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.

(2)In accordance with Article 7 of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003, an application was submitted for the authorisation of hydroxy-analogue                              of selenomethionine. The 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 hydroxy-analogue of selenomethionine, an organic compound of selenium, as a                              feed additive for all animal species, to be classified in the additive category ‘nutritional additives’.

(4)The European Food Safety Authority (‘the Authority’) concluded in its opinion of 11 December 2012(2) that, under the proposed conditions of use, hydroxy-analogue of selenomethionine does not have an adverse effect on animal                              health, human health or the environment and that its use may be considered as an effective source of selenium for all animal                              species. 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.

(5)The assessment of hydroxy-analogue of selenomethionine shows that the conditions for authorisation, as provided for in Article                              5 of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003, are satisfied. Accordingly, the use of this preparation should be authorised as specified                              in the Annex to this Regulation.

(6)The Authority concluded that the limitation of the supplementation with organic selenium should apply to the already authorised                              organic selenium compounds, the selenised yeasts, and hydroxy-analogue of selenomethionine. Thus, in case inorganic compounds                              of selenium are also added to the feed, the supplementation with organic selenium should not exceed 0,2 mg per kg complete                              feed.

(7)The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain                              and Animal Health,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
