The holder of the authorisation submitted the relevant data to support its request.\n(4)\nThe Authority concluded in its opinion of 8 December 2010 that the use of this new formulation of the additive on turkeys would not be expected to raise any additional concerns for animal health, human health or the environment and is effective in controlling coccidiosis.\n(5)\nThe conditions provided for in Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 are satisfied.\n(6)\nRegulation (EC) No 2380/2001 should therefore be amended accordingly.\n(7)\nSince the modifications to the conditions of the authorisation are not related to safety reasons, it is appropriate to allow a transitional period for the disposal of existing stocks of premixtures and compound feed.\n(8)\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:",
