COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) 2022/703
of 5 May 2022
concerning the renewal of the authorisation of a preparation of Bacillus velezensis DSM 15544 as a feed additive for weaned piglets, the authorisation for all avian species and categories, amending Implementing Regulation (EU) 2016/897, Implementing Regulation (EU) 2017/2312 and Implementing Regulation (EU) 2018/1081 and repealing Regulation (EU) No 333/2010, Regulation (EU) No 184/2011 and Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/893 (holder of the authorisation: Asahi Biocycle Co. Ltd., represented in the Union by Pen & Tec Consulting S.L.U.)
(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 and renewing such an authorisation. |
(2) |
A preparation of Bacillus velezensis DSM 15544, previously taxonomically identified as Bacillus subtilis C-3102 (DSM 15544), was authorised for 10 years as a feed additive for weaned piglets by Commission Regulation (EU) No 333/2010 (2), for chickens reared for laying, turkeys, minor avian species and other ornamental and game birds by Commission Regulation (EU) No 184/2011 (3), for laying hens and ornamental fish by Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2016/897 (4), for sows, suckling piglets and dogs by Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2017/2312 (5), for pigs for fattening by Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2018/1081 (6) and for chickens for fattening by Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/893 (7). |
(3) |
The authorisation of the preparation of Bacillus velezensis DSM 15544 for chickens reared for laying, turkeys, minor avian species and other ornamental and game birds expired on 18 March 2021. |
(4) |
In accordance with Article 13(3) and Article 14(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003, in conjunction with Article 7 thereof, two applications were submitted for the renewal of the authorisation of a preparation of Bacillus velezensis DSM 15544 as a feed additive for weaned piglets, for a new authorisation for chickens reared for laying and for breeding, turkeys for rearing, fattening, breeding and laying, minor poultry species and all other avian species for rearing, fattening, laying and breeding, requesting the additive to be classified in the additive category ‘zootechnical additives’ and for the modification of the terms of the authorisation. The modification relates to change of the name of the additive. The applications were accompanied by the particulars and documents required under Articles 7(3), 13(3) and 14(2) of that Regulation. |
(5) |
The European Food Safety Authority (‘the Authority’) concluded in its opinions of 30 September 2020 (8) and 29 September 2021 (9) that the applicant has provided data demonstrating that the preparation of Bacillus velezensis DSM 15544 complies with the existing conditions of authorisation under the proposed conditions of use. The Authority concluded that the preparation of Bacillus velezensis DSM 15544 does not have an adverse effect on animal health, consumer safety or the environment. It also stated that the preparation is not a dermal/eye irritant or a skin sensitiser but should be considered a respiratory sensitiser. Therefore, the Commission considers that appropriate protective measures should be taken to prevent adverse effects on human health, in particular as regards users of the additive. The Authority also concluded that the additive should be taxonomically designated as Bacillus velezensis DSM 15544 and that the preparation has the potential to be efficacious as a zootechnical additive in feedingstuffs. The Authority does not consider that there is a need for specific requirements of post-market monitoring. The Authority also verified the report on the methods of analysis of the feed additive in feed submitted by the Reference Laboratory set up by Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003. |
(6) |
On 2 December 2020, the applicant, represented in the Union by Pen & Tec Consulting S.L.U., submitted relevant supporting data concerning a change of the name of the holder of authorisation in accordance with Article 13(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003. The applicant claimed that the current name of the company, holder of the authorisation, has been changed to ‘Asahi Biocycle Co. Ltd.’. |
(7) |
That proposed change of the terms of the authorisation is purely administrative in nature and does not entail a fresh assessment of the additive concerned. The Authority was informed of the application. |
(8) |
Implementing Regulation (EU) 2016/897, Implementing Regulation (EU) 2017/2312 and Implementing Regulation (EU) 2018/1081 should therefore be amended accordingly. |
(9) |
The assessment of the preparation of Bacillus velezensis DSM 15544 shows that the conditions for authorisation, as provided for in Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003, are satisfied. Accordingly, the authorisation of that additive should be renewed as specified in the Annex to this Regulation. |
(10) |
As a consequence of the renewal of the authorisation of a preparation of Bacillus velezensis DSM 15544 as a feed additive under the conditions laid down in the Annex to this Regulation, Regulation (EU) No 333/2010, and Regulation (EU) No 184/2011 should be repealed. |
(11) |
Since safety reasons do not require the immediate application of the modifications to the conditions of authorisation of the preparation of Bacillus velezensis DSM 15544, it is appropriate to allow a transitional period for interested parties to prepare themselves to meet the new requirements resulting from the renewal of the authorisation. |
(12) |
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 authorisation of the additive specified in the Annex, belonging to the additive category ‘zootechnical additives’ and to the functional group ‘gut flora stabilisers’, is renewed subject to the conditions laid down in that Annex.
