COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) No 357/2013
of 18 April 2013
amending Regulation (EC) No 903/2009 and Implementing Regulation (EU) No 373/2011 as regards the minimum content of a preparation of Clostridium butyricum (FERM BP-2789) as a feed additive for chickens for fattening and minor avian species (excluding laying birds) (holder of authorisation Miyarisan Pharmaceutical Co.

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 use of a preparation of Clostridium butyricum (FERM BP-2789), belonging to the additive category of ‘zootechnical additives’, was authorised for 10 years as a feed additive for use on chickens for fattening by Commission Regulation (EC) No 903/2009 (2) and for minor avian species (excluding laying birds) and for weaned piglets and minor porcine species (weaned) by Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 373/2011 (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 preparation concerned by reducing its minimum content from 5 × 108 CFU/kg to 2,5 × 108 CFU/kg complete feedingstuff as regards the use on chickens for fattening and minor avian species (excluding laying birds). The application was accompanied by the relevant supporting data. The Commission forwarded that application to the European Food Safety Authority (hereinafter ‘the Authority’). |
|
(3) |
The Authority concluded in its opinion of 11 December 2012 (4) that, under the new proposed conditions of use, the preparation concerned shows some potential to improve performance at the requested minimum dose of 2,5 × 108 CFU/kg on chickens for fattening and minor avian species (excluding laying birds). 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. |
|
(4) |
The conditions provided for in Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 are satisfied. |
|
(5) |
Regulation (EC) No 903/2009 and Implementing Regulation (EU) No 373/2011 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:
