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, 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 a new use of a preparation of Clostridium butyricum (FERM BP-2789). That application was accompanied by the particulars and documents required under Article 7(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003, and by the relevant data to support its requests.

(3) The application concerns the authorisation of the preparation of Clostridium butyricum (FERM BP-2789) as a feed additive for turkeys for fattening and turkeys reared for breeding, to be classified in the additive category zootechnical additives.

(4) The use of the preparation of Clostridium butyricum (FERM BP-2789), belonging to the additive category of zootechnical additives, was authorised for 10 years as a feed additive for use on chickens for fattening by Commission Regulation (EC) No 903/2009 and for minor avian species (excluding laying birds) and for weaned piglets and minor porcine species (weaned) by Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 373/2011.

(5) The European Food Safety Authority (the Authority) concluded in its opinion of 4 March 2014 that, under the proposed conditions of use, the preparation of Clostridium butyricum (FERM BP-2789) does not have an adverse effect on animal health, human health and the environment. It also concluded that the additive has the potential to improve performance in turkeys for fattening and that this conclusion can be extended to turkeys reared for breeding. 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 Reference Laboratory set up by Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003.

(6) The assessment of the preparation of Clostridium butyricum (FERM BP-2789) shows that the conditions for authorisation, as 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.

(7) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Plants, Animals, Food and Feed.
