THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,

Having regard to Council Directive 70/524/EEC of 23 November 1970 concerning additives in feedingstuffs, as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1756/2002, and in particular Articles 3 and 9d(1) thereof,

Whereas:

(1) Directive 70/524/EEC provides that no additive may be put into circulation unless a Community authorisation has been granted.

(2) 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.

(3) The use of the micro-organism preparation of Enterococcus faecium (DSM 10663/NCIMB 10415) was provisionally authorised, for the first time, for chickens for fattening by Commission Regulation (EC) No 1636/1999.

(4) New data were submitted in support of the application for authorisation without a time limit of this micro-organism.

(5) 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.

(6) The use of this micro-organism for chickens for fattening, specified in Annex I, should therefore be authorised without a time limit.

(7) The use of the enzyme preparation of endo-1,4-beta-glucanase, endo-1,3(4)-beta-glucanase and endo-1,4-beta-xylanase produced by Trichoderma longibrachiatum (ATCC 74 252) was provisionally authorised, for the first time, for chickens for fattening in liquid form by Commission Regulation (EC) No 1436/1998, and in granular form by Commission Regulation (EC) No 937/2001.

(8) The use of the enzyme preparation of endo-1,3(4)-beta-glucanase produced by Aspergillus aculeatus (CBS 589.94) was provisionally authorised, for the first time, for chickens for fattening by Commission Regulation (EC) No 654/2000.

(9) The use of the enzyme preparation endo-1,3(4)-beta-glucanase and endo-1,4-beta-xylanase produced by Penicillium funiculosum (IMI SD 101) was provisionally authorised, for the first time, for chickens for fattening by Commission Regulation (EC) No 866/1999.

(10) The use of the enzyme preparation endo-1,4-beta-xylanase produced by Aspergillus niger (CBS 520.94) was provisionally authorised, for the first time, for chickens for fattening by Commission Regulation (EC) No 1436/1998.

(11) The use of the enzyme preparation endo-1,4-beta-xylanase produced by Bacillus subtilis (LMG-S 15136) was provisionally authorised, for the first time, for chickens for fattening in solid form by Commission Regulation (EC) No 1353/2000 and in liquid form by Commission Regulation (EC) No 2188/2002.

(12) New data were submitted in support of the applications for authorisation without a time limit of each of these enzyme preparations.

(13) 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.

(14) 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.

(15) The assessment of these applications shows that certain procedures should be required to protect workers from exposure to the additives set out in the Annexes. Such protection should be assured by the application of Council Directive 89/391/EEC of 12 June 1989 on the introduction of measures to encourage improvements in the safety and health of workers at work, as amended by Regulation (EC) No 1882/2003 of the European Parliament and of the Council.

(16) 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 belonging to the group micro-organisms as set out in Annex I is authorised for use as additive in animal nutrition under the conditions laid down in that Annex.

Article 2

The preparations belonging to the group enzymes as set out in Annexes II, III, IV, V and VI are authorised for use as additive in animal nutrition under the conditions laid down in those Annexes.

Article 3

This Regulation shall enter into force on the third 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, 8 July 2004. For the Commission David Byrne Member of the Commission
