amending Regulations (EC) No 1730/2006 and (EC) No 1138/2007 as regards the name of the holder of the authorisation of the feed additive benzoic acid (VevoVitall)
(Text with EEA relevance)
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 nutritionf1 and in particular Article 13(3) thereof,
Whereas:
(1)
(2)
The applicant claims that, following a commercial agreement between Emerald Kalama Chemical BV and DSM Nutritional Products Ltd, the latter owns the marketing rights for the feed additive benzoic acid with effect from 15 April 2014. The applicant has submitted documents supporting its claim.
(3)
The proposed change of the terms of the authorisation is purely administrative in nature and does not entail a fresh assessment of the additive concerned. The European Food Safety Authority was informed of the application.
(4)
To allow that feed additive to be marketed under the name of DSM Nutritional Products Ltd it is necessary to change the terms of the authorisations.
(5)
Regulations (EC) No 1730/2006 and (EC) No 1138/2007 should therefore be amended accordingly.
(6)
Since safety reasons do not require the immediate application of the amendments made by this Regulation to Regulations (EC) No 1730/2006 and (EC) No 1138/2007, it is appropriate to provide for a transitional period during which existing stocks may be used up.
(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:
