COMMISSION DELEGATED REGULATION (EU) 2021/716

of 9 February 2021

amending Annex II to Regulation (EU) 2018/848 of the European Parliament and of the Council as regards organic production rules on sprouted seeds and chicory heads, on feed for certain aquaculture animals and on aquaculture parasite treatments

(Text with EEA relevance)

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

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

Having regard to Regulation (EU) 2018/848 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 30 May 2018 on organic production and labelling of organic products and repealing Council Regulation (EC) No 834/2007 (1), and in particular Article 12(2)(a) and Article 15(2)(b) and (c) thereof,

Whereas:

| (1) | Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2020/427 (2) has recently amended point 1.3 of Part I of Annex II to Regulation (EU) 2018/848 with respect to organic sprouted seeds to ensure their production from organic seeds. Given that sprouted seeds include sprouts, shoots and cress (3), which can use exclusively the reserves in the seeds to sprout, only water should be used for organic production. Therefore, it needs to be clarified that the derogation from soil-related cultivation for sprouted seeds is limited to moistening seeds and it should be stated explicitly that the use of a growing medium is not allowed, except the use of an inert medium to keep the seeds moist when the components of that inert medium are authorised in compliance with Article 24 of Regulation (EU) 2018/848. |

| (2) | With respect to chicory heads, their specific production cycle can consist of two phases one in soil and one called ‘forcing phase’, which can be in soil, but also in water or substrates. Therefore, it is necessary to clarify that the derogation from soil related cultivation for chicory heads includes deepening in clear water and that the use of a growing medium is allowed only when its components are authorised in compliance with Article 24 of Regulation (EU) 2018/848. |

| (3) | Article 25l(3)(b) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 889/2008 (4) allowed organic cholesterol to be used to supplement natural feed in the grow-out stage and earlier life stages of penaeid shrimps and freshwater prawns (Macrobrachium spp.). It is therefore necessary to provide for the supplementation of feed with organic cholesterol to those shrimps and prawns in point 3.1.3.4 of Part III of Annex II to Regulation (EU) 2018/848. |

It is therefore necessary to provide for the supplementation of feed with organic cholesterol to those shrimps and prawns in point 3.1.3.4 of Part III of Annex II to Regulation (EU) 2018/848.

| (4) | In 2019, when discussing the draft of Delegated Regulation (EU) 2020/427, some Member States requested the revision of other rules relating to organic aquaculture. The expert group for technical advice on organic production (EGTOP) set up by Commission Decision 2017/C 287/03 (5) assessed those requests. Taking into account the EGTOP’s conclusions published (6)in January 2020, the Commission has identified a need to update the existing production rules for aquaculture animals in particular with respect to veterinary treatments. |

| (5) | Notwithstanding the requirements related to the prevention of diseases, such as the recommendation for biological control of parasites with preference to be given to the use of cleaner fish and of freshwater, marine water and sodium chloride solutions, a limited number of treatments, in case of severe parasites occurrence, is currently allowed on a general basis for all species. Based on the abovementioned EGTOP conclusions, it is appropriate to amend the current provisions on parasite treatments set out in point 3.1.4.2 of Part III of Annex II to Regulation (EU) 2018/848 by introducing a more species-specific approach to better address the needs of aquaculture animals without compromising the organic nature of the production. |

| (6) | In particular, in view of the variable duration of the production cycle of species, other than salmon, and of the potential occurrence of parasites in the juvenile phase, together with the tendency of operators to postpone as far as possible any courses of treatment due to the frequency limit, in the first year of the life cycle, a high mortality rate of fry and juveniles has been reported. Therefore, for other species than salmon, it is appropriate to align the frequency and maximum number of parasite treatments with the frequency limits set for other chemically synthesised allopathic veterinary medicinal products to permit to intervene when it is really necessary and to avoid high mortality in the first stages of the life cycle. |

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. |
| --- | --- |

(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.

In accordance with Article 7 of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003, an application was submitted for the authorisation of L-valine. The application was accompanied by the particulars and documents required under Article 7(3) of that Regulation.

| (3) | The application concerns the authorisation of L-valine produced by Corynebacterium glutamicum CGMCC 7.358 as a feed additive for all animal species, to be classified in the additive category ‘nutritional additives’, functional group ‘amino acids, their salts and analogues’. |
| --- | --- |

(3)

The application concerns the authorisation of L-valine produced by Corynebacterium glutamicum CGMCC 7.358 as a feed additive for all animal species, to be classified in the additive category ‘nutritional additives’, functional group ‘amino acids, their salts and analogues’.

| (4) | The European Food Safety Authority (‘the Authority’) concluded in its opinion of 30 September 2020 (2) that, under the proposed conditions of use, L-valine produced by Corynebacterium glutamicum CGMCC 7.358, when supplemented to diets in appropriate amounts, does not have an adverse effect on animal health, consumer health or the environment. With respect to the safety of the user of L-valine produced by Corynebacterium glutamicum CGMCC 7.358, the Authority could neither exclude a risk by inhalation, nor that the substance it is irritant to skin or eyes, or a dermal sensitiser. Therefore, appropriate protective measures should be taken for this additive to prevent adverse effects on human health, in particular as regards the users of the additive. Furthermore, the Authority concluded that the substance is considered an efficacious source of the essential amino acid L-valine for animal nutrition and that, in order to be efficacious in ruminants, it should be protected against degradation in the rumen. The Authority does not consider that there is a need for specific requirements of post-market monitoring. It also verified the reports on the method of analysis of the feed additive in feed submitted by the Reference Laboratory set up by Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003. |
