THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,

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 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) The preparation Bacillus cereus var. toyoi (NCIMB 40112/CNCM I-1012), belonging to the group of microorganisms, was authorised in accordance with Council Directive 70/524/EEC, in particular, by Commission Regulation (EC) No 256/2002 without a time limit for use for piglets, until two months, and for sows, from one week prior to farrowing until weaning. This additive was subsequently entered in the Community Register of Feed Additives as an existing product, in accordance with Article 10 of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003.

(3) In accordance with Article 7 of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003, an application for an amendment of the authorisation of that preparation was submitted to allow its use in feed for sows from service to weaning. That application was accompanied by the particulars and documents required under Article 7(3) of that Regulation.

(4) The European Food Safety Authority (the Authority) concluded in its opinion of 7 March 2007 that the preparation Bacillus cereus var. toyoi NCIMB 40112/CNCM I-1012 does not have an adverse effect on animal health, human health or the environment. It further concluded that the preparation does not present any other risk which would, in accordance with Article 5(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003, exclude authorisation. 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.

(5) The assessment of that preparation shows that the conditions provided for in Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 are satisfied.

(6) Regulation (EC) No 256/2002 should therefore be amended accordingly.

(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:
