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 nutrition(1), 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 of that Regulation provides for the re-evaluation of additives authorised pursuant to Council Directive 70/524/EEC(2).
(2) The preparation of narasin, CAS number 55134-13-9, and nicarbazin, CAS number 330-95-0, was authorised for ten years in accordance with Directive 70/524/EEC as a feed additive for use on chickens for fattening by Commission Regulation (EC) No 2430/1999(3). That additive was subsequently entered in the Community Register of feed additives as an existing product, in accordance with Article 10(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003.
(3) In accordance with Article 10(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 in conjunction with Article 7 of that Regulation, an application was submitted for the re-evaluation of that additive, requesting that additive to be classified in the additive category ‘coccidiostats and histomonostats’. That application was accompanied by the particulars and documents required pursuant to Article 7(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003.
(4) The European Food Safety Authority (‘the Authority’) concluded in its opinion of 7 April 2010 that, under the proposed conditions of use, the preparation of narasin and of nicarbazin do not have an adverse effect on animal health, consumer health or the environment and that these additives are effective in controlling coccidiosis in chickens for fattening(4). It considers that there is a need for specific requirements of post-market monitoring to control the possible development of bacterial and/or Eimeria spp resistances. Since p-nitroaniline, an impurity associated with nicarbazin, leads to possible residues of this substance, the Authority recommends that the content of that impurity be limited at the lowest achievable level. The Authority also verified the report on the method of analysis of the feed additive in feed submitted by the Community Reference Laboratory set up by Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003.
(5) The assessment of the preparation of narasin and nicarbazin 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. In view of the opinion of the Authority, it is, however, necessary to limit the content of the impurity p-nitroaniline. To give producers and users time to adapt, it is appropriate for this limitation to start to apply three years after this Regulation becomes applicable.
(6) As a consequence of the granting of a new authorisation under Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003, the provisions on that preparation in Regulation (EC) No 2430/1999 should be deleted.
(7) 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:
The preparation specified in the Annex, belonging to the additive category ‘coccidiostats and histomonostats’, is authorised as an additive in animal nutrition subject to the conditions laid down in that Annex.
In Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 2430/1999, the entry under the registration number of additive E 772, concerning Narasin 80 g/kg — Nicarbazin 80 g/kg (Maxiban G160), is deleted.
Premixture and compound feed containing the feed additive labelled in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 2430/1999 may continue to be placed on the market and remain on the market and used until stocks are exhausted.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the 20th day following 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.
