Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2017/930 of 31 May 2017 concerning the authorisation of a preparation of a microorganism strain DSM 11798 of the Coriobacteriaceae family as a feed additive for all avian species and amending Implementing Regulation (EU) No 1016/2013 (Text with EEA relevance. )
Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2017/930of 31 May 2017concerning the authorisation of a preparation of a microorganism strain DSM 11798 of the Coriobacteriaceae family as a feed additive for all avian species and amending Implementing Regulation (EU) No 1016/2013(Text with EEA relevance)THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,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 9(2) and Article 13(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 a new use of a preparation of a microorganism strain DSM 11798 of the Coriobacteriaceae family and for an amendment of the terms of the current authorisation for pigs granted by Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 1016/2013Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 1016/2013 of 23 October 2013 concerning the authorisation of a preparation of micro-organism strain DSM 11798 of the Coriobacteriaceae family as a feed additive for pigs (OJ L 282, 24.10.2013, p. 36).. That application was accompanied by the particulars and documents required under Article 7(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003, and by the relevant data to support the amendment request.(3)The application concerns the authorisation of a new use of the preparation of a microorganism strain DSM 11798 of the Coriobacteriaceae family as a feed additive for all avian species, to be classified in the additive category "technological additives" and the modification of the terms of the current authorisation for pigs to extend the use to all trichothecene mycotoxins.(4)The European Food Safety Authority ("the Authority") concluded in its opinion of 7 December 2016EFSA Journal 2017;15(1):4676. that, under the proposed conditions of use, the preparation of a microorganism strain DSM 11798 of the Coriobacteriaceae family does not have an adverse effect on animal health, human health or the environment. The Authority recognised that the preparation of a microorganism strain DSM 11798 of the Coriobacteriaceae family has the capacity to reduce deoxynivalenol (DON) from contaminated feed. It concluded that the preparation has the capacity to reduce the 12,13-epoxide group in a number of representative trichothecenes and in other mycotoxins of the same structural type regardless of the animal species or category receiving contaminated feed. The Authority does not consider that there is a need for specific requirements of post-market monitoring. It also verified the report on the method of analysis of the feed additive in feed submitted by the Reference Laboratory set up by Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003.(5)In order to allow for the use of the additive with other trichothecenes, it is appropriate to amend Implementing Regulation (EU) No 1016/2013.(6)The assessment of the preparation of a microorganism strain DSM 11798 of the Coriobacteriaceae family shows that the conditions for authorisation, as 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.(7)The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Plants, Animals, Food and Feed,HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
