That additive was notified as an existing product on the basis of Article 10 of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003. Since all the information required under that provision was submitted, that additive was entered into the Community Register of Feed Additives.(2)Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 provides for the possibility of modifying the authorisation of an additive further to a request from the holder of the authorisation and an opinion of the European Food Safety Authority (the Authority). The holder of the authorisation of the additive salinomycin sodium (Sacox 120 microGranulate) has submitted an application which proposes changing the conditions of the authorisation by introducing a maximum residue limit (MRL) as evaluated by the Authority.(3)In its opinion adopted on 30 June 2004Opinion of the Scientific Panel on Additives and Products or Substances used in Animal Feed on a request from the Commission on the re-evaluation of coccidiostat Sacox® 120 microGranulate in accordance with article 9G of Council Directive 70/524/EEC. Adopted on 30 June 2004The EFSA Journal (2004) 76, p. 1-49., the Authority proposed to establish an MRL of 5 μg/kg for the active substance concerned. It may be necessary to review that MRL in the light of the results of a future evaluation of that active substance by the European Agency for the Evaluation of Medicinal Products.(4)Regulation (EC) No 1463/2004 should therefore be amended accordingly.(5)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:
