COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 1356/2004

of 26 July 2004
concerning the authorisation for 10 years of the additive ‘Elancoban’ in feedingstuffs, belonging to
the group of coccidiostats and other medicinal substances

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty
Community,

establishing the European

Having regard to Council Directive 70/524/EEC of 23
November 1970 concerning additives in feedingstuffs (1), and
in particular Article 9g(5)(b) thereof,

Whereas:

(3)

In accordance with Directive 70/524/EEC, coccidiostats
included in Annex I to that Directive before 1 January
1988 were provisionally authorised as from 1 April
1998 and transferred to Chapter I of Annex B with a
view to their re-evaluation as additives linked to a person
for putting them into circulation. The
responsible
is an additive
monensin sodium product, Elancoban,
belonging
and other
medicinal substances’ listed in Chapter I of Annex B to
Directive 70/524/EEC.

group ‘Coccidiostats

to the

The person responsible for putting into circulation
Elancoban submitted an application for authorisation
and a dossier, according to Article 9g(2) and (4) of
that Directive.

Article 9g(6) of Directive 70/524/EEC allows
the
automatic extension of the period of authorisation of
the additives concerned until the Commission takes a
decision in case of, for reasons beyond the control of
the authorisation holder, no decision may be taken on
the application before the expiry date of the authori-
sation. This provision is applicable to the authorisation
of Elancoban. On 26 April 2001,
the Commission
requested the Scientific Committee for Animal Nutrition
for a full risk evaluation and this request was conse-
transferred to the European Food Safety
quently
Authority. Several requests for additional
information
were made during the re-evaluation process making it
impossible to complete the re-evaluation within the
time limits required by Article 9g.

(1) OJ L 270, 14.12.1970, p. 1. Regulation as last amended by Regu-

lation (EC) No 1756/2002 (OJ L 265, 3.10.2002, p. 1).

The Scientific Panel on Additives and Products or
Substances used in Animal
Feed attached to the
European Food Safety Authority has delivered a
favourable opinion with regard to the safety and to the
efficacy of Elancoban for chickens for
for
chickens reared for laying and for turkeys.

fattening,

The re-evaluation of Elancoban carried out by the
the relevant conditions laid
Commission showed that
down in Directive 70/524/EEC are satisfied. Elancoban
should therefore be authorised for 10 years as an
additive linked to the person responsible for putting it
into circulation and included in Chapter I of the list
referred to Article 9t(b) of that Directive.

As the authorisation for the additive is now linked to a
person responsible for putting it into circulation, and
replaces
the previous authorisation which was not
linked to any specific person, it is appropriate to delete
the latter authorisation.

Since there are no safety reasons for withdrawing the
product monensin sodium from the market immediately,
it is appropriate to allow a transitional period of six
months for the disposal of existing stocks of the additive.

The measures provided for in this Regulation are in
accordance with
Standing
Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
