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) 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 under Article 7(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003.

(3) The application concerns a new authorisation of the amino acid L-valine with a purity of at least 98 %, produced by Escherichia coli (K-12 AG314) FERM ABP-10640 as a feed additive for all species, to be classified in the additive category nutritional additives.

(4) From the opinions of the European Food Safety Authority (the Authority) of 30 January 2008 and of 18 November 2008 it results that the amino acid L-valine with a purity of at least 98 %, does not have an adverse effect on animal health, human health or the environment and that it is considered a source of available valine for all species. 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 for authorisation, 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.

(6) 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 nutritional additives and to the functional group amino acids, their salts and analogues, is authorised as an additive in animal nutrition subject to the conditions laid down in that Annex.
