in accordance with Article 5(2) of
risk which would,
Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003, exclude authorisation.
According to that opinion, the use of that preparation
can be considered as a source of bio available Se and
fulfils the criteria of a nutritional additive for all species.
The opinion of the Authority recommends appropriate
measures for user safety. It does not consider that there is
a need for specific requirements of post market moni-
toring. This opinion also verifies the report on the
