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)
The use of a preparation of 6-phytase (EC 3.1.3.26) produced by Aspergillus oryzae (DSM 22594), belonging to the additive category of ‘zootechnical additives’, was authorised for 10 years as a feed additive for use on poultry, weaned piglets, pigs for fattening and sows by Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 837/2012 (2).
(2)
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 the preparation concerned by adding a new solid formulation with a minimum activity of 10 000 FYT/g. The application was accompanied by the relevant supporting data. The Commission forwarded that application to the European Food Safety Authority (hereinafter ‘the Authority’).
(3)
The Authority concluded in its opinion of 24 May 2012 (3) that the new enzyme solid formulation is not expected to introduce hazards to the target species, consumers, users or the environment not already considered and it is efficacious at the minimum activity of 10 000 FYT/g. 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.
(4)
The conditions provided for in Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 are satisfied.

(2)
Applying a single standard for the exchange and transmission of data for the statistics covered by Regulation (EU) No 549/2013 would make a considerable contribution to business process integration in this statistical area.

For the exchange of official statistics, SDMX provides statistical and technical standards, including the SDMX Markup Language, using XML syntax (‘SDMX-ML format’). A new data format and data structure definition designed in accordance with this standard should therefore be introduced. In order to facilitate the transition to the new format, the Commission should, for the first two years after the entry into force of the Regulation, provide Member States with templates, which can be used as inputs to SDMX conversion tools.

The Commission should make available detailed documentation in relation to the SDMX data structure definitions and supply guidelines on their implementation.

Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 854/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 29 April 2004 laying down specific rules for the organisation of official controls on products of animal origin intended for human consumption (1), and, in particular, Article 16 thereof,

In the interest of clarity of Union legislation, and in view of the drawing up of lists of third country establishments from which imports of certain products of animal origin are permitted, former lists adopted on the basis of Decision 95/408/EC became obsolete and it is thus necessary to formally repeal them for reasons of legal certainty.
