Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2022/633 of 13 April 2022 concerning the authorisation of a preparation of Lactiplantibacillus plantarum DSM 26571 as a silage additive for all animal species (Text with EEA relevance)

Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2022/633of 13 April 2022concerning the authorisation of a preparation of Lactiplantibacillus plantarum DSM 26571 as a silage additive for all animal species(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 an authorisation.(2)In accordance with Article 7 of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003, an application was submitted for the authorisation of a preparation of Lactiplantibacillus plantarum DSM 26571. That application was accompanied by the particulars and documents required under Article 7(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003.(3)The application concerns the authorisation of the preparation of Lactiplantibacillus plantarum DSM 26571 as a feed additive for all animal species, to be classified in the additive category "technological additives".(4)The European Food Safety Authority ("the Authority") concluded in its opinion of 29 September 2021EFSA Journal 2021;19(10):6898. that, under the proposed conditions of use, the preparation of Lactiplantibacillus plantarum DSM 26571 does not have an adverse effect on animal health, consumer safety or the environment. It also concluded that the additive should be considered a respiratory 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 also concluded that the preparation concerned has the potential to improve the preservation of nutrients in silage prepared with easy, moderately difficult and difficult to ensile material. 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.(5)The assessment of the preparation of Lactiplantibacillus plantarum DSM 26571 shows that the conditions for authorisation, as provided for in Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003, are satisfied. Accordingly, the use of the 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:

Article 1The preparation specified in the Annex, belonging to the additive category "technological additives" and to the functional group "silage additives", is authorised as an additive in animal nutrition, subject to the conditions laid down in that Annex.

Article 2This Regulation shall enter into force on the twentieth day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.

This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.Done at Brussels, 13 April 2022.For the CommissionThe PresidentUrsula von der LeyenANNEX
