Whereas:

(1) Regulation (EU) No 1303/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council (3) lays down the common and general provisions applicable to the European Structural and Investment Funds.

By letter of 26 September 2018, the French authorities notified the Commission that a transitional period under Article 15(4) of Regulation (EU) No 1151/2012, ending on 31 December 2022, had been granted to operators established on their territory who meet the conditions laid down in that Article pursuant to the Order of 29 August 2018 on amendments to the specification for the protected designation of origin ‘Brie de Melun’, published on 6 September 2018 in the Official Journal of the French Republic. The operators concerned, who had been legally marketing ‘Brie de Melun’ continuously for at least 5 years before the application was submitted, have lodged an objection as part of the national opposition procedure. One operator objected to the following provision: ‘During the permanent stabling period, the use of straw bedding is compulsory with at least 0,5 kg of straw being added on average per lactating dairy cow per day if a cubicle system is used and 5 kg of straw being added on average per lactating dairy cow per day if open stables are used’. The operator concerned is EARL de la Mardelle (SIRET: 38514961200017). Two operators objected to the following provisions: ‘The amount of concentrated feed provided may not exceed 25 % of the dry matter of the total ration per lactating dairy cow per day, averaged over a year’ and ‘Over a year, the hay fed to the milk herd must be supplied from the holding and the geographical area as follows: – from the holding: Feed originating in the geographical area and supplied by the holding must account for at least 50 % of the dry matter of the herd’s total ration, averaged over a year; – from the geographical area: The proportion of the feed originating in the geographical area of production must account for at least 80 % of the dry matter of the dairy herd’s total ration.’ The operators concerned are SCL du Versant laiteux (SIRET: 49225855300014) and GAEC Reconnu Patoux (SIRET: 38008216400019). One operator objected to the following provision: ‘The amount of concentrated feed provided may not exceed 25 % of the dry matter of the total ration per lactating dairy cow per day, averaged over a year.’ The operator concerned is Gérard Maurice Houdard (SIRET: 39226686200011).

The Authority considered L-tryptophan produced by Escherichia coli CGMCC 7.267, Escherichia coli CGMCC 11 674 or Escherichia coli KCCM 10 534 an efficacious source of the essential amino acid tryptophan for non-ruminant animals; for the supplemental L-tryptophan produced by Escherichia coli CGMCC 7.267, Escherichia coli CGMCC 11 674 or Escherichia coli KCCM 10 534 to be fully efficacious in ruminants, it should be protected against degradation in the rumen. In its opinions, the Authority raised concerns about potential nutritional imbalances for amino acids, when they are administered via water for drinking. However, the Authority did not propose a maximum content for the supplementation with L-tryptophan produced by Escherichia coli CGMCC 7.267, Escherichia coli CGMCC 11 674 or Escherichia coli KCCM 10 534. Thus, it is appropriate to indicate on the label of the additive, and premixtures containing it, an alert to take into account the dietary supply with all the essential and conditionally essential amino acids, particularly in the case of supplementation with L-tryptophan produced by Escherichia coli CGMCC 7.267, Escherichia coli CGMCC 11 674 or Escherichia coli KCCM 10 534 as amino acid via water for drinking. 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.
