Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2023/2846of 20 December 2023concerning the authorisation of red quebracho extract from Schinopsis balansae Engl. as a feed additive for all animal species(Text with EEA relevance)
Article 1AuthorisationThe substance specified in the Annex, belonging to the additive category "sensory additives" and to the functional group "flavouring compounds", is authorised as an additive in animal nutrition, subject to the conditions laid down in that Annex.
Article 2Transitional measures1.The substance specified in the Annex and premixtures containing that substance, which are produced and labelled before 10 July 2024 in accordance with the rules applicable before 10 January 2024 may continue to be placed on the market and used until the existing stocks are exhausted.2.Compound feed and feed materials containing the substance specified in the Annex which are produced and labelled before 10 January 2025 in accordance with the rules applicable before 10 January 2024 may continue to be placed on the market and used until the existing stocks are exhausted if they are intended for food-producing animals.3.Compound feed and feed materials containing the substance specified in the Annex which are produced and labelled before 10 January 2026 in accordance with the rules applicable before 10 January 2024 may continue to be placed on the market and used until the existing stocks are exhausted if they are intended for non-food producing animals.
