  "text": "Commission Regulation (EU) 2018/1903\nof 5 December 2018\ncorrecting Annexes IV, VI and VII to Regulation (EC) No 767/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council on the placing on the market and use of feed, and correcting certain language versions of Annexes II, IV, V and VI to that Regulation\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 767/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 13 July 2009 on the placing on the market and use of feed, amending European Parliament and Council Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 and repealing Council Directive 79/373/EEC, Commission Directive 80/511/EEC, Council Directives 82/471/EEC, 83/228/EEC, 93/74/EEC, 93/113/EC and 96/25/EC and Commission Decision 2004/217/EC, and in particular Article 27(1) thereof,\nWhereas:\n(1)\nFollowing the adoption of Commission Regulation (EU) 2017/2279, an error was detected in point 2 of the Annex to that Regulation replacing Part A of Annex IV to Regulation (EC) No 767/2009 as regards the declared content of ash insoluble in hydrochloric acid. As a result, no tolerance levels were established for a content of ash insoluble in hydrochloric acid of 5 %.\n(2)\nAn omission was detected in points 3 and 4 of the Annex to Regulation (EU) 2017/2279 replacing point 7 of Chapter I of Annex VI and point 8 of Chapter I of Annex VII to Regulation (EC) No 767/2009. This led to ambiguity as regards the scope of the provisions on the voluntary labelling of sensory or nutritional feed additives.\n(3)\nRegulation (EC) No 767/2009 should therefore be corrected accordingly.\n(4)\nThe Croatian, Czech, English, Estonian, German, Greek, Hungarian, Italian, Latvian, Lithuanian, Maltese, Polish, Romanian, Slovak, Slovenian, Spanish and Swedish language versions of Regulation (EU) 2017/2279 contain an error where that Regulation replaced the term ‘crude oils and fats’ by the term ‘crude fat’ in Annexes IV, VI and VII to Regulation (EC) No 767/2009, but erroneously omitted to do so also in Annexes II and V to that Regulation.\n(5)\nThe German language version of Regulation (EU) 2017/2279 contains a number of errors. There is an error in point 2 of the Annex to that Regulation replacing Part A of Annex IV to Regulation (EC) No 767/2009 as regards the percentage values of moisture content. Point 3 of the Annex to Regulation (EU) 2017/2279 replacing Annex VI to Regulation (EC) No 767/2009 contains errors as regards the abbreviated name of flavouring compounds and as regards the target species for the mandatory labelling requirements for lysine and methionine.\n(6)\nThe Croatian, Czech, English, Estonian, German, Greek, Hungarian, Italian, Latvian, Lithuanian, Maltese, Polish, Romanian, Slovak, Slovenian, Spanish and Swedish language versions of Regulation (EC) No 767/2009 should therefore be corrected accordingly. The other language versions are not concerned by these corrections.\n(7)\nSince safety reasons do not require the immediate application of the corrections to the Annexes, in order to avoid unnecessary disruption of commercial practices and not to create an unnecessary administrative burden on the operators, it is appropriate to provide for transitional measures allowing a smooth conversion of labelling.\n(8)\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:",
