Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 provides for the authori-
sation of additives for use in animal nutrition.

Article 25 of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 lays down
transitional measures for applications for the authori-
sation of
feed additives submitted in accordance with
Directive 70/524/EEC before the date of application of
Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003.

The applications for the authorisation of the additives
listed in the Annexes to this Regulation were submitted
before the date of application of Regulation (EC) No
1831/2003.

Initial comments on those applications, as provided for
in Article 4(4) of Directive 70/524/EEC, were forwarded
to the Commission before the date of application of
Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003. Those applications are
therefore to continue to be treated in accordance with
Article 4 of Directive 70/524/EEC.

amended by
Commission Regulation (EC) No 378/2005 (OJ L 59, 5.3.2005,
p. 8).

Data were submitted in support of an application for
authorisation without a time limit of the preservative
preparation of sodium benzoate, propionic acid and
sodium propionate for cattle for
fattening. On 18
October 2006 the European Food Safety Authority
delivered its opinion on the safety and efficacy of that
preparation. The assessment shows that the conditions
laid down in Article 3a of Directive 70/524/EEC for
such authorisation are satisfied. Accordingly, the use of
that preparation, as specified in Annex I to this Regu-
lation, should be authorised without a time limit.

The use of the preparation of benzoic acid was provi-
sionally authorised for the first time for pigs for fattening
by Commission Regulation (EC) No 877/2003 (3). New
data were submitted in support of an application for
authorisation without a time limit of that preparation
for pigs for fattening. The assessment shows that the
laid down in Article 3a of Directive
conditions

The assessment of these applications show that certain
procedures should be required to protect workers from
exposure to the additives set out in the Annexes. Such
protection should be assured by the application of
Council Directive 89/391/EEC of 12 June 1989 on the
introduction of measures to encourage improvements in
the safety and health of workers at work (4).
