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 and renewing such authorisation.
(2) Lanthanum carbonate octahydrate was authorised for 10 years as a feed additive for cats by Commission Regulation (EC) No 163/2008.
(3) In accordance with Article 14 of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003, an application was submitted by the holder of that authorisation for the renewal of the authorisation of lanthanum carbonate octahydrate as a feed additive for cats, requesting that additive to be classified in the additive category zootechnical additives. That application was accompanied by the particulars and documents required under Article 14(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003.
(4) The European Food Safety Authority (the Authority) concluded in its opinion of 29 November 2018 that the applicant has provided data demonstrating that the additive complies with the conditions of authorisation.
(5) The assessment of lanthanum carbonate octahydrate shows that the conditions for authorisation, as provided for in Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003, are satisfied. Accordingly, the authorisation of that additive should be renewed as specified in the Annex to this Regulation.
(6) As a consequence of the renewal of the authorisation of lanthanum carbonate octahydrate as a feed additive under the conditions laid down in the Annex to this Regulation, Regulation (EC) No 163/2008 should be repealed.
(7) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Plants, Animals, Food and Feed,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
The authorisation of the additive specified in the Annex, belonging to the additive category zootechnical additives and to the functional group other zootechnical additives, is renewed subject to the conditions laid down in that Annex.
Article 2
Regulation (EC) No 163/2008 is repealed.
Article 3
This Regulation shall enter into force on the twentieth day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.

The authorisation of lanthanum carbonate octahydrate was renewed for 10 years as a feed additive for cats, with identification number 4d1, by Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/913 (holder of authorisation: Bayer HealthCare AG). Lanthanum carbonate octahydrate was also authorised for 10 years as a feed additive for cats, with identification number 4d23, by Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2022/1471 (holder of authorisation: Porus GmbH). Both additives were erroneously referred to as a preparation in the Annexes to those Implementing Regulations. In addition, the conditions of
