(2) In accordance with Article 7 of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 an application was submitted for the authorisation of L-valine produced by Corynebacterium glutamicum (DSM 25202). That application was accompanied by the particulars and documents required under Article 7(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003.
