That application was accompanied by the particulars and documents required under Articles 7(3) and 14(2) of that Regulation(4)The European Food Safety Authority ("the Authority") concluded in its opinions of 2 April 2019EFSA Journal 2019;17(4):5691 and EFSA Journal 2019;17(5):5690. that the applicant has provided data demonstrating that the additive complies with the conditions of authorisation. The Authority confirmed its previous conclusions that Pediococcus acidilactici CNCM I-4622 is considered safe for the target species, consumers of products from animals fed with the additive and the environment. It also concluded that there is a potential for users to be exposed via inhalation and that no conclusion could be drawn on the potential for skin and eyes irritancy and dermal sensitisation. Therefore, the Commission considers that appropriate protective measures should be taken to prevent adverse effects on human health, in particular as regards the users of the additive. It also concluded that the additive is efficacious for chickens reared for laying, chickens reared for breeding, chickens for breeding, turkeys and minor avian species reared for laying/breeding and for breeding, and for suckling piglets and minor porcine species for breeding and for fattening and all crustaceans.(5)The assessment of Pediococcus acidilactici CNCM I-4622 shows that the conditions for authorisation, as provided for in Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003, are satisfied. Accordingly, the authorisation of that additive should be renewed as specified in the Annex to this Regulation.(6)As a consequence of the renewal of the authorisation of Pediococcus acidilactici CNCM I-4622 as a feed additive under the conditions laid down in the Annex to this Regulation, Regulations (EC) No 911/2009, (EU) No 1120/2010 and (EU) No 212/2011 and Implementing Regulations (EU) No 95/2013, (EU) No 413/2013 and (EU) 2017/2299 should be repealed.(7)The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Plants, Animals, Food and Feed,HAS ADOPTED THIS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:
