of 5 November 2010
concerning the authorisation of 6-phytase （EC 3.1.3.26） produced by Aspergillus oryzae （DSM 17594） as a feed additive for sows （holder of authorisation DSM Nutritional Products Ltd）
（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 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.
（2） In accordance with Article 7 of Regulation （EC） No 1831/2003, an application was submitted for the authorisation of the preparation set out in the Annex to this Regulation. That application was accompanied by the particulars and documents required pursuant to Article 7（3） of Regulation （EC） No 1831/2003.
（3） The application concerns the authorisation of a new use of the enzyme preparation 6-phytase （EC 3.1.3.26） produced by Aspergillus oryzae （DSM 17594） as a feed additive for sows, to be classified in the additive category "zootechnical additives".
（4） The use of 6-phytase （EC 3.1.3.26） produced by Aspergillus oryzae （DSM 17594） has been authorised for weaned piglets, pigs for fattening, poultry for fattening and poultry for laying by Commission Regulation （EC） No 1088/2009 [2].
（5） New data were submitted to support the application. The European Food Safety Authority （"the Authority"） concluded in its opinion of 25 May 2010 [3] that 6-phytase （EC 3.1.3.26） produced by Aspergillus oryzae （DSM 17594）, under the proposed conditions of use, does not have an adverse effect on animal health, human health or the environment, and that its use can improve the digestibility of phosphorus. 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 Community Reference Laboratory set up by Regulation （EC） No 1831/2003.
（6） The assessment of 6-phytase （EC 3.1.3.26） produced by Aspergillus oryzae （DSM 17594） shows that the conditions for authorisation, as provided for in Article 5 of Regulation （EC） No 1831/2003, are satisfied. Accordingly, the use of this preparation should be authorised as specified in the Annex to this Regulation.
（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:
Article 1
The preparation specified in the Annex, belonging to the additive category "zootechnical additives" and to the functional group "digestibility enhancers", is authorised as an additive in animal nutrition, subject to the conditions laid down in that Annex.
Article 2
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.
Done at Brussels, 5 November 2010.
