of 25 September 2009

concerning the authorisation of selenomethionine produced by Saccharomyces cerevisiae CNCM I-3399 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 the preparation selenomethionine produced by Saccharomyces cerevisiae CNCM I-3399 as a feed additive for all species, to be classified in the additive category ‘nutritional additives’.

(4) The European Food Safety Authority (the Authority) concluded in its opinion of 5 March 2009 (2) that selenium enriched yeast, mainly selenomethionine, from Saccharomyces cerevisiae CNCM I-3399 does not have an adverse effect on animal health, human health or the environment and the use of that preparation can be considered as a source of bio-available selenium and fulfils the criteria of a nutritional additive for all species. The Authority does not consider that there is a need for specific requirements of post-market monitoring. It 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.

(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 ‘nutritional additives’ and to the functional group ‘compounds of trace elements’, 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. Done at Brussels, 25 September 2009. For the Commission Androulla VASSILIOU Member of the Commission

COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 899/2009

of 25 September 2009

amending Regulation (EC) No 1290/2008 as regards the name of the holder of the authorisation of a preparation of Lactobacillus rhamnosus (CNCM-I-3698) and Lactobacillus farciminis (CNCM-I-3699) (Sorbiflore)

(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 13(3) thereof,

Whereas:

(1) A preparation of Lactobacillus rhamnosus (CNCM-I-3698) and Lactobacillus farciminis (CNCM-I-3699) (Sorbiflore), belonging to the additive category ‘zootechnical additives’ and to the functional group ‘other zootechnical additives’, was authorised as an additive in animal nutrition by Commission Regulation (EC) No 1290/2008 (2) for authorisation holder Sorbial SAS.

(2) Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 provides for the possibility of modifying the authorisation of an additive further to a request from the holder of the authorisation and an opinion of the European Food Safety Authority. Sorbial SAS has submitted an application requesting to change the name of the authorisation holder from Sorbial SAS to Danisco France SAS as regards Regulation (EC) No 1290/2008.

(3) The applicant claims that Sorbial SAS was converted into Danisco France SAS with effect from 18 May 2009. Danisco France SAS now owns the marketing rights for the additive. The applicant has submitted appropriate documents supporting its claims.

(4) 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) To allow the applicant to exploit its marketing rights under the name of Danisco France SAS it is necessary to change the terms of the authorisations.

(6) Regulation (EC) No 1290/2008 should therefore be amended accordingly.

(7) It is appropriate to provide for a transitional period during which existing stocks may be used up.

(8) 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

In column 2 of the Annex to Regulation (EC) No 1290/2008 the name ‘Sorbial SAS’ is replaced by ‘Danisco France SAS’.

This Regulation shall enter into force on the 20th day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
