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)


The use of L-methionine produced by Corynebacterium glutamicum KCCM 80245 and Escherichia coli KCCM 80246 as a feed additive was authorised for all animal species by Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2022/1493 (2) for a 10-year period.












(2)


In the Annex to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2022/1493, the indication regarding the maximum moisture content and the percentage of other amino acids contained in the additive identified as ‘3c305ii’ is erroneous.












(3)


Implementing Regulation (EU) 2022/1493 should therefore be corrected accordingly.












(4)


In the interest of preventing disruptions to the placing of the feed additive on the market due to the error in Implementing Regulation (EU) 2022/1493, this Regulation should enter into force as a matter of urgency.












(5)


The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Plants, Animals, Food and Feed,

                  ‘Preparation of L-methionine with a minimum content of 90 % and a maximum moisture content of 0,5 %






—


other amino acids ≤ 0,63 %;’ is replaced by the following:





                  ‘Preparation of L-methionine with a minimum content of 90 % and a maximum moisture content of 1,5 %






—


other amino acids ≤ 0,70 %;’.
