Commission Regulation (EC) No 2148/2004of 16 December 2004concerning the permanent and provisional authorisations of certain additives and the authorisation of new uses of an additive already authorised 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 feedingstuffsOJ L 270, 14.12.1970, p. 1. Directive as last amended by Commission Regulation 1800/2004 (OJ L 317, 16.10.2004, p. 37)., and in particular Articles 3 and 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 nutritionOJ L 268, 18.10.2003, p. 29., and in particular Article 25 thereof,Whereas:(1)Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 provides for the authorisation of additives for use in animal nutrition in the European Union.(2)Article 25 of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 lays down the transitional measures for applications for authorisation of feed additives submitted in accordance with Directive 70/524/EEC before the date of application of that Regulation.(3)The applications for authorisation of additives listed in the annexes to this Regulation were submitted before the date of application of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003.(4)Initial comments by Member States on these applications were issued under Article 4(4) of Directive 70/524/EEC have been forwarded to the Commission before the date of application of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003. Such applications therefore shall continue to be treated in accordance with Article 4 of Directive 70/524/EEC.(5)The use of the product, clinoptilolite of volcanic origin, as feed additive belonging to the category of "binders, anti-caking agents and coagulants", was provisionally authorised, for the first time, for pigs, rabbits and poultry by Commission Regulation (EC) No 1245/1999OJ L 150, 17.6.1999, p. 15..(6)New data were submitted in support of the application for authorisation without a time limit. The assessment shows that the conditions laid down in Directive 70/524/EEC for such authorisation have been satisfied.(7)Accordingly, the use of this product, clinoptilolite of volcanic origin, should be authorised without a time limit, under certain conditions set out in Annex I to this Regulation.(8)The use of the micro-organism preparation of Bacillus licheniformis (DSM 5749) and Bacillus subtilis (DSM 5750) was provisionally authorised for pigs for fattening and without a time limit for piglets by Commission Regulation (EC) No 2437/2000OJ L 280, 4.11.2000, p. 28..(9)New data were submitted in support of the application for authorisation without a time limit of that micro-organism preparation for pigs for fattening. The assessment shows that the conditions laid down in Directive 70/524/EEC for such authorisation are satisfied. New data were submitted in support of the application to modify the maximum age of that micro-organism preparation for piglets. The assessment shows that the conditions for such modification of the authorisation are satisfied.(10)The use of the micro-organism preparation of Saccharomyces cerevisiae (NCYC Sc 47) was provisionally authorised, for the first time, for piglets by Commission Regulation (EC) No 1436/98OJ L 191, 7.7.1998, p. 15..(11)The use of the micro-organism preparation of Enterococcus faecium (DSM 7134) and Lactobacillus rhamnosus (DSM 7133) was provisionally authorised, for the first time, for piglets by Commission Regulation (EC) No 2690/99OJ L 326, 18.12.1999, p. 33..(12)New data were submitted in support of the application for authorisation without a time limit of those two micro-organism preparations. The assessment shows that the conditions laid down in Directive 70/524/EEC for such authorisation are satisfied.(13)Accordingly, the use of those three micro-organism preparations, as specified in Annex II, should be authorised without a time limit.(14)Data were submitted in support of an application to obtain an authorisation for a new additive belonging to the group micro-organisms, Kluyveromyces marxianus variety lactisK1 (BCCM/MUCL 39434) for dairy cows.(15)The assessment of the application for authorisation submitted, in respect of the micro-organism preparation specified in Annex III to this Regulation, shows that the conditions referred to in Article 9e(1) of Directive 70/524/EEC are satisfied.(16)The Scientific Committee on Animal Nutrition (SCAN) has delivered an opinion on the use of this additive in feedingstuffs "Opinion on the use of certain micro-organisms as additives in feedingstuffs" on 25 April 2003, which concludes that this additive does not present a risk to animal health, human health or the environment, under the conditions set out in Annex III to this Regulation.(17)The use of the enzyme preparation of endo-1,3(4)-beta-glucanase produced by Trichoderma longibrachiatum (CNCM MA 6-10 W) was provisionally authorised for the first time for chickens for fattening by Commission Regulation (EC) No 1436/98.(18)The use of the enzyme preparation of endo-1,4-beta-glucanase produced by Trichoderma longibrachiatum (IMI SD 142) was provisionally authorised for the first time for chickens for fattening, by Regulation (EC) No 1436/98 (liquid form) and by Commission Regulation (EC) No 1353/2000OJ L 155, 28.6.2000 p. 15. (solid form).(19)The use of the enzyme preparation of endo-1,4-beta-xylanase produced by Trichoderma longibrachiatum (IMI SD 135) was provisionally authorised, for the first time, for chickens for fattening, by Regulation (EC) No 1436/98 (liquid form) and by Regulation (EC) No 1353/2000 (solid form).(20)New data were submitted in support of the application for authorisation without a time limit of those three enzyme preparations. The assessment shows that the conditions laid down in Article 3a of Directive 70/524/EEC for such authorisation are satisfied.(21)Accordingly, the use of those three enzyme preparations as specified in Annex IV, should be authorised without a time limit.(22)The use of the enzyme preparation of endo-1,3(4)-beta-glucanase and endo-1,4-beta-xylanase produced by Penicillium funiculosum (IMI SD 101) is authorised without a time limit for chickens for fattening by Commission Regulation (EC) No 1259/2004OJ L 239, 9.7.2004, p. 8.. The use of this preparation was provisionally authorised for turkeys for fattening, for laying hens and for pigs for fattening by Commission Regulation (EC) No 418/2001OJ L 62, 2.3.2001, p. 3..(23)New data were submitted in support of an application to extend the authorisation of the use of this enzyme preparation to piglets and ducks for fattening.(24)The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) has delivered an opinion on the use of this preparation which concludes that this preparation does not present a risk for these additional animal categories, under the conditions set out in Annex V to this Regulation.(25)The assessment shows that the conditions laid down in Article 9e(1) of Directive 70/524/EEC for an authorisation of such preparation have been satisfied.(26)Accordingly, the use of this enzyme preparation as specified in Annex V, should be provisionally authorised for four years.(27)The assessment of these 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 workOJ L 183, 29.6.1989, p. 1..(28)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
