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 L-valine                              produced by *Corynebacterium glutamicum* (DSM 25202). That 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 L-valine produced by *Corynebacterium glutamicum* (DSM 25202) 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 2 July 2014(2) that, under the proposed conditions of use, the L-valine produced by *Corynebacterium glutamicum* (DSM 25202) does not have an adverse effect on animal health, human health or the environment and that it is considered an                              efficacious source of the essential amino acid L-valine for animal nutrition. 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 L-valine produced by *Corynebacterium glutamicum* (DSM 25202) shows that the conditions for authorisation, as provided for in Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003, are                              satisfied. Accordingly, the use of that substance should be authorised as specified in the Annex to this Regulation.

(6)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:
