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.
