Commission Regulation (EC) No 109/2007of 5 February 2007concerning the authorisation of monensin sodium (Coxidin) as a feed additive(Text with EEA relevance)THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,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. Regulation as amended by Commission Regulation (EC) No 378/2005 (OJ L 59, 5.3.2005, p. 8)., 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 the preparation set out in the Annex to this Regulation. That application was accompanied by the particulars and documents required under Article 7(3) of that Regulation.(3)The application concerns authorisation of the substance monensin sodium (Coxidin) as a feed additive for chickens for fattening and turkeys, to be classified in the additive category "occidiostats and histomonostats".(4)The European Food Safety Authority (the Authority) concluded in its opinion of 20 October 2005 that monensin sodium (Coxidin) does not have an adverse effect on animal health, human health or the environmentOpinion of the Scientific Panel on Additives and Products or Substances used in Animal Feed on a request from the European Commission of the coccidiostat COXIDIN (monensin sodium), adopted on 20 October 2005, The EFSA Journal (2005) 283, p. 1-53.. The Authority further concluded that monensin sodium (Coxidin) does not present any other risk which would, in accordance with Article 5(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003, exclude authorisation. According to that opinion, the use of that product may be effectively used to prevent coccidiosis. This opinion also verified the report on the method of analysis of that feed additive in feed submitted by the Community Reference Laboratory set up by Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003. The Authority concluded that it was necessary to establish maximum residue limits (MRLs). However, it was unable to propose MRLs since the applicant had not provided the data required. After receiving those data the Authority adopted an opinion proposing provisional MRLs on 21 November 2006Opinion of the Scientific Panel on Additives and Products or Substances used in Animal Feed on the Maximum Residues Limits for monensin sodium for chicken and turkeys for fattening, adopted on 21 November 2006, The EFSA Journal (2006) 413, p. 1-13. See also opinion of the Scientific Panel on Additives and Products or Substances used in Animal Feed on the safety of COXIDIN (monensin sodium), adopted on 12 July 2006, The EFSA Journal (2006) 381, p. 1-10.. It may be necessary to review the MRLs set out in the Annex to this Regulation in the light of the results of a future evaluation of the active substance concerned by the European Agency for the Evaluation of Medicinal Products.(5)The assessment of that preparation shows that the conditions for authorisation, 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:
