COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) No 1016/2013

of 23 October 2013

concerning the authorisation of a preparation of a micro-organism strain DSM 11798 of the

Coriobacteriaceae

family as a feed additive for pigs

(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 such authorisation.

(2) In accordance with Article 7 of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003, an application was submitted for the authorisation of a preparation of a micro-organism strain DSM 11798 of the

Coriobacteriaceae

family. That application was accompanied by the particulars and documents required under Article 7(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003.

(3) That application concerns the authorisation of a preparation of a micro-organism strain DSM 11798 of the

Coriobacteriaceae

family as a feed additive for pigs, to be classified in the additive category ‘technological additives’.

(4) The European Food Safety Authority (‘the Authority’) in its opinion of 16 April 2013(2) concluded that, under the proposed conditions of use, the preparation of a micro-organism strain DSM 11798 of the

Coriobacteriaceae

family is safe for the target species, for the human health and for the environment. It recognised that it has the capacity to biotransform trichothecenes from contaminated feed for pigs. 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.

(5) The assessment of the preparation of a micro-organism strain DSM 11798 of the

Coriobacteriaceae

family shows that the conditions for authorisation, as provided for in Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003, are satisfied. Accordingly, the use of that preparation should be authorised as specified in the Annex to this Regulation.

(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:

Article 1

The preparation specified in the Annex, belonging to the additive category ‘technological additives’ and to the functional group ‘substances for the reduction of the contamination of feed by mycotoxins’, is authorised as an additive in animal nutrition subject to the conditions laid down in that Annex.

Article 2

This Regulation shall enter into force on the twentieth 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.
