Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2020/1510of 16 October 2020concerning the authorisation of cinnamyl alcohol, 3-phenylpropan-1-ol, 2-phenylpropanal, 3-(p-cumenyl)-2-methylpropionalde-hyde, alpha-methylcinnamaldehyde, 3-phenylpropanal, cinnamic acid, cinnamyl acetate, cinnamyl butyrate, 3-phenylpropyl isobutyrate, cinnamyl isovalerate, cinnamyl isobutyrate, ethyl cinnamate, methyl cinnamate and isopentyl cinnamate as feed additives for all animal species except for marine animals(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) 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. Article 10(2) of that Regulation provides for the re-evaluation of additives authorised pursuant to Council Directive 70/524/EECCouncil Directive 70/524/EEC of 23 November 1970 concerning additives in feedingstuffs (OJ L 270, 14.12.1970, p. 1)..(2)The substances cinnamyl alcohol, 3-phenylpropan-1-ol, 2-phenylpropanal, 3-(p-cumenyl)-2-methylpropionalde-hyde, alpha-methylcinnamaldehyde, 3-phenylpropanal, cinnamic acid, cinnamyl acetate, cinnamyl butyrate, 3-phenylpropyl isobutyrate, cinnamyl isovalerate, cinnamyl isobutyrate, ethyl cinnamate, methyl cinnamate and isopentyl cinnamate ("substances concerned") were authorised without a time limit in accordance with Directive 70/524/EEC as feed additives for all animal species. Those additives were subsequently entered in the Register of feed additives as existing products, in accordance with Article 10(1)(b) of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003.(3)In accordance with Article 10(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 in conjunction with Article 7 thereof, an application was submitted for the re-evaluation of the substances concerned as feed additives for all animal species. The applicant requested those additives to be classified in the additive category "sensory additives" and in the functional group "flavouring compounds". That application was accompanied by the particulars and documents required under Article 7(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003.(4)The European Food Safety Authority ("the Authority") concluded in its opinion of 6 December 2016EFSA Journal 2017;15(1):4672. that, under the proposed conditions of use, the substances concerned do not have adverse effects on animal health, human health or the environment. The Authority concluded that for the marine environment, the safe use level is estimated to be 0,05 mg/kg feed. The levels of use proposed for the substances concerned exceed the safe level for the marine environment, therefore, the use for marine animals is not authorised. The Authority also concluded in the opinion that the substances concerned are efficacious when used in food, as they increase the food smell or palatability. Therefore, that conclusion can be extrapolated to feed. The applicant withdrew the application for water for drinking, However, the substances concerned can be used within compound feeds which are subsequently administered via water.(5)The Authority concluded that hazards for the skin, eye contact and respiratory exposure are recognised. Most of the substances concerned are classified as irritating to the respiratory system. Consequently, appropriate protective measures should be taken. 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 additives in feed submitted by the Reference Laboratory set up by Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003.(6)The assessment of the substances concerned shows that the conditions for authorisation, as provided for in Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003, are satisfied. Accordingly, the use of those substances should be authorised as specified in the Annex to this Regulation.(7)Restrictions and conditions should be provided for to allow better control. Since safety reasons do not require the setting of a maximum content and taking into account the re-evaluation performed by the Authority, a recommended content should be indicated on the label of the additive. Where such content is exceeded, certain information should be indicated on the label of premixtures.(8)Since safety reasons do not require the immediate application of the modifications to the conditions of authorisation of the substances concerned, it is appropriate to allow a transitional period for interested parties to prepare themselves to meet the new requirements resulting from the authorisation.(9)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:
