The application concerns the authorisation of the preparation of Bacillus subtilis DSM 17299 (O35) as a feed additive for chickens for fattening to be classified in the additive category ‘zootechnical additives’.

| (4) | The European Food Safety Authority (the Authority) concluded in its opinion of 17 October 2006 that the preparation of Bacillus subtilis DSM 17299 (O35) does not have an adverse effect on animal health, human health or the environment (2). It further concluded that that preparation does not present any other risk which would, in accordance with Article 5(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003, exclude authorisation. The opinion of the Authority recommends appropriate measures for user safety. It does not consider that there is a need for specific requirements of post market monitoring. This opinion also verifies the report on the method of analysis of the feed additive in feed submitted by the Community Reference Laboratory set up by Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003. |

concerning the authorisation of a new use of benzoic acid (VevoVitall) as a feed additive

(Text with EEA relevance)

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,

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.

| (2) | In accordance with Article 7 of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003, an application was submitted for the authorisation of the preparation set out in the Annex to this Regulation. That application was accompanied by the particulars and documents required under Article 7(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003. |
| --- | --- |

(2)

In accordance with Article 7 of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003, an application was submitted for the authorisation of the preparation set out in the Annex to this Regulation. That application was accompanied by the particulars and documents required under Article 7(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003.

| (3) | The application concerns the authorisation of a new use the preparation benzoic acid (VevoVitall) as a feed additive for pigs for fattening, to be classified in the additive category ‘zootechnical additives’. |
| --- | --- |

(3)

The application concerns the authorisation of a new use the preparation benzoic acid (VevoVitall) as a feed additive for pigs for fattening, to be classified in the additive category ‘zootechnical additives’.

| (4) | The use of the preparation of benzoic acid (VevoVitall) was authorised for weaned piglets by Commission Regulation (EC) No 1730/2006 (2). |
| --- | --- |

(4)

The use of the preparation of benzoic acid (VevoVitall) was authorised for weaned piglets by Commission Regulation (EC) No 1730/2006 (2).

| (5) | New data were submitted in support of an application for authorisation for pigs for fattening. The European Food Safety Authority (the Authority) concluded in its opinion of 7 March 2007 that benzoic acid (VevoVitall) does not have an adverse effect on animal health, human health or the environment (3). It further concluded that benzoic acid (VevoVitall) does not present any other risk which would, in accordance with Article 5(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003, exclude authorisation. According to that opinion, the use of that preparation does not have an adverse effect on this additional animal. The opinion of the Authority recommends appropriate measures for user safety. It does not consider that there is a need for specific requirements of post market monitoring. This opinion also verifies the report on the method of analysis of the feed additive in feed submitted by the Community Reference Laboratory set up by Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003. |

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,

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.

| (2) | In accordance with Article 7 of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003, an application was submitted for the authorisation of the preparation set out in the Annex to this Regulation. That application was accompanied by the particulars and documents required under Article 7(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003. |

That application was accompanied by the particulars and documents required under Article 7(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003.

| (3) | The application concerns the authorisation of the preparation of 3-phytase produced by Penicillium funiculosum (CBS 111 433) (ROVABIO PHY AP and ROVABIO PHY LC), as a feed additive for chickens for fattening, laying hens, piglets (weaned) and pigs for fattening to be classified in the additive category ‘zootechnical additives’. |

It further concluded that that preparation does not present any other risk which would, in accordance with Article 5(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003, exclude authorisation. The opinion of the Authority recommends appropriate measures for user safety. It does not consider that there is a need for specific requirements of post market monitoring. This opinion also verifies the report on the method of analysis of the feed additive submitted by the Community Reference Laboratory set up by Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003. |
