Commission Regulation (EC) No 1356/2004 authorised that additive for ten years for use for chickens for fattening, chickens reared for laying and turkeys, linking the authorisation to the person responsible for putting that additive into circulation. That additive was notified as an existing product in accordance with Article 10 of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003. Since all the information required under that provision was submitted, that additive was entered into the Community Register of Feed Additives.\n(2)\nRegulation (EC) No 1831/2003 provides for the possibility to modify the authorisation of an additive further to a request from the holder of the authorisation and an opinion of the European Food Safety Authority (‘the Authority’).\n(3)\nThe holder of the authorisation of the additive monensin sodium (Elancoban G100, Elancoban 100, Elancogran 100, Elancoban G200, Elancoban 200) has submitted an application with which it proposes changing the terms of the authorisation by reducing the withdrawal period before slaughter.\n(4)\nIn its opinion adopted on 18 June 2008, the Authority concluded, after re-assessing human exposure, that a one-day withdrawal time for Elancoban G100, Elancoban 100, Elancogran 100, Elancoban G200 and Elancoban 200 for chickens for fattening, chickens reared for laying and turkeys could be set.\n(5)\nRegulation (EC) No 1356/2004 should therefore be amended accordingly.\n(6)\nThe measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,\nHAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:",
