COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 1730/2006
of 23 November 2006
concerning the authorisation of benzoic acid (VevoVitall) as a feed additive
(Text with EEA relevance)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
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 the preparation set out in the Annex. That application was accompanied by the particulars and documents required under Article 7(3) of that Regulation.
(3)
The application concerns authorisation of the preparation benzoic acid (VevoVitall) as a feed additive for weaned piglets, to be classified in the additive category ‘zootechnical additives’.
(4)
The European Food Safety Authority (the Authority) concluded in its opinion of 9 December 2005 that benzoic acid (VevoVitall) does not have an adverse effect on animal health, human health or the environment (2). It further concluded that benzoic acid (VevoVitall) does not present any other risk which would, in accordance with Article 5(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003, exclude authorisation. According to that opinion, the use of that preparation improves the performance parameters, such as weight gain or feed gain ratio, in piglets. The opinion of the Authority recommends appropriate measures for user safety. It does not consider that there is a need for specific requirements of post-market monitoring. This opinion also verifies the report on the method of analysis of the feed additive in feed submitted by the Community Reference Laboratory set up by Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003. The assessment of that preparation shows that the conditions for authorisation, provided for in Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003, are satisfied. Accordingly, the use of that preparation should be authorised, as specified in the Annex to this Regulation.
(5)
The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
The preparation specified in the Annex, belonging to the additive category ‘zootechnical additives’ and to the functional group ‘other zootechnical additives’, is authorised as an additive in animal nutrition subject to the conditions laid down in that Annex.
Article 2
This Regulation shall enter into force on the 20th day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Article 43 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (1),
Whereas the greater part of the herring stocks in waters under the sovereignty or jurisdiction of Member States have reached a state which gives cause for concern ; whereas the catch limitation measures which must be taken as regards these stocks affect the interests of traditional fishing for purposes of human consumption and raise serious supply problems for the processing industry;
Whereas, consequently, it is essential that direct fishing for herring for industrial purposes other than human consumption be banned in order to permit a regular supply to the food processing and distribution industries;
Whereas such a measure can be effective only if fishermen, whether nationals of Member States or of non-member countries, are prohibited from carrying out any direct fishing activities for industrial purposes other than human consumption within Member States fishing zones;
Whereas the quantities of herring caught by direct fishing outside the waters under the sovereignty or the jurisdiction of the Member States and intended for industrial purposes are at present landed in the Community ; whereas it should be ensured that these quantities are reserved for human consumption,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
All direct herring fishing for industrial purposes other than human consumption shall be prohibited within the maritime waters under the Member States' sovereignty or jurisdiction and covered by Community rules on fisheries.

COMMISSION DECISION
of 10 July 1985
prohibiting the use in feedingstuffs of protein products obtained from Candida yeasts cultivated on n-alkanes
(85/382/EEC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN
COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 82/471/EEC of 30 June 1982 concerning certain products used in animal nutrition (1), as last amended by Commission Directive 84/443/EEC (2), and in particular Articles 4 and 6 thereof,
Having consulted the Scientific Committee for Animal Nutrition and the Scientific Committee for Food,
Whereas under Directive 82/471/EEC the Member States are temporarily authorized to maintain the national authorizations which, prior to being notified of that Directive, they granted for the use of protein products obtained from Candida yeasts cultivated on n-alkanes; whereas a Community Decision concerning these products should be taken within a period of two years as from notification of that Directive;
Whereas, according to present scientific and technical knowledge and the joint opinion of the Scientific Committee for Animal Nutrition and the Scientific Committee for Food, certain strains of yeast of the Candida variety are pathogenic and, in some circumstances, may give rise to hypersensitivity reactions; whereas the use of such strains for the production of protein for use in animal nutrition may therefore entail hazards to animal or human health in so far as viable cells are released;
Whereas, moreover, in the absence of certain basic scientific data, in particular those necessary to interpret the likely effects of changes in the composition of the fatty acids of animal lipids, the hazards which such products may present for the consumer cannot be assessed;
Whereas, on the basis of present knowledge, it cannot be concluded that protein products obtainable from yeasts of the Candida variety cultivated on n-alkanes satisfy the requirements for obtaining Community authorization under Directive 82/471/EEC;
Whereas the use in feedingstuffs of protein products obtained from yeasts of the Candida variety cultivated on n-alkanes should be prohibited throughout the Community until such time as it is established that such products do not represent a hazard to animal or human health;
Whereas those Member States which authorize certain protein products obtained from yeasts of the Candida variety cultivated on n-alkanes must take the necessaary measures to rescind such authorizations;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee for Feedingstuffs,
HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:
Article 1
National authorizations granted for the use of protein products obtained from yeasts of the Candida variety cultivated on n-alkanes shall be withdrawn.
Article 2
This Decision shall apply from 1 March 1986.
Member States shall inform the Commission of any necessary measures they have taken a comply with this Decision.
Article 3
This Decision is addressed to the Member States.

Whereas, in order to ensure compliance with the provisions relating to the quantitative limitations on catches of stocks subject to quotas, it is necessary for the Commission to fix the date by which catches made by vessels flying the flag of a Member State are deemed to have exhausted the quota allocated;
Whereas, according to the information communicated to the Commission, catches of hake in the waters of ICES division VIII a b, d and e by vessels flying the flag of Belgium or registered in Belgium have reached the quota allocated for 1994; whereas Belgium has prohibited fishing for this stock as from 27 July 1994; whereas it is therefore necessary to abide by that date,
