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 tincture derived from Artemisia vulgaris L. (mugwort tincture) as a feed additive for all animal species was authorised by Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2021/421 2 for a 10-year period.
- (2) The use of ginger essential oil from Zingiber officinale Roscoe as a feed additive for all animal species, ginger oleoresin from Zingiber officinale Roscoe as a feed additive for chickens for fattening, laying hens, turkeys for fattening, piglets, pigs for fattening, sows, dairy cows, veal calves (milk replacers), cattle for fattening, sheep, goats, horses, rabbits, fish and pets and ginger tincture from Zingiber officinale Roscoe as a feed additive for horses and dogs was authorised by Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2021/485 3 for a 10-year period.
- (3) The use of turmeric extract, turmeric oil, turmeric oleoresin from Curcuma longa L. rhizome as feed additives for all animal species and turmeric tincture from Curcuma longa L. rhizome as a feed additive for horses and dogs was authorised by Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2021/551 4 for a 10-year period.
- (4) In the Annexes to Implementing Regulations (EU) 2021/421, (EU) 2021/485 and (EU) 2021/551, an incorrect provision for the labelling of the recommended maximum content of the active substances in premixtures was inserted in the column ‘Other provisions’. That provision should only apply to the additives themselves.
- (5) Implementing Regulations (EU) 2021/421, (EU) 2021/485 and (EU) 2021/551 should therefore be corrected accordingly. For the sake of clarity, it is appropriate to replace the whole Annex to those Implementing Regulations.
- (6) In order to allow feed business operators to adapt the labelling of the additives and feed containing them to the corrected terms of authorisation, a transitional period should be provided for as regards the placing on the market of those products.
- (7) In order to preserve the legitimate expectations of the interested parties in relation to the terms of the authorisation of these additives, this Regulation should enter into force as a matter of urgency.
- (8) 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
The Annex to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2021/421 is replaced by Annex I to this Regulation.
Article 2
The Annex to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2021/485 is replaced by Annex II to this Regulation.
Article 3
The Annex to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2021/551 is replaced by Annex III to this Regulation.
Article 4
The substances specified in Annexes I, II and III and premixtures containing those substances, which are produced and labelled before 9 September 2022 in accordance with the rules applicable before 9 March 2022 may continue to be placed on the market until the existing stocks are exhausted.
Article 5
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.
