Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2021/1413 of 27 August 2021 concerning the authorisation of endo-1,4-beta-xylanase produced by Bacillus subtilis LMG-S 15136 as a feed additive for lactating sows (holder of the authorisation Beldem, division of Puratos NV) (Text with EEA relevance)
Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2021/1413of 27 August 2021concerning the authorisation of endo-1,4-beta-xylanase produced by Bacillus subtilis LMG-S 15136 as a feed additive for lactating sows (holder of the authorisation Beldem, division of Puratos NV)(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.(2)In accordance with Article 7 of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003, an application was submitted for the authorisation of a preparation of endo-1,4-beta-xylanase produced by Bacillus subtilis LMG-S 15136. The application was accompanied by the particulars and documents required under Article 7(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003.(3)That application concerns the authorisation of the preparation of endo-1,4-beta-xylanase (EC 3.2.1.8) produced by Bacillus subtilis LMG-S 15136 as a feed additive for lactating sows to be classified in the additive category "zootechnical additives" and in the functional group "digestibility enhancers".(4)The European Food Safety Authority ("the Authority") concluded in its opinions of 7 October 2019EFSA Journal 2019;17(11):5892. and 27 January 2021EFSA Journal 2021;19(3):6456. that, under the proposed conditions of use, the preparation of endo-1,4-beta-xylanase produced by Bacillus subtilis LMG-S 15136 does not have an adverse effect on animal health, consumer safety or the environment. The Authority concluded that that additive should be considered a respiratory sensitiser and a potential dermal sensitiser. 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. The Authority concluded that the additive has a potential to be efficacious as a zootechnical additive in sows during the lactation period. 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)The assessment of the preparation of endo-1,4-beta-xylanase produced by Bacillus subtilis LMG-S 15136 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.(6)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:
