Commission Regulation (EC) No 1259/2004
of 8 July 2004
concerning the permanent authorisation of certain additives already authorised in feedingstuffs
(Text with EEA relevance)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Whereas:
Directive 70/524/EEC provides that no additive may be put into circulation unless a Community authorisation has been granted.
In the case of additives referred to in part II of Annex C to Directive 70/524/EEC, which includes micro-organisms and enzymes, authorisation without a time limit of an additive already authorised may be given if the conditions laid down in Article 3(a) are satisfied.
New data were submitted in support of the application for authorisation without a time limit of this micro-organism.
The assessment of the application for authorisation submitted in respect of this micro-organism, shows that the conditions provided for in Directive 70/524/EEC for authorisation without a time limit are satisfied.
The use of this micro-organism for chickens for fattening, specified in Annex I, should therefore be authorised without a time limit.
New data were submitted in support of the applications for authorisation without a time limit of each of these enzyme preparations.
The assessment of the applications for authorisation submitted in respect of each of these enzyme preparations, shows that the conditions provided for in Directive 70/524/EEC for authorisation without time limit are satisfied.
The use of these enzyme preparations for chickens for fattening under the conditions set out in Annexes II, III, IV, V and VI should therefore be authorised without a time limit.
The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
