COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) 2017/949

of 2 June 2017

laying down rules for the application of Regulation (EC) No 1760/2000 of the European Parliament and of the Council with regard to the configuration of the identification code for bovine animals and amending Commission Regulation (EC) No 911/2004

(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 1760/2000 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 17 July 2000 establishing a system for the identification and registration of bovine animals and regarding the labelling of beef and beef products and repealing Council Regulation (EC) No 820/97 (1) and in particular Article 4(3)(c) thereof,

Whereas:

| (1) | Regulation (EC) No 1760/2000 lays down rules concerning the identification and registration of bovine animals. In order to permit movements of bovine animals to be traced, that Regulation provides that all animals are to be identified by at least two means of identification listed in Annex I thereto, bearing the same unique identification code. The means of identification listed in that Annex include a conventional ear tag and an electronic identifier in the form of an electronic ear tag or a ruminal bolus or an injectable transponder. |
| --- | --- |

(1)

Regulation (EC) No 1760/2000 lays down rules concerning the identification and registration of bovine animals. In order to permit movements of bovine animals to be traced, that Regulation provides that all animals are to be identified by at least two means of identification listed in Annex I thereto, bearing the same unique identification code. The means of identification listed in that Annex include a conventional ear tag and an electronic identifier in the form of an electronic ear tag or a ruminal bolus or an injectable transponder.

| (2) | Regulation (EC) No 1760/2000, as amended by Regulation (EU) No 653/2014 (2), provides for the rules concerning the configuration of the identification code to be laid down by implementing acts. |
| --- | --- |

(2)

Regulation (EC) No 1760/2000, as amended by Regulation (EU) No 653/2014 (2), provides for the rules concerning the configuration of the identification code to be laid down by implementing acts.

| (3) | The most appropriate configuration of the identification code for bovine animals, to be consistent with the standards set by the International Organisation for Standardisation (ISO) for the identification of animals, is either the two-letter alpha country code or the three-digit numeric country code and an individual code for the animal consisting of a maximum 12 digits. |
| --- | --- |

(3)

The most appropriate configuration of the identification code for bovine animals, to be consistent with the standards set by the International Organisation for Standardisation (ISO) for the identification of animals, is either the two-letter alpha country code or the three-digit numeric country code and an individual code for the animal consisting of a maximum 12 digits.

| (4) | In addition, the configuration of the identification code to be laid down in this Regulation should ensure the functioning of the single market not only for bovine animals but also for ovine and caprine animals, where such configuration of the identification code is required in accordance with Council Regulation (EC) No 21/2004 (3), regardless of the means of identification introduced in the different Member States. |
| --- | --- |

(4)

In addition, the configuration of the identification code to be laid down in this Regulation should ensure the functioning of the single market not only for bovine animals but also for ovine and caprine animals, where such configuration of the identification code is required in accordance with Council Regulation (EC) No 21/2004 (3), regardless of the means of identification introduced in the different Member States.

| (5) | Commission Regulation (EC) No 911/2004 (4) sets out the codified form used to identify the Member State of origin together with information on the individual animal to be applied on visible ear tags. This codified form of identification is the two-letter alpha country code, together with an individual animal code consisting of a maximum of 12 digits. |
| --- | --- |

(5)

Commission Regulation (EC) No 911/2004 (4) sets out the codified form used to identify the Member State of origin together with information on the individual animal to be applied on visible ear tags. This codified form of identification is the two-letter alpha country code, together with an individual animal code consisting of a maximum of 12 digits.

| (6) | The configuration of the identification code for bovine animals should be applicable for both conventional ear tags and electronic identifiers and such codes should be interoperable, electronically exchangeable and readable in all Member States. Accordingly, Regulation (EC) No 911/2004 should be amended to refer to the identification code to be laid down in this Regulation. |

COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) 2017/950

of 2 June 2017

amending Implementing Regulation (EU) No 1068/2011 as regards the minimum content of the preparation of endo-1,4-beta-xylanase produced by Aspergillus niger (CBS 109.713) and endo-1,4-beta-glucanase produced by Aspergillus niger (DSM 18404) as a feed additive for chickens reared for laying and all avian species for laying (holder of authorisation BASF SE)

(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 13(3) 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) | The use of the preparation of endo-1,4-beta-xylanase produced by Aspergillus niger (CBS 109.713) and endo-1,4-beta-glucanase produced by Aspergillus niger (DSM 18404) was authorised for 10 years for chickens reared for laying, turkeys for breeding purposes, turkeys reared for breeding, other minor avian species (other than ducks for fattening) and ornamental birds by Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 1068/2011 (2). |
| --- | --- |

(2)

The use of the preparation of endo-1,4-beta-xylanase produced by Aspergillus niger (CBS 109.713) and endo-1,4-beta-glucanase produced by Aspergillus niger (DSM 18404) was authorised for 10 years for chickens reared for laying, turkeys for breeding purposes, turkeys reared for breeding, other minor avian species (other than ducks for fattening) and ornamental birds by Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 1068/2011 (2).

| (3) | In accordance with Article 13(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003, the holder of the authorisation has proposed changing the terms of the authorisation of that preparation by reducing its minimum content from 560 TXU/kg to 280 TXU/kg and from 250 TGU/kg to 125 TGU/kg of the complete feedingstuff as regards the use on chickens reared for laying, and all avian species for laying. The application was accompanied by the relevant supporting data. The Commission forwarded that application to the European Food Safety Authority (‘the Authority’). |

In accordance with Article 13(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003, the holder of the authorisation has proposed changing the terms of the authorisation of that preparation by reducing its minimum content from 560 TXU/kg to 280 TXU/kg and from 250 TGU/kg to 125 TGU/kg of the complete feedingstuff as regards the use on chickens reared for laying, and all avian species for laying. The application was accompanied by the relevant supporting data. The Commission forwarded that application to the European Food Safety Authority (‘the Authority’).

| (4) | The Authority concluded in its opinion of 20 October 2016 (3) that, under the new proposed conditions of use, the preparation of endo-1,4-beta-xylanase produced by Aspergillus niger (CBS 109.713) and endo-1,4-beta-glucanase produced by Aspergillus niger (DSM 18404) has the potential to be efficacious at the requested minimum doses of 280 TXU/kg and 125 TGU/kg of complete feedingstuff on chickens reared for laying, and all avian species for laying. 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 additive in feed submitted by the Reference Laboratory set up by Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003. |
