COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 721/2008
of 25 July 2008
concerning the authorisation of a preparation of red carotenoid-rich bacterium Paracoccus carotinifaciens 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 to this Regulation. That application was accompanied by the particulars and documents required under Article 7(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003.
(3)
The application concerns authorisation of preparation of dried killed cells of red carotenoid-rich bacterium Paracoccus carotinifaciens (NITE SD 00017) as a feed additive for salmon and trout, to be classified in the additive category ‘sensory additives’.
(4)
The European Food Safety Authority (the Authority) concluded in its opinion of 18 September 2007 that that preparation of dried killed cells of red carotenoid-rich bacterium Paracoccus carotinifaciens (NITE SD 00017) does not have an adverse effect on animal health, human health or the environment and that it favourably affects the characteristics of animal products (2). It further concluded that that preparation does not present any other risk which would, in accordance with Article 5(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003, exclude authorisation. The Authority made a recommendation concerning maximum residue limits. It did 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 Community Reference Laboratory set up by Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003.
(5)
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.
(6)
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 ‘sensory additives’ and to the functional group ‘a (ii). Colourants; substances which when fed to animals add colours to food of animal origin’, 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 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.

Having regard to Commission Regulation (EC) No 3223/94 of 21 December 1994 on detailed rules for the application of the import arrangements for fruit and vegetables (1), and in particular Article 4(1) thereof,

Whereas because of the length of the restrictions on the free movement of goods, the number of live pigs laid down in Article 1 (2) and (3) of Regulation (EC) No 3088/93 for which an aid may be granted for the delivery to the German authorities, is exhausted; whereas the restrictions on the free movement of goods continue and it is therefore necessary to increase the number of eligible live pigs;

derogating from Regulation (EC) No 2316/1999 laying down detailed rules for the application of Council Regulation (EC) No 1251/1999 establishing a support system for producers of certain arable crops, with regard to set-aside

Whereas:
(1) Eligibility for area aid under the general scheme referred to in Article 2(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1251/1999 is subject to an obligation to set land aside.
(2) Article 19(2) and (3) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 2316/1999(3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 327/2002(4), stipulates that the set-aside period must begin no later than 15 January and that no agricultural production is authorised on the land set aside.
(3) Some regions in Germany were affected by exceptional floods at the beginning of 2002, which makes it difficult to graze livestock in the usual places. Temporary alternatives should therefore be found for sheltering and feeding livestock. The use of land set aside under the arable crop scheme could relieve the situation. However, measures should be taken to ensure that such land is not put to any lucrative use.

Whereas Commission Regulation (EC) No 2571/97 of 15 December 1997 on the sale of butter at reduced prices and the granting of aid for cream, butter and concentrated butter for use in the manufacture of pastry products, ice-cream and other foodstuffs (3), provides for the tracing of cream, butter and concentrated butter in certain circumstances in order to ensure the correct end use of these products;
Whereas, in view of the importance of tracing to the proper functioning of the scheme and in order to ensure the equal treatment of operators who participate in it, it is appropriate to establish common methods for the determination of the tracers referred to in Regulation (EC) No 2571/97;
Whereas it is difficult to establish such reference methods for all tracers simultaneously; whereas establishing a reference method for the determination of vanillin in concentrated butter, butter or cream constitutes a further step in this direction;

However, except in the event of force majeure, if the application for aid is submitted:
- by the end of the month following that referred to in the foregoing subparagraph, 66 % of the aid referred to in Article 4 of Regulation (EEC) No 1308/70 shall be granted;
