COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) 2022/1421

of 22 August 2022

concerning the authorisation of expressed orange essential oil, distilled orange essential oil and folded orange oils from Citrus sinensis (L.) Osbeck 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 an authorisation. Article 10(2) 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 an authorisation. Article 10(2) of that Regulation provides for the re-evaluation of additives authorised pursuant to Council Directive 70/524/EEC (2).

| (2) | Expressed orange essential oil, distilled orange essential oil and folded orange oil were authorised without a time limit in accordance with Directive 70/524/EEC as feed additives for all animal species. These additives were subsequently entered in the Register of feed additives as existing products, in accordance with Article 10(1)(b) of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003. |
| --- | --- |

(2)

Expressed orange essential oil, distilled orange essential oil and folded orange oil were authorised without a time limit in accordance with Directive 70/524/EEC as feed additives for all animal species. These additives were subsequently entered in the Register 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 expressed orange essential oil, distilled orange essential oil and folded orange oils from Citrus sinensis (L.) Osbeck for all animal species. |
| --- | --- |

(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 expressed orange essential oil, distilled orange essential oil and folded orange oils from Citrus sinensis (L.) Osbeck for all animal species.

| (4) | The applicant requested the additives to be classified in the additive category ‘sensory additives’ and in the functional group ‘flavouring compounds’. That application was accompanied by the particulars and documents required under Article 7(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003. |
| --- | --- |

(4)

The applicant requested the additives to be classified in the additive category ‘sensory additives’ and in the functional group ‘flavouring compounds’. That application was accompanied by the particulars and documents required under Article 7(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003.

| (5) | The applicant requested those additives to be authorised also for use in water for drinking. However, Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 does not allow the authorisation of flavouring compounds for use in water for drinking. Therefore, the use of these additives in water for drinking should not be allowed. |
| --- | --- |

(5)

The applicant requested those additives to be authorised also for use in water for drinking. However, Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 does not allow the authorisation of flavouring compounds for use in water for drinking. Therefore, the use of these additives in water for drinking should not be allowed.

| (6) | The European Food Safety Authority (‘the Authority’) concluded in its opinion of 29 September 2021 (3) that, under the proposed conditions of use, expressed orange essential oil, distilled orange essential oil and folded orange oils from Citrus sinensis (L.) Osbeck do not have adverse effects on animal health, consumer health or the environment. However, no conclusions could be drawn for dogs, cats, ornamental fish and ornamental birds not normally exposed to citrus by-products. The Authority also concluded that expressed orange essential oil, distilled orange essential oil and folded orange oils from Citrus sinensis (L.) Osbeck should be considered as irritants to skin and eyes, and as skin and respiratory sensitisers. Therefore, the Commission considers that appropriate protective measures should be taken to prevent adverse effects on human health, in particular as regards the users of the additives. |

| (7) | The Authority also concluded, that expressed orange essential oil, distilled orange essential oil and folded orange oils from Citrus sinensis (L.) Osbeck are recognised to flavour food and their function in feed would be essentially the same as that in food, therefore, no further demonstration of efficacy is considered necessary. 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. |

| (8) | The assessment of expressed orange essential oil, distilled orange essential oil and folded orange oils from Citrus sinensis (L.) Osbeck shows that the conditions for authorisation, as provided for in Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003, are satisfied. Accordingly, the use of these substances should be authorised as specified in the Annex to this Regulation. |

The fact that the additives are not authorised for use as flavourings in water for drinking does not preclude their use in compound feed which is administered via water.

| (11) | Since safety reasons do not require the immediate application of the modifications to the conditions of authorisation of the substances concerned, it is appropriate to allow a transitional period for interested parties to prepare themselves to meet the new requirements resulting from the authorisation. |
