THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to Council Directive 70/524/EEC of 23 November 1970 concerning additives in feedingstuffs, and in particular Articles 3, and 9d(1) thereof,

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, and in particular Article 25 thereof,

Whereas:

(2) Article 25 of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 lays down transitional measures for applications for the authorisation of feed additives submitted in accordance with Directive 70/524/EEC before the date of application of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003.

(3) The application for authorisation of the additive listed in the Annex to this Regulation was submitted before the date of application of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003.

(4) Initial comments on this application, as provided for in Article 4(4) of Directive 70/524/EEC, was forwarded to the Commission before the date of application of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003. This application is therefore to continue to be treated in accordance with Article 4 of Directive 70/524/EEC.

(5) Data were submitted in support of this application for authorisation without a time limit of the enzyme preparation of 6-phytase EC 3.1.3.26 produced by Schizosaccharomyces pombe (ATCC 5233) for chickens for fattening. On 20 April 2006 the European Food Safety Authority delivered its opinion on the safety and efficacy of that preparation.

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.
