Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/1839 of 3 July 2024 correcting Implementing Regulation (EU) 2023/2846 by deleting Schinopsis lorentzii (Griseb.) Engl. as a source of the feed additive red quebracho extract

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 substances red quebracho extract from Schinopsis balansae Engl. or Schinopsis lorentzii (Griseb.) Engl. were authorised as feed additives for all animal species by Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2023/2846 (2) for 10 years.

(2) However, the substance red quebracho extract from Schinopsis lorentzii (Griseb.) Engl. was erroneously included in Implementing Regulation (EU) 2023/2846 despite not being included in the application for authorisation.

(3) Implementing Regulation (EU) 2023/2846 should therefore be corrected accordingly. For the sake of clarity, it is appropriate to replace the whole Annex to that Implementing Regulation.

(4) To prevent the placing of the feed additive red quebracho extract from Schinopsis lorentzii (Griseb.) Engl. on the market, which could result from the error in Implementing Regulation (EU) 2023/2846, this Regulation should enter into force as a matter of urgency.

(5) To preserve the legitimate expectations of the feed business operators created by the erroneous authorisation of the feed additive red quebracho extract from Schinopsis lorentzii (Griseb.) Engl., a short transitional period should be provided to allow those operators to adapt to the correction introduced by this Regulation.

(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:
