The applicant has submitted documents supporting its claim.\n(3)\nThe 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.\n(4)\nTo 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.\n(5)\nRegulations (EC) No 1730/2006 and (EC) No 1138/2007 should therefore be amended accordingly.\n(6)\nSince 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.\n(7)\nThe measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Plants, Animals, Food and Feed,\nHAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:",
