in the Register of Feed Additives as existing products belonging to the functional group of silage additives, for all animal species. |
| --- | --- |

(2)

In accordance with Article 10(1)(b) of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003, the preparations of Lactobacillus plantarum MBS-LP-01 (NCIMB 30238) and of Pediococcus pentosaceus MBS-PP-01 (NCIMB 30237) were entered in the Register of Feed Additives as existing products belonging to the functional group of silage additives, for all animal species.

| (3) | In accordance with Article 10(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 in conjunction with Article 7 thereof, two applications were submitted for the authorisation of the preparations as feed additives for all animal species, requesting the additives to be classified in the category ‘technological additives’ and in the functional group ‘silage additives’. These applications were 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, two applications were submitted for the authorisation of the preparations as feed additives for all animal species, requesting the additives to be classified in the category ‘technological additives’ and in the functional group ‘silage additives’. These applications were 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 opinions of 23 May 2012 (2), and 11 September 2014 (3) that, under the proposed conditions of use, the preparations concerned do not have an adverse effect on animal health, human health or the environment. The Authority also concluded that the mixture of the preparations of Pediococcus pentosaceus NCIMB 30237 and Lactobacillus plantarum NCIMB 30238, when used in a ratio of 8:2, has the potential to improve the preservation of nutrients in silage prepared from easy, moderately difficult and difficult to ensile material. The Authority does not consider that there is a need for specific requirements of post-market monitoring. It also verified the report on the methods of analysis of the feed additive in feed submitted by the Reference Laboratory set up by Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003. |

It also verified the report on the methods of analysis of the feed additive in feed submitted by the Reference Laboratory set up by Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003.

| (5) | Two applications were evaluated separately for safety and efficacy, but the Authority concluded that the efficacy was only demonstrated by the mixture in well precise ratio of both. Therefore it is proposed to authorise only one preparation. The assessment of the preparation of Lactobacillus plantarum NCIMB 30238 and Pediococcus pentosaceus NCIMB 30237 shows that the conditions for authorisation, as provided for in Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003, are satisfied. Accordingly, the use of this preparation should be authorised as specified in the Annex to this Regulation. |

Accordingly, the use of this preparation should be authorised as specified in the Annex to this Regulation.

| (6) | Since safety reasons do not require the immediate application of the modifications to the conditions of authorisation, it is appropriate to allow a transitional period for interested parties to prepare themselves to meet the new requirements resulting from the authorisation. |
