COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 1453/2004

of 16 August 2004

concerning the permanent authorisation of certain additives in feedingstuffs

(Text with EEA relevance)

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,

Having regard to Council Directive 70/524/EEC of 23 November 1970 concerning additives in feedingstuffs (1), and in particular Article 3 and Article 9d(1) thereof,

Whereas:

(1)

Directive 70/524/EEC provides for the authorisation of additives to be used in the Community. The additives referred to in Part II of Annex C to that Directive may be authorised without a time limit subject to certain conditions being satisfied.

(2)

The use of the micro-organism preparation of Bacillus licheniformis (DSM 5749) and Bacillus subtilis (DSM 5750) was provisionally authorised, for the first time, for sows, by Commission Regulation (EC) No 2437/2000 (2).

(3)

New data were submitted in support of the application for authorisation without a time limit of that preparation. The assessment shows that the conditions laid down in Directive 70/524/EEC for such authorisation are satisfied.

(4)

Accordingly, the use of that preparation for sows, as specified in the Annex I, should be authorised without a time limit.

(5)

The use of the micro-organism preparation of Bacillus cereus var. toyoi (NCIMB 40112/CNCM I–1012) was provisionally authorised, for the first time, for pigs for fattening by Commission Directive 94/17/EC (3).

(6)

The Scientific Committee on Animal Nutrition (SCAN), in its report on Bacillus cereus var. toyoi (NCIMB 40112/CNCM I–1012) adopted on 5 December 2001, confirmed that preparation, when used in the animal categories piglets, pigs for fattening and sows, satisfies the conditions of Article 3a(b) of Directive 70/524/EEC. The SCAN report also concluded favourably on the efficacy of that preparation when used in the animal categories piglets to two months and sows.

(7)

New data were submitted in support of the application for authorisation without a time limit of that preparation.

(8)

The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) was asked to issue on opinion on the efficacy of that preparation when used as feed additive for pigs for fattening. In its opinion adopted on 7 May 2004, the EFSA concluded favourably on the efficacy regarding that preparation and the whole assessment shows that the conditions laid down in Directive 70/524/EEC for such authorisation are satisfied.

(9)

Accordingly, the use of that preparation for pigs for fattening, as specified in Annex I, should be authorised without a time limit.

(10)

The use of the enzyme preparation of endo-1,4-beta-xylanase and endo-1,4-beta-glucanase produced by Aspergillus niger (CBS 600.94) set out in the first row of Annex II was provisionally authorised, for the first time, for chickens for fattening, turkeys for fattening and piglets by Commission Regulation (EC) No 654/2000 (4).

(11)

The use of the enzyme preparation of endo-1,4-beta-glucanase and endo-1,4-beta-xylanase produced by Aspergillus niger (CBS 600.94) set out in the second row of Annex II was provisionally authorised, for the first time, for chickens for fattening, by Commission Regulation (EC) No 654/2000.

(12)

The use of the enzyme preparation of endo-1,3(4)-beta-glucanase produced by Trichoderma longibrachiatum (ATCC 2106) and endo-1,4-beta-xylanase produced by Trichoderma longibrachiatum (IMI SD 135) and polygalacturonase produced by Aspergillus aculeatus (CBS 589.94) was provisionally authorised, for the first time, for pigs for fattening by Commission Regulation (EC) No 2690/1999 (5).

(13)

The use of the enzyme preparation of endo-1,3(4)-beta-glucanase and endo-1,4-beta-xylanase produced by Aspergillus niger (phoenicis) (NRRL 25541) and of alpha-amylase produced by Aspergillus oryzae (ATCC 66222) was provisionally authorised, for the first time, for piglets by Commission Regulation (EC) No 1636/1999 (6).

(14)

The use of the enzyme preparation of endo-1,4-beta-xylanase, produced from Trichoderma longibrachiatum (CNCM MA 6–10W) was provisionally authorised, for the first time, for chickens for fattening by Commission Regulation (EC) No 1436/98 (7).

(15)

New data were submitted in support of the application for authorisation without a time limit of those five enzyme preparations. The assessment shows that the conditions laid down in Directive 70/524/EEC for such authorisation are satisfied.

(16)

Accordingly, the use of those five enzyme preparations as specified in Annex II, should be authorised without a time limit.

(17)

The assessment of those seven applications shows that certain procedures should be required to protect workers from exposure to the additives set out in the Annexes. Such protection should be assured by the application of Council Directive 89/391/EEC of 12 June 1989 on the introduction of measures to encourage improvements in the safety and health of workers at work (8).

(18)

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

The preparations belonging to the groups ‘Micro-organisms’ and ‘Enzymes’, as set out in Annexes I and II are authorised for use without a time limit as additives in animal nutrition under the conditions laid down in those Annexes.

