# Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 1019/2012 of 6 November 2012 amending Commission Regulation (EC) No 1096/2009 as regards the minimum content of endo-1,4-beta-xylanase produced by Aspergillus niger (CBS 109.713) as a feed additive in feed for chickens for fattening and for ducks (holder of authorisation BASF SE) (Text with EEA relevance), Annex

Extent: E+W+S+N.I.

The Annex to Regulation (EC) No 1096/2009 is replaced by the following:
‘ANNEX
