         COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) 2020/1510
         of 16 October 2020
         concerning the authorisation of cinnamyl alcohol, 3-phenylpropan-1-ol, 2-phenylpropanal, 3-(p-cumenyl)-2-methylpropionalde-hyde, alpha-methylcinnamaldehyde, 3-phenylpropanal, cinnamic acid, cinnamyl acetate, cinnamyl butyrate, 3-phenylpropyl isobutyrate, cinnamyl isovalerate, cinnamyl isobutyrate, ethyl cinnamate, methyl cinnamate and isopentyl cinnamate as feed additives for all animal species except for marine animals
         (Text with EEA relevance)
         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)

                     Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 provides for the authorisation of additives for use in animal nutrition and for the grounds and procedures for granting such authorisation. Article 10(2) of that Regulation provides for the re-evaluation of additives authorised pursuant to Council Directive 70/524/EEC (2).

                     (2)

                     The substances cinnamyl alcohol, 3-phenylpropan-1-ol, 2-phenylpropanal, 3-(p-cumenyl)-2-methylpropionalde-hyde, alpha-methylcinnamaldehyde, 3-phenylpropanal, cinnamic acid, cinnamyl acetate, cinnamyl butyrate, 3-phenylpropyl isobutyrate, cinnamyl isovalerate, cinnamyl isobutyrate, ethyl cinnamate, methyl cinnamate and isopentyl cinnamate (‘substances concerned’) were authorised without a time limit in accordance with Directive 70/524/EEC as feed additives for all animal species. Those additives were subsequently entered in the Register of feed additives as existing products, in accordance with Article 10(1)(b) of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003.

                     (3)

                     In accordance with Article 10(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 in conjunction with Article 7 thereof, an application was submitted for the re-evaluation of the substances concerned as feed additives for all animal species. The applicant requested those additives to be classified in the additive category ‘sensory additives’ and in the functional group ‘flavouring compounds’. That application was accompanied by the particulars and documents required under Article 7(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003.

                     (4)

                     The European Food Safety Authority (‘the Authority’) concluded in its opinion of 6 December 2016 (3) that, under the proposed conditions of use, the substances concerned do not have adverse effects on animal health, human health or the environment. The Authority concluded that for the marine environment, the safe use level is estimated to be 0,05 mg/kg feed. The levels of use proposed for the substances concerned exceed the safe level for the marine environment, therefore, the use for marine animals is not authorised. The Authority also concluded in the opinion that the substances concerned are efficacious when used in food, as they increase the food smell or palatability. Therefore, that conclusion can be extrapolated to feed. The applicant withdrew the application for water for drinking, However, the substances concerned can be used within compound feeds which are subsequently administered via water.

                     (5)

                     The Authority concluded that hazards for the skin, eye contact and respiratory exposure are recognised. Most of the substances concerned are classified as irritating to the respiratory system. Consequently, appropriate protective measures should be taken. The Authority does not consider that there is a need for specific requirements of post-market monitoring. It also verified the report on the method of analysis of the feed additives in feed submitted by the Reference Laboratory set up by Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003.

                     (6)

                     The assessment of the substances concerned shows that the conditions for authorisation, as provided for in Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003, are satisfied. Accordingly, the use of those substances should be authorised as specified in the Annex to this Regulation.

                     (7)

                     Restrictions and conditions should be provided for to allow better control. Since safety reasons do not require the setting of a maximum content and taking into account the re-evaluation performed by the Authority, a recommended content should be indicated on the label of the additive. Where such content is exceeded, certain information should be indicated on the label of premixtures.

                     (8)

                     Since safety reasons do not require the immediate application of the modifications to the conditions of authorisation of the substances concerned, it is appropriate to allow a transitional period for interested parties to prepare themselves to meet the new requirements resulting from the authorisation.

                     (9)

                     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:

