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 13(3) thereof,

(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)


Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 provides for the possibility to modify the authorisation of a feed additive further to a request from the holder of the authorisation and an opinion of the European Food Safety Authority (the Authority).












(3)


The use of the micro-organism preparation of Bacillus subtilis DSM 17299 was authorised for 10 years for chickens for fattening by Commission Regulation (EC) No 1137/2007 of 1 October 2007 concerning the authorisation of Bacillus subtilis (O35) as a feed additive (2).












(4)


The holder of the authorisation submitted an application for a modification of the authorisation of this additive to allow its use in feed containing the coccidiostats lasalocid sodium, maduramycin ammonium, monensin sodium, narasin, salinomycin sodium and semduramycin sodium for chickens for fattening. The holder of the authorisation submitted the relevant data to support its request.












(5)


The Authority concluded in its opinion of 10 March 2010 that the additive Bacillus subtilis DSM 17299 is compatible with lasalocid sodium, maduramycin ammonium, monensin sodium, narasin, salinomycin sodium and semduramycin sodium (3).












(6)


The conditions provided for in Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 are satisfied.












(7)


Regulation (EC) No 1137/2007 should therefore be amended accordingly.
