THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

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

Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 2065/2003 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 10 November 2003 on smoke flavourings used or intended to be used in or on foods (1), and in particular Article 11 thereof,

Whereas:

(1) On 1 October 2021, Azelis Denmark A/S (‘the applicant’) submitted an application in accordance with Article 11(1) of Regulation (EC) No 2065/2003, requesting a change to the name of the holder of the authorisation for the flavouring primary product ‘Scansmoke PB 1110’, as set out in Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 1321/2013 (2).

(2) In the application, the applicant stated that the authorisation for the smoke flavouring primary product ‘Scansmoke PB 1110’ was to be transferred to proFagus GmbH. In support of its statement, the applicant provided the transfer agreement concluded between it and proFagus GmbH in respect of the smoke flavouring primary product ‘Scansmoke PB 1110’.

(3) The proposed change of the holder of the authorisation is purely administrative in nature and therefore does not entail a new assessment of the products concerned.
