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,
Whereas:
(1) The use of a preparation of endo-1,4-beta-xylanase (EC 3.2.1.8) produced by Trichoderma reesei (ATCC PTA 5588), belonging to the additive category of ‘zootechnical additives’, was authorised for 10 years as a feed additive for use on chickens for fattening, laying hens, ducks and turkeys for fattening by Commission Regulation (EU) No 9/2010 (2), for weaned piglets and pigs for fattening by Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 528/2011 (3) and for minor poultry species other than ducks by Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 1021/2012 (4).
(2) In accordance with Article 13(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003, the holder of the authorisation has proposed changing the terms of the authorisation of the preparation concerned by reducing its minimum content from 2 500 U/kg to 625 U/kg as regards the use on laying hens. The application was accompanied by the relevant supporting data. The Commission forwarded that application to the European Food Safety Authority (hereinafter ‘the Authority’).
(3) The Authority concluded in its opinion of 22 May 2012 (5) that, under the new proposed conditions of use, the preparation concerned is efficacious at the requested minimum dose of 625 U/kg. The Authority does not consider that there is a need for specific requirements of post-market monitoring. It also verified the report on the method of analysis of the feed additive in feed submitted by the Reference Laboratory set up by Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003.
(4) The conditions provided for in Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 are satisfied.

Council Decision
of 19 December 2000
on the granting of exceptional national aid by the Government of the Italian Republic for the distillation of certain wine sector products
(2000/809/EC)
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 88(2), third subparagraph, thereof,
Having regard to the request made by the Government of the Italian Republic on 6 December 2000,
Whereas:
(1) Article 30 of Council Regulation (EC) No 1493/1999 of 17 May 1999 on the common organisation of the market in wine(1) allows a crisis distillation measure if there is an exceptional case of wine market disturbance caused by serious surpluses and/or problems of quality.
(2) An imbalance on the wine market as a result of surplus wine stocks prompted the Italian Government to request the introduction of crisis distillation, pursuant to Article 30 of the aforementioned Regulation, for 120000 hectolitres of wine obtained by fermentation of products suitable for the production of "Asti" and "Moscato d'Asti"; the Management Committee for Wine gave a favourable opinion on 28 November 2000.
(3) The introduction of such crisis distillation involves the payment of Community aid of EUR 1,914/% vol/hl (ITL 3706,02), which the Italian Government thinks altogether insufficient either to avoid loss of income for producers, given the low level of prices, or to prevent greater market disturbance, taking into account the very high production costs resulting inter alia from the keeping of stocks which have to be refrigerated and from the cost of measures for the restructuring of production.
(4) To deal with these difficulties, the Italian Government is requesting authorisation to grant exceptional additional aid equivalent to EUR 12,390/% vol/hl (ITL 23990,38) for application to the total quantity of wine to be covered by crisis distillation; the overall expenditure is estimated at around EUR 15,5 million (approx. ITL 30 billion).
(5) The aid in question, for a limited quantity of a high-quality product such as "Asti" and "Moscato d'Asti", is justified on account of the current crisis on the wine market, which could worsen further without a sufficient level of intervention.
(6) Exceptional circumstances therefore exist, making it possible to consider such aid, by way of derogation and to the extent strictly necessary to remedy the imbalance which has arisen, to be compatible with the common market on the terms specified in this Decision,
Exceptional additional aid by the Italian Government for the distillation of 120000 hectolitres of wine obtained by fermentation of products suitable for the production of "Asti" and "Moscato d'Asti", amounting to EUR 12,390/% vol/hl (ITL 23990,38), shall be considered to be compatible with the common market.
This Decision is addressed to the Italian Republic.
