COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) No 1019/2012
of 6 November 2012
amending Commission Regulation (EC) No 1096/2009 as regards the minimum content of endo-1,4-beta-xylanase produced by Aspergillus niger (CBS 109.713) as a feed additive in feed for chickens for fattening and for ducks (holder of authorisation BASF SE)
(Text with EEA relevance)
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,
Whereas:
|
(1) |
The enzyme endo-1,4-beta-xylanase produced by Aspergillus niger (CBS 109.713), belonging to the additive category of ‘zootechnical additives’ was authorised for 10 years as a feed additive for use on chickens for fattening and for ducks by Commission Regulation (EC) No 1096/2009 (2) and for use on turkeys for fattening by Commission Regulation (EC) No 1380/2007 (3). |
|
(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 enzyme concerned by reducing its minimum content from 560 TXU/kg to 280 TXU/kg as regards use on chickens for fattening and ducks. The application was accompanied by the relevant supporting data. |
|
(3) |
The European Food Safety Authority (hereinafter ‘the Authority’) concluded in its opinion of 2 February 2012 (4) that, under the new proposed conditions of use, the enzyme concerned is efficacious at the requested minimum dose of 280 TXU/kg. The Authority does not consider that there is a need for specific requirements of post-market monitoring. |
|
(4) |
The conditions provided for in Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 are satisfied. |
|
(5) |
Commission Regulation (EC) No 1096/2009 should therefore be amended accordingly. |
|
(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, |
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
Regulation (EC) No 1096/2009 is amended in accordance with the Annex to this Regulation.
Article 2
This Regulation shall enter into force on the twentieth day following that of 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.
Done at Brussels, 6 November 2012.
