COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) No 900/2011

of 7 September 2011

concerning the authorisation of lasalocid A sodium as a feed additive for pheasants, guinea fowl, quails and partridges other than laying birds (holder of authorisation Alpharma (Belgium) BVBA)

(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. |
| --- | --- |

(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 lasalocid A sodium, CAS number 25999-20-6. The application was accompanied by the particulars and documents required pursuant to 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 lasalocid A sodium, CAS number 25999-20-6. The application was accompanied by the particulars and documents required pursuant to Article 7(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003.

| (3) | The application concerns the authorisation of lasalocid A sodium, CAS number 25999-20-6, as a feed additive for pheasants, guinea fowl, quails and partridges other than laying birds, to be classified in the additive category ‘coccidiostats and histomonostats’. |

(3)

The application concerns the authorisation of lasalocid A sodium, CAS number 25999-20-6, as a feed additive for pheasants, guinea fowl, quails and partridges other than laying birds, to be classified in the additive category ‘coccidiostats and histomonostats’.

| (4) | The use of that preparation was authorised for 10 years for chickens for fattening and for chickens reared for laying up to 16 weeks by Commission Regulation (EC) No 1455/2004 (2), and for turkeys up to 16 weeks by Commission Regulation (EU) No 874/2010 (3). |

(4)

The use of that preparation was authorised for 10 years for chickens for fattening and for chickens reared for laying up to 16 weeks by Commission Regulation (EC) No 1455/2004 (2), and for turkeys up to 16 weeks by Commission Regulation (EU) No 874/2010 (3).

| (5) | New data were submitted in support of the application for authorisation of lasalocid A sodium, CAS number 25999-20-6, for pheasants, guinea fowl, quails and partridges other than laying birds. The European Food Safety Authority (‘the Authority’) concluded in its opinion of 16 March 2011 (4) that, under the proposed conditions of use, lasalocid A sodium, CAS number 25999-20-6, does not have an adverse effect on animal health, human health or the environment and that it is efficacious to control coccidiosis in the target species. It considers that there is a need for specific requirements of a post-market monitoring program on the resistance to bacteria and Eimeria spp. It also verified 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. |

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