               Additional information from the narrative summary of reasons for listing provided by the Sanctions Committee:
               The Allied Democratic Forces (ADF) was created in 1995 and is located in the mountainous DRC-Uganda border area. According to the United Nations Group of Experts on the Democratic Republic of the Congo's (‘GoE’) 2013 final report, citing Ugandan officials and UN sources, in 2013 the ADF had an estimated strength of 1 200 to 1 500 armed fighters located in north-east Beni Territory of North Kivu province, close to the border with Uganda. These same sources estimate ADF's total membership — including women and children — to be between 1 600 and 2 500 . Due to offensive military operations by the Congolese Armed Forces (FARDC) and the UN Organization Stabilization Mission in the DRC (MONUSCO) conducted in 2013 and 2014, ADF dispersed its fighters to numerous smaller bases, and moved women and children to areas west of Beni, and along the Ituri-North Kivu border. The ADF's military commander is Hood Lukwago and its supreme leader is the sanctioned individual Jamil Mukulu.
               The ADF has committed serious violations of international law and UNSCR 2078 (2012), including as detailed below.
               The ADF has recruited and used child soldiers in violation of applicable international law (UNSCR paragraph 4 (d)).
               The GoE's 2013 final report stated that the GoE interviewed three former ADF fighters who had escaped during 2013 and who described how ADF recruiters in Uganda lure people to the DRC with false promises of employment (for adults) and free education (for children) and then force them to join the ADF. Also according to the GoE's report, former ADF fighters told the GoE that the ADF's training groups typically include adult men and boys and two boys who escaped from the ADF in 2013 told the GoE that they had received military training from the ADF. The GoE report also includes an account of ADF's training by a ‘former ADF child soldier’.
               According to the GoE's 2012 final report, the ADF recruits include children, as exemplified by the case of an ADF recruiter who was captured by Ugandan authorities in Kasese with six young boys on his way to the DRC in July 2012.
               A specific example of the ADF's recruitment and use of children is seen in a 6 January 2009 letter from the former Africa Director for Human Rights Watch, Georgette Gagnon, to Uganda's former Minister of Justice, Kiddhu Makubuyu, stating that a boy named Bushobozi Irumba was abducted at 9 years of age by the ADF in 2000. He was required to provide transport and other services to ADF fighters.
               In addition, ‘The Africa Report’ cited allegations that the ADF is allegedly recruiting children as young as 10 years of age as child soldiers and cited a Uganda People's Defence Force (UPDF) spokesperson as stating that the UPDF rescued 30 children from a training camp on Buvuma Island in Lake Victoria.
               The ADF has also committed numerous violations of international human rights and international humanitarian law against women and children, including killing, maiming, and sexual violence (UNSCR paragraph 4 (e)).
               According to the GoE 2013 final report, in 2013 the ADF attacked numerous villages, which prompted more than 66 000 people to flee into Uganda. These attacks depopulated a large area, which ADF has since controlled by abducting or killing people who return to their villages. Between July and September 2013, ADF decapitated at least five people in the Kamango area, shot several others, and kidnapped dozens more. These actions terrorized the local population and deterred people from returning home.
               The Global Horizontal Note, a monitoring and reporting mechanism of grave violations against children in situations of armed conflict, reported to the Security Council's Working Group on Children and Armed Conflict (CAAC) that during the October to December 2013 reporting period, ADF was responsible for 14 of the 18 child casualties documented, including in an incident on 11 December 2013, in Beni territory, North Kivu, when ADF attacked the village of Musuku, killing 23 people, including 11 children (three girls and eight boys), aged 2 months to 17 years. All victims had all been severely mutilated with machetes, including two children who survived the attack.
               The March 2014 Report of the Secretary General on Conflict Related Sexual Violence identifies the ‘Allied Democratic Forces — National Army for the Liberation of Uganda’ on its list of ‘Parties credibly suspected of committing or being responsible for rape or other forms of sexual violence in situations of armed conflict.’
               The ADF has also participated in attacks against MONUSCO peacekeepers (UNSCR paragraph 4 (i)).
               Finally, the United Nations Organization Stabilization Mission in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (MONUSCO) reported that ADF has conducted at least two attacks on MONUSCO peacekeepers. The first, on 14 July 2013, was an attack on a MONUSCO patrol on the road between Mbau and Kamango. This attack is detailed in the 2013 GoE final report. The second attack occurred on March 3, 2014. A MONUSCO vehicle was attacked with grenades ten kilometers from the Mavivi airport in Beni, resulting in injuries to five peacekeepers.
               ADF founder and leader, Jamil Mukulu, was arrested in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania in April 2015. He was subsequently extradited to Kampala, Uganda in July 2015. As of June 2016, he is being held in a police detention cell awaiting his trial.

                     Due to the fact that the assessment of those substances has been delayed for reasons beyond the control of the applicants, the approvals of those active substances are likely to expire before a decision is taken on their renewal. It is therefore necessary to extend their approval periods by one year.

                     (8)

                     As regards cases where a Regulation on the non-renewal of the approval of the active substances concerned is to be adopted because the approval criteria are not satisfied, the expiry date is either to be reset to the date applicable before the adoption of this Regulation or is to coincide with the date of entry into force of the Regulation on the non-renewal, whichever date is later. As regards cases where a Regulation on the renewal of the approval of the active substances concerned is to be adopted, the earliest possible application date is to be set, as the circumstances allow.

                     (9)

                     Implementing Regulation (EU) No 540/2011 should therefore be amended accordingly.

                     (10)

                     Taking into account the fact that the approvals of some of the substances expire on 31 October 2020, this Regulation should enter into force as soon as possible.

                     (11)

                     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:
