COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) 2016/899
of 8 June 2016
concerning the authorisation of a 6-phytase produced by Trichoderma reesei (ATCC SD-6528) as a feed additive for all poultry species and all porcine species (other than suckling piglets) (holder of authorisation Danisco (UK) Ltd)
(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 9(2) thereof,
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 a 6-phytase produced by Trichoderma reesei (ATCC SD-6528). That application was accompanied by the particulars and documents required under Article 7(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003. |
(3) |
That application concerns the authorisation of a 6-phytase produced by Trichoderma reesei (ATCC SD-6528) as a feed additive for poultry and porcine species to be classified in the additive category ‘zootechnical additives’. |
(4) |
The European Food Safety Authority (‘the Authority’) concluded in its opinion of 22 October 2015 (2) that, under the proposed conditions of use, a 6-phytase produced by Trichoderma reesei (ATCC SD-6528) does not have an adverse effect on animal health, human health or the environment, and that it is efficacious in improving the retention of phosphorus in chickens and turkeys for fattening, laying hens, weaned piglets, pigs for fattening and sows, at the recommended dose. The Authority has also concluded that this conclusion can be extrapolated to minor poultry species and minor porcine species. 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. |
(5) |
The assessment of a 6-phytase produced by Trichoderma reesei (ATCC SD-6528) 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 Plants, Animals, Food and Feed, |
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
The preparation specified in the Annex, belonging to the additive category ‘zootechnical additives’ and to the functional group ‘digestibility enhancers’, is authorised as an additive in animal nutrition, subject to the conditions laid down in that Annex.
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, 8 June 2016.
