That application was accompanied by the relevant supporting data. The Commission forwarded that application to the European Food Safety Authority (‘the Authority’). The applicant initially requested the inclusion of the selenocysteine content in the characterisation of the additive but finally withdrew this change; thus the application concerns merely an increase of the maximum selenium content in the current authorisation of the additive.\n(3)\nThe Authority concluded in its opinion of 20 October 2016 that the requested modification would not affect the safety and efficacy of the product, recalling the risk for user safety of the product. The current authorisation act contains a provision to adequately address this risk.\n(4)\nThe assessment of the modified preparation shows that it satisfies the conditions for authorisation, provided for in Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003.\n(5)\nRegulation (EC) No 634/2007 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 Plant, Animals, Food and Feed,\nHAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:",
