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.

(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 weaned piglets, chickens for fattening, laying hens, turkeys for fattening and                              ducks for fattening by Commission Regulation (EC) No 271/2009(2), 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(3) and for pigs for fattening by Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 1404/2013(4).

(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 laying hens. The application was accompanied by the                              relevant supporting data. The Commission forwarded that application to the European Food Safety Authority (hereinafter ‘the                              Authority’).

(4)The Authority concluded in its opinion of 20 May 2014(5) 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 laying hens. 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 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) shows that the conditions for authorisation, as provided for in Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 are                              satisfied.

(6)Regulation (EC) No 271/2009 should therefore be amended accordingly.

(7)The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Plants, Animals,                              Food and Feed,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
