(Text with EEA relevance)
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

(2)
The applicant claims that, with effect from 10 February 2012, ChemGen Corp. was acquired by Eli Lilly and Company Ltd which now owns the marketing rights for that additive. The applicant has submitted relevant data supporting its request.
(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.

(5)
Regulation (EC) No 786/2007 should therefore be amended accordingly.

(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,
