COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 1812/2005
of 4 November 2005
amending Regulations (EC) Nos 490/2004, 1288/2004, 521/2005 and 833/2005 as regards the conditions for the authorisation of certain additives in feedingstuffs belonging to the groups of enzymes and micro-organisms
(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 Articles 3, 9d(1) and 9e(1) thereof,
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 (2), and in particular Article 25 thereof,
Whereas:
|
(1) |
Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 provides for the authorisation of additives for use in animal nutrition. |
|
(2) |
Article 25 of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 lays down transitional measures for applications for the authorisation of feed additives submitted in accordance with Directive 70/524/EEC before the date of application of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003. |
|
(3) |
The applications for authorisation of the additives listed in the Annexes to this Regulation were submitted before the date of application of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003. |
|
(4) |
Initial comments on those applications, as provided for in Article 4(4) of Directive 70/524/EEC, were forwarded to the Commission before the date of application of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003. Those applications are therefore to continue to be treated in accordance with Article 4 of Directive 70/524/EEC. |
|
(5) |
The use of the micro-organism preparation No 5 of Saccharomyces cerevisiae (CBS 493.94) has been authorised for horses provisionally for four years by Commission Regulation (EC) No 490/2004 (3). New data were submitted in support of an increase of the Colony Forming Units minimum content of this preparation in the column ‘chemical formula, description’ without changing the maximum, minimum or recommended contents in complete feedingstuffs in the conditions of authorisation. The assessment shows that the conditions laid down in Article 3a of Directive 70/524/EEC for such authorisation are satisfied. Accordingly, the use of that micro-organism preparation, as specified in Annex I, should be authorised until 20 March 2008. |
|
(6) |
The use of the micro-organism preparation No E 1704 of Saccharomyces cerevisiae (CBS 493.94) has been authorised for calves and cattle for fattening without a time-limit by Commission Regulation (EC) No 1288/2004 (4). New data were submitted in support of an increase of the Colony Forming Units minimum content of this preparation in the column ‘chemical formula, description’ without changing the maximum, minimum or recommended contents in complete feedingstuffs in the conditions of authorisation. The assessment shows that the conditions laid down in Article 3a of Directive 70/524/EEC for such authorisation are satisfied. Accordingly, the use of that micro-organism preparation, as specified in Annex II, should be authorised without a time-limit. |
|
(7) |
The use of the enzyme preparation No E 1623 of endo-1,3(4)-beta-glucanase produced by Trichoderma longibrachiatum (ATCC 2106), endo-1,4-beta-xylanase produced by Trichoderma longibrachiatum (ATCC 2105) and subtilisin produced by Bacillus subtilis (ATCC 2107) has been authorised for chickens for fattening without a time-limit by Commission Regulation (EC) No 521/2005 (5). New data were submitted in support of a change of the minimum enzyme activity in this preparation as described in the column ‘chemical formula, description’ without changing the maximum, minimum or recommended contents in complete feedingstuffs in the conditions of authorisation. The assessment shows that the conditions laid down in Article 3a of Directive 70/524/EEC for such authorisation are satisfied. Accordingly, the use of that enzyme preparation, as specified in Annex III, should be authorised without a time-limit. |
|
(8) |
The use of the enzyme preparation No E 1627 of endo-1,3(4)-beta-glucanase produced by Trichoderma longibrachiatum (ATCC 2106) and endo-1,4-beta-xylanase produced by Trichoderma longibrachiatum (ATCC 2105) has been authorised for pigs for fattening without a time-limit by Commission Regulation (EC) No 833/2005 (6). New data were submitted in support of a change in the formulation of this preparation as described in the column ‘chemical formula, description’ without changing the maximum, minimum or recommended contents in complete feedingstuffs in the conditions of authorisation. The assessment shows that the conditions laid down in Article 3a of Directive 70/524/EEC for such authorisation are satisfied. Accordingly, the use of that enzyme preparation, as specified in Annex IV, should be authorised without a time-limit. |
|
(9) |
Regulations (EC) Nos 490/2004, 1288/2004, 521/2005 and 833/2005 should therefore be amended accordingly, |
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
