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 an additive                              consisting of a preparation of a smoke flavouring extract as specified in the Annex to this Regulation. That application was                              accompanied by the particulars and documents required under Article 7(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003.

(3)That application concerns the authorisation of the preparation specified in the Annex as feed additive for dogs and cats,                              to be classified in the additive category ‘sensory additives’ and the functional group ‘flavourings compounds’.

(4)The European Food Safety Authority (the Authority) concluded in its opinion of 24 May 2012(2) that, under the proposed conditions of use in feed, the additive specified in the Annex does not have any adverse effects                              on animal and human health, or the environment. The Authority concluded that since this smoke flavouring extract is used in                              food as smoke flavour, and its function in feed is essentially the same as that in food, no further demonstration of efficacy                              is necessary.

(5)The Authority concluded that this additive is primarily defined by the manufacturing process and the mix of woods from which                              it derives, therefore the manufacturing process and the mix of woods need to be clearly specified in the annex to ensure that                              only smoke flavourings produced by such manufacturing method are placed on the market.

(6)The Authority also concluded that no safety concerns would arise for users provided that appropriate protective measures are                              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 additive in feed submitted by the Reference Laboratory set up by Regulation                              (EC) No 1831/2003.

(7)The assessment of the preparation referred to in the Annex shows that the conditions for authorisation, as provided for in                              Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003, are satisfied. Accordingly, the use of preparations containing that smoke flavouring                              extract should be authorised as specified in the Annex to this Regulation.

(8)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:
