COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) 2017/58

of 14 December 2016

concerning the authorisation of alpha-terpineol, nerolidol, 2-(4-methylphenyl) propan-2-ol, terpineol and linalyl acetate 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 authorisation. Article 10 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 authorisation. Article 10 of that Regulation provides for the re-evaluation of additives authorised pursuant to Council Directive 70/524/EEC (2).

| (2) | Alpha-terpineol, nerolidol, 2-(4-methylphenyl) propan-2-ol, terpineol and linalyl acetate were authorised without a time limit in accordance with Directive 70/524/EEC as feed additives for all animal species. Those products were subsequently entered in the Register of feed additives as existing products, in accordance with Article 10(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003. |
| --- | --- |

(2)

Alpha-terpineol, nerolidol, 2-(4-methylphenyl) propan-2-ol, terpineol and linalyl acetate were authorised without a time limit in accordance with Directive 70/524/EEC as feed additives for all animal species. Those products were subsequently entered in the Register of feed additives as existing products, in accordance with Article 10(1) 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 alpha-terpineol, nerolidol, 2-(4-methylphenyl) propan-2-ol, terpineol and linalyl acetate as feed additives for all animal species. The applicant requested those additives to be classified in the additive category ‘sensory additives’. That application was accompanied by the particulars and documents required under Article 7(3) 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 alpha-terpineol, nerolidol, 2-(4-methylphenyl) propan-2-ol, terpineol and linalyl acetate as feed additives for all animal species. The applicant requested those additives to be classified in the additive category ‘sensory additives’. That application was accompanied by the particulars and documents required under Article 7(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003.

| (4) | The European Food Safety Authority (‘the Authority’) concluded in its opinion of 13 November 2012 (3) that, under the proposed conditions of use in feed of alpha-terpineol, nerolidol, 2-(4-methylphenyl) propan-2-ol, terpineol and linalyl acetate do not have adverse effects on animal health, human health or the environment. The Authority further concluded that the function of alpha-terpineol, nerolidol, 2-(4-methylphenyl) propan-2-ol, terpineol and linalyl acetate in feed is similar to that on food. The Authority has already concluded that for food alpha-terpineol, nerolidol, 2-(4-methylphenyl) propan-2-ol, terpineol and linalyl acetate are efficacious, as it increases the food smell or palatability. The Authority concluded that for nerolidol and 2-(4-methylphenyl) propan-2-ol the absence of margin of safety would not allow simultaneous administration in feed and water. For alpha-terpineol, terpineol and linalyl acetate the exact ratio for the inclusion in feed and water is not available. However, those substances can be used within a compound feed subsequently administered via water. |

However, those substances can be used within a compound feed subsequently administered via water.

| (5) | Restrictions and conditions should be provided for to allow better control. For practical reasons and taking into account the re-evaluation performed by the Authority, maximum recommended contents should be set up. Where the recommended content of the additive in complete feedingstuff is exceeded, the identification number of the feed additive, its name and added amount should be indicated on the label of premixtures, compound feeds and feed materials. |

Where the recommended content of the additive in complete feedingstuff is exceeded, the identification number of the feed additive, its name and added amount should be indicated on the label of premixtures, compound feeds and feed materials.

| (6) | The Authority concluded that in the absence of data on user safety alpha-terpineol, nerolidol, 2-(4-methylphenyl) propan-2-ol, terpineol and linalyl acetate should be considered as irritant to skin, eyes and respiratory tract and as a skin sensitizer. Consequently, appropriate protective measures should be taken. The Authority does not consider that there is a need for specific requirements of post-market monitoring. It also verified the report on the method of analysis of the feed additives in feed submitted by the Reference Laboratory set up by Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003. |

| (7) | The assessment of alpha-terpineol, nerolidol, 2-(4-methylphenyl) propan-2-ol, terpineol and linalyl acetate shows that the conditions for authorisation, as provided for in Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003, are satisfied. Accordingly, the use of those substances should be authorised as specified in the Annex to this Regulation. |

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

| (8) | Since safety reasons do not require the immediate application of the modifications to the conditions of authorisation for alpha-terpineol, nerolidol, 2-(4-methylphenyl) propan-2-ol, terpineol and linalyl acetate it is appropriate to allow a transitional period for interested parties to prepare themselves to meet the new requirements resulting from the authorisation. |
