COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) 2017/950
of 2 June 2017
amending Implementing Regulation (EU) No 1068/2011 as regards the minimum content of the preparation of endo-1,4-beta-xylanase produced by Aspergillus niger (CBS 109.713) and endo-1,4-beta-glucanase produced by Aspergillus niger (DSM 18404) as a feed additive for chickens reared for laying and all avian species for laying (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) |
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) |
The use of the preparation of endo-1,4-beta-xylanase produced by Aspergillus niger (CBS 109.713) and endo-1,4-beta-glucanase produced by Aspergillus niger (DSM 18404) was authorised for 10 years for chickens reared for laying, turkeys for breeding purposes, turkeys reared for breeding, other minor avian species (other than ducks for fattening) and ornamental birds by Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 1068/2011 (2). |
|
(3) |
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 that preparation by reducing its minimum content from 560 TXU/kg to 280 TXU/kg and from 250 TGU/kg to 125 TGU/kg of the complete feedingstuff as regards the use on chickens reared for laying, and all avian species for laying. The application was accompanied by the relevant supporting data. The Commission forwarded that application to the European Food Safety Authority (‘the Authority’). |
|
(4) |
The Authority concluded in its opinion of 20 October 2016 (3) that, under the new proposed conditions of use, the preparation of endo-1,4-beta-xylanase produced by Aspergillus niger (CBS 109.713) and endo-1,4-beta-glucanase produced by Aspergillus niger (DSM 18404) has the potential to be efficacious at the requested minimum doses of 280 TXU/kg and 125 TGU/kg of complete feedingstuff on chickens reared for laying, and all avian species for laying. 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 the preparation of endo-1,4-beta-xylanase produced by Aspergillus niger (CBS 109.713) and endo-1,4-beta-glucanase produced by Aspergillus niger (DSM 18404) shows that the conditions for authorisation, as provided for in Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 are satisfied. |
|
(6) |
Implementing Regulation (EU) No 1068/2011 should therefore be amended accordingly. |
|
(7) |
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 Annex to Implementing Regulation (EU) No 1068/2011 is replaced by 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, 2 June 2017.

Characterisation of the active substance endo-1,4-beta-xylanase produced by Aspergillus niger (CBS 109.713) and endo-1,4-beta-glucanase produced by Aspergillus niger (DSM 18404) Analytical method (3) For quantification of endo-1,4-beta-xylanase activity: viscosimetric method based on decrease of viscosity produced by action of endo-1,4-beta-xylanase on the xylan containing substrate (wheat arabinoxylan) at pH 3,5 and 55 °C. For quantification of endo-1,4-beta-glucanase activity: viscosimetric method based on decrease of viscosity produced by action of endo-1,4-beta-glucanase on the glucan containing substrate (barley betaglucan) at pH 3,5 and 40 °C. |
