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) | The use of eugenol and 1-methoxy-4-(prop-1(trans)-enyl)benzene as feed additives was authorised for certain animal species by Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2022/1452 (2) for a 10-year period. |

(1)

The use of eugenol and 1-methoxy-4-(prop-1(trans)-enyl)benzene as feed additives was authorised for certain animal species by Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2022/1452 (2) for a 10-year period.

| (2) | In the Annex to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2022/1452, the indication regarding the method of production for the two above-mentioned additives erroneously refers only to the production by chemical synthesis, while in the case of eugenol it should also refer to the extraction from cloves or cloves oil and in the case of 1-methoxy-4-(prop-1(trans)-enyl)benzene to the extraction from pine oil. |