Article 2

This Regulation shall enter into force on the third 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.

of 16 August 2004

amending Regulation (EC) No 2090/2002 laying down detailed rules for applying Council Regulation (EEC) No 386/90 as regards physical checks carried out when agricultural products qualifying for refunds are exported

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 386/90 of 12 February 1990 on the monitoring carried out at the time of export of agricultural products receiving refunds or other amounts (1), and in particular Article 6 thereof,

Whereas:

(1)

Article 10(2) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 2090/2002 (2) requires Member States to execute a number of substitution checks each calendar year, which shall not be less than the number of days on which export refund products leave the Community’s customs territory. It should be clarified that the number of substitution checks should not be less than the number of days or half the number of days on which consignments of export refund products, not sealed according to the first subparagraph of Article 10(2), leave the Community's customs territory through the customs office of exit concerned.

(2)

Article 11 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 2090/2002 requires Member States to submit annual evaluations on the implementation and effectiveness of the checks carried out under that Regulation and the procedures applied to selecting the goods subject to physical checks.

(3)

Article 26(7) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 800/1999 of 15 April 1999 laying down common detailed rules for the application of the system of export refunds on agricultural products (3) also requires Member States to submit annual evaluations on the implementation and effectiveness of the checks carried out under Regulation (EC) No 2090/2002 on payment declarations.

(4)

The elements of those annual reports should be set out more in detail in order to ensure transparency and to enable a common evaluation.

(5)

Those annual reports should be drawn up on this basis from the 2005 report covering the year 2004. As Member States may need organisational adaptations for gathering information on the requested value of refunds, they may choose to report such information from the 2006 report covering the year 2005.

(6)

The Management Committees concerned have not delivered an opinion within the time limit set by their chairman,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1

Regulation (EC) No 2090/2002 is amended as follows:

1.

COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 1455/2004

of 16 August 2004

concerning the authorisation for 10 years of the additive ‘Avatec 15 %’ in feedingstuffs, belonging to the group of coccidiostats and other medicinal substances

(Text with EEA relevance)

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,

Having regard to Council Directive 70/524/EEC of 23 November 1970 concerning additives in feedingstuffs (1), and in particular Article 9g(5)(b) thereof,

Whereas:

(1)

In accordance with Directive 70/524/EEC, coccidiostats included in Annex I to that Directive before 1 January 1988 were provisionally authorised as from 1 April 1998 and transferred to Chapter I of Annex B with a view to their re-evaluation as additives linked to a person responsible for putting them into circulation. The lasalocid sodium product, Avatec 15 %, is an additive belonging to the group ‘Coccidiostats and other medicinal substances’ listed in Chapter I of Annex B to Directive 70/524/EEC.

(2)

The person responsible for putting into circulation Avatec 15 % submitted an application for authorisation and a dossier, according to Article 9g(2) and (4) of that Directive.

(3)

Article 9g(6) of Directive 70/524/EEC allows the automatic extension of the period of authorisation of the additives concerned until the Commission takes a decision in the case where, for reasons beyond the control of the authorisation holder, no decision may be taken on the application before the expiry date of the authorisation. This provision is applicable to the authorisation of Avatec 15 %. The Commission requested a full risk evaluation from the Scientific Committee for Animal Nutrition on 26 April 2001 and this request was consequently transferred to the European Food Safety Authority. Several requests for additional information were made during the re-evaluation process, making it impossible to complete the re-evaluation within the time limits required by Article 9g.

(4)

The Scientific Panel on Additives and Products or Substances used in Animal Feed attached to the European Food Safety Authority has delivered a favourable opinion with regard to the safety and to the efficacy of Avatec 15 % for chickens for fattening and chickens reared for laying.

(5)

The re-evaluation of Avatec 15 % carried out by the Commission showed that the relevant conditions laid down in Directive 70/524/EEC are satisfied. Avatec 15 % should therefore be authorised for 10 years as an additive linked to the person responsible for putting it into circulation and included in Chapter I of the list referred to Article 9t(b) of that Directive.

(6)

As the authorisation for the additive is now linked to a person responsible for putting it into circulation, and replaces the previous authorisation which was not linked to any specific person, it is appropriate to delete the latter authorisation.

(7)

Since there are no safety reasons for withdrawing the product lasalocid sodium from the market immediately, it is appropriate to allow a transitional period of six months for the disposal of existing stocks of the additive.

(8)

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

Chapter I of Annex B to Directive 70/524/EEC is amended as follows: The additive lasalocid sodium, belonging to the group ‘Coccidiostats and other medical substances’, shall be deleted.

Article 2

The additive Avatec 15 %, belonging to the group ‘Coccidiostats and other medical substances’, as set out in the Annex to the present Regulation, is authorised for use in animal nutrition under the conditions laid down in that Annex.

Article 3

A period of six months from the date of entry into force of this Regulation is permitted to use up the existing stocks of lasalocid sodium.

Article 4

This Regulation shall enter into force on the third 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.
