The Union has also indicated that it is ready to start work towards applying targeted measures for those members of the security forces involved in torture and other serious violations of human rights.

Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,

Having regard to Regulation (EU) No 952/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 9 October 2013 laying down the Union Customs Code (1), and in particular Article 57(4) and Article 58(2) thereof,

(2) Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87 has laid down the general rules for the interpretation of the Combined Nomenclature.

(4)

The European Food Safety Authority (‘the Authority’) concluded in its opinion of 27 February 2019 (2) that, under the proposed conditions of use, the preparation Bacillus amyloliquefaciens NRRL B-50508, Bacillus amyloliquefaciens NRRL B-50509 and Bacillus subtilis NRRL B-50510 does not have an adverse effect on animal health or the environment. It also concluded that the additive is considered as a potential respiratory sensitiser, even if with a low dusting potential, and that no conclusion could be drawn on skin or eyes sensitisation or irritation by the additive. Therefore, the Commission considers that appropriate protective measures should be taken to prevent adverse effects on human health, in particular as regards the users of the additive. The Authority also concluded that the additive has a potential to be efficacious in feed to gain ratio in pigs for fattening at the recommended dose and that this conclusion can be extended to minor porcine species for fattening. 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.
