Hansen A/S) and its use in feed containing formic acid\n(Text with EEA relevance)\nTHE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,\nHaving regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,\nHaving 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 13(3) thereof,\nWhereas:\n(1)\nThe preparation of Bacillus subtilis DSM 17299, 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 1137/2007.\n(2)\nIn accordance with Article 13(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003, the holder of the authorisation has proposed changing the terms of the authorisation of Bacillus subtilis DSM 17299 to modify the additive composition by increasing the minimum concentration and to allow its use in feed for chickens for fattening containing formic acid. The application was accompanied by the relevant supporting data. The Commission forwarded that application to the European Food Safety Authority (hereinafter ‘the Authority’).\n(3)\nThe Authority concluded in its opinion of 15 March 2011 that the increase of the minimum concentration from 1,6 × 109 to 1,6 × 1010 CFU/g is unlikely to introduce new hazards and that the modified composition is compatible with formic acid. 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.\n(4)\nThe conditions provided for in Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 are satisfied.\n(5)\nRegulation (EC) No 1137/2007 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:",
