The applicant has submitted relevant data supporting its request.(3)The proposed change of the terms of the authorisation is purely administrative in nature and does not entail a fresh assessment of the additive concerned. The European Food Safety Authority was informed of the application.(4)To allow Eli Lilly and Company Ltd to exploit its marketing rights it is necessary to change the terms of the authorisation.(5)Regulation (EC) No 786/2007 should therefore be amended accordingly.(6)Since safety reasons do not require the immediate application of the amendment made by this Regulation to Regulation (EC) No 786/2007, it is appropriate to provide for a transitional period during which existing stocks may be used up.(7)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:
