As regards the allegations that the product is not obtained from vine varieties belonging to Vitis vinifera, several elements have to be taken into account. Firstly, there is no harmonised classification of a vine variety belonging to Vitis vinifera at EU level. In addition, there is no reference list or scientific document available from any official competent body, such as the International Organisation of Vine and Wine (OIV), which currently would allow to undisputedly categorize Vitis vinifera species or a cross between the Vitis vinifera species and other species of the genus Vitis, or to distinguish between them. Against this background, the issue of scientific definition should primarily be addressed in the preliminary national assessment conducted by the Member States in accordance with Article 96 of Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013. Denmark relies on the German classification where all five wine grape varieties in question are classified as belonging to Vitis vinifera. Secondly, pursuant to Article 16(3) of Regulation (EC) No 607/2009 regarding the Scrutiny of an objection, the Commission shall take any decision to reject or register the designation of origin on the basis of the evidence available to it. In the case at hand the objectors did not provide any solid scientific evidence or data proving that the product is not obtained from vine varieties belonging to Vitis vinifera. Lastly, the Commission notes that several other Member States use the wine grape varieties in question in the production of their wines with Protected Designation of Origin.

It is presented in the shape of a round cap (diameter 2,7 cm) with slightly lowered centre, turned down into a hole, with small air gaps inside the turned down part. The cap is connected to a hollow threaded shank (diameter 0,5 cm). The total length of the article is 2,5 cm. The article is designed to be used as a tuning element in a specific bandpass filter (the bandpass filter is used in cellular network base stations to transmit signals of certain frequencies) filtering out the upper and lower frequencies, by screwing it into the bandpass filter chassis. It is an essential part in the process of tuning. In the tuning process the round cap acts as a resonator. In case of any damage to the surface of this round cap there will be a distortion of the radio frequency waves. See image (*1).

concerning the authorisation of a preparation of Pediococcus pentosaceus DSM 32291 as a feed additive for all animal species

(Text with EEA relevance)

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

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

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 a preparation of Pediococcus pentosaceus DSM 32291. That application was accompanied by the particulars and documents required under Article 7(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003.

(3) That application concerns the authorisation of a preparation of Pediococcus pentosaceus DSM 32291 as a feed additive for all animal species, to be classified in the additive category ‘technological additives’.

(4) The European Food Safety Authority (‘the Authority’) concluded in its opinion of 21 February 2018 (2) that, under the proposed conditions of use, the preparation of Pediococcus pentosaceus DSM 32291 does not have an adverse effect on animal health, human health or the environment. The Authority also concluded that the preparation concerned has the potential to improve the production of silage from easy, and moderately difficult to ensile forage materials. 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.

(5) The assessment of the preparation of Pediococcus pentosaceus DSM 32291 shows that the conditions for authorisation, as 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.
