of 3 November 2011
concerning the authorisation of Lactobacillus plantarum (NCIMB 30236) as a feed additive for all animal species
(Text with EEA relevance)
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,

Whereas:
(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) In accordance with Article 7 of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003, an application was submitted for the authorisation of Lactobacillus plantarum (NCIMB 30236). That application was accompanied by the particulars and documents required pursuant to Article 7(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003.
(3) The application concerns the authorisation of Lactobacillus plantarum (NCIMB 30236) as a feed additive for all animal species, to be classified in the additive category ‘technological additives’.
(4) The European Food Safety Authority (‘the Authority’) concluded in its opinion of 14 June 2011 (2) that Lactobacillus plantarum (NCIMB 30236), under the proposed conditions of use, does not have an adverse effect on animal health, human health or the environment, and that this preparation has the potential to improve the production of silage from all forages by reducing the pH and increasing the preservation of dry matter and protein. 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 additives in feed submitted by the Reference Laboratory set up by Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003.
(5) The assessment of Lactobacillus plantarum (NCIMB 30236) shows that the conditions for authorisation, as provided for in Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003, are satisfied. Accordingly, the use of that preparation should be authorised as specified in the Annex to this Regulation.
(6) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
The preparation specified in the Annex belonging to the additive category ‘technological additives’ and to the functional group ‘silage additives’, is authorised as an additive in animal nutrition subject to the conditions laid down in that Annex.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the 20th day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

Whereas the Council has examined the Commission proposals on this point; whereas, pending the adoption of these proposals, the date on which the said derogations expire should be once more postponed,

Member States shall bring into force the laws, regulations and adminisrative provisions necessary to comply with this Directive not later than 30 June 1984. They shall forthwith inform the Commission thereof.
