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 nutrition 1, and in particular Article 9(2) thereof,
Whereas:
- (1) The use of Bacillus subtilis DSM 25841 as a feed additive was authorised for all porcine species, including sows, other than lactating sows in order to have a benefit in suckling piglets by Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2020/1760 2 for a 10-year period.
- (2) In the Annex to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2020/1760, a wrong identification number was inserted in the column ‘Identification number of the additive’.
- (3) Implementing Regulation (EU) 2020/1760 should therefore be corrected accordingly. For the sake of clarity, it is appropriate to replace the whole Annex to that Implementing Regulation by the corrected version thereof.
- (4) In order to allow feed business operators to adapt the labelling of the additive and feed containing it to the corrected terms of the authorisation, a transitional period should be provided for as regards the placing on the market of those products.
- (5) In order to preserve the legitimate expectations of the interested parties in relation to the terms of the authorisation of the additive, this Regulation should enter into force as a matter of urgency.
- (6) 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:
Article 1

Feed materials and compound feed containing the preparation and premixtures referred to in paragraph 1 which are produced and labelled before 25 February 2023 in accordance with the rules applicable before 25 February 2022 may continue to be placed on the market until the existing stocks are exhausted.
