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)Taminco BVBA has submitted an application in accordance with Article 13(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 proposing to change                              the name of the holder of the authorisation as set out in Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 496/2011(2).

(2)The applicant claims that, with effect from 6 March 2014, it has acquired the feed additive business from Kemira Oyj, and                              that it now owns the marketing rights for the feed additive sodium benzoate. The applicant has submitted documents supporting                              its allegations.

(3)The proposed change of the terms of the authorisation is purely administrative in nature and does not entail a fresh assessment                              of the additive concerned. The European Food Safety Authority was informed of the application.

(4)In order to allow the applicant to exploit its marketing rights under the name of Taminco Finland Oy, it is necessary to change                              the terms of the authorisations.

(5)Regulation (EU) No 496/2011 should therefore be amended accordingly.

(6)Since the modification to the conditions of authorisation is not related to safety reasons, it is appropriate to provide for                              a transitional period during which existing stocks may be used up.

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