On 17 March 2022, an application was submitted on behalf of Nactis (‘the applicant’) in accordance with Article 11(1) of Regulation (EC) No 2065/2003, requesting a change to the name of the holder of the authorisation for the smoke flavouring primary product ‘TradismokeTM A MAX’ listed in the table in the Annex to Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 1321/2013 (2).

(2)

In the application, the applicant stated that the authorisation for the smoke flavouring primary product ‘TradismokeTM A MAX’ was to be transferred to JRS, J. Rettenmaier & Söhne GmbH & Co. KG. In support of its statement, the applicant provided evidence of the parties’ consent to the transfer in respect of the smoke flavouring primary product ‘TradismokeTM A MAX’.

(3)

The proposed change of the holder of the authorisation is purely administrative in nature and therefore does not entail a new assessment of the product concerned.

(4)

Implementing Regulation (EU) No 1321/2013 should therefore be amended accordingly.

(5)

In order to ensure a smooth transition, it is appropriate to provide that the smoke flavouring primary product ‘TradismokeTM A MAX’, smoke flavourings derived therefrom and foods containing the smoke flavouring primary product or smoke flavourings derived therefrom, which comply with the rules applying before the date of entry into force of this Regulation, may continue to be placed on the market and used until the existing stocks are exhausted.

(6)

The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Plants, Animals, Food and Feed,
