         COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) 2015/1020
   of 29 June 2015
   concerning the authorisation of the preparation of Bacillus subtilis (ATCC PTA-6737) as a feed additive for laying hens and minor poultry species for laying (holder of the authorisation Kemin Europa NV)
   (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.

               (2)

               In accordance with Article 7 of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003, an application was submitted for a new use of the preparation Bacillus subtilis (ATCC PTA-6737). That application was accompanied by the particulars and documents required under Article 7(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003.

               (3)

               The application concerns the authorisation of a new use of the preparation of Bacillus subtilis (ATCC PTA-6737) as a feed additive for laying hens and minor poultry species for laying, to be classified in the additive category ‘zootechnical additives’.

               (4)

               The preparation of Bacillus subtilis (ATCC PTA-6737), belonging to the additive category of ‘zootechnical additives’, was authorised for 10 years as a feed additive for chickens for fattening by Commission Regulation (EU) No 107/2010 (2), for chickens reared for laying, ducks for fattening, quails, pheasants, partridges, guinea fowl, pigeons, geese for fattening and ostriches by Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 885/2011 (3), for weaned piglets and weaned Suidae other than Sus scrofa domesticus by Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 306/2013 (4) and for turkeys for fattening and turkeys reared for breeding by Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 787/2013 (5).

               (5)

               The European Food Safety Authority (‘the Authority’) concluded in its opinion of 11 December 2014 (6) that, under the proposed conditions of use, the preparation of Bacillus subtilis (ATCC PTA-6737) does not have an adverse effect on animal health, human health and the environment. It also concluded that the additive has some evidence of beneficial effects on egg production in laying hens. This conclusion can be extended to minor poultry species for laying. 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 additive in feed submitted by the Reference Laboratory set up by Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003.

               (6)

               The assessment of the preparation of Bacillus subtilis (ATCC PTA-6737) shows that the conditions for authorisation, as provided for in Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003, are satisfied. Accordingly, the use of that preparation should be authorised as specified in the Annex to this Regulation.

               (7)

               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 preparation specified in the Annex, belonging to the additive category ‘zootechnical additives’ and to the functional group ‘gut flora stabilisers’, is authorised as an additive in animal nutrition subject to the conditions laid down in that Annex.
   Article 2
   This Regulation shall enter into force on the twentieth 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.
      Done at Brussels, 29 June 2015.

   amending Regulation (EC) No 606/2009 laying down certain detailed rules for implementing Council Regulation (EC) No 479/2008 as regards the categories of grapevine products, oenological practices and the applicable restrictions
   THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
   Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
   Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 of 22 October 2007 establishing a common organisation of agricultural markets and on specific provisions for certain agricultural products (‘Single CMO Regulation’) (1), and in particular the third and fourth paragraphs of Article 121 thereof,
   Whereas:

               (1)

               In accordance with Article 3 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 606/2009 (2), the authorised oenological practices are laid down in Annex I to that Regulation. The International Organisation of Vine and Wine (OIV) has amended the conditions of use of certain oenological practices already authorised in the European Union. In order to meet the international standards in this field and to provide EU producers with the same possibilities available to third-country producers, the conditions of use of these oenological practices should be amended in the EU in accordance with the conditions of use defined by the OIV.

               (2)

               Regulation (EC) No 606/2009 authorises the use of polyvinylimidazole/polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVI/PVP) copolymers in order to reduce the copper, iron and heavy metal content, provided that they comply with the requirements of the International Oenological Codex published by the OIV, especially as regards the maximum monomer content. As the OIV has not yet adopted such requirements, and for the sake of legal clarity, this practice should be deleted from Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 606/2009.

               (3)

               Regulation (EC) No 606/2009 authorises the use of chitosan and chitin-glucan of fungoid origin. At present in the EU, these products are only prepared from the Aspergillus niger mushroom. As the OIV authorises these products and the International Oenological Codex published by the OIV specifies that they derive from the Aspergillus niger mushroom, this information should be included in Regulation (EC) No 606/2009.

               (4)

               Wines entitled to the protected designation of origin ‘Douro’ and the protected geographical indication ‘Duriense’ followed by the statement ‘colheita tardia’ derogate from the maximum sulphur dioxide content. Portugal has requested that all Portuguese wines that have the same characteristics as these wines and are entitled to a protected designation of origin or a protected geographical indication followed by the statement ‘colheita tardia’ be granted this derogation. A maximum sulphur dioxide content of 400 milligrams per litre should be authorised for these wines.

               (5)

               As the traditional specific term ‘vino generoso’ no longer applies solely to liqueur wines, the provision on the use of this term referred to in point 8 of Part B of Annex III to Regulation (EC) No 606/2009 should be adapted.

               (6)

               Regulation (EC) No 606/2009 should be amended accordingly.

               (7)

               The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Regulatory Committee established by Article 195(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007,

         HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
   Article 1
   Regulation (EC) No 606/2009 is amended as follows:

               (a)

               Annex I A is amended in accordance with Annex I to this Regulation;

   of 1 June 2012
   amending the Annex to Regulation (EU) No 37/2010 on pharmacologically active substances and their classification regarding maximum residue limits in foodstuffs of animal origin, as regards the substance clorsulon
   (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 470/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 6 May 2009 laying down Community procedures for the establishment of residue limits of pharmacologically active substances in foodstuffs of animal origin, repealing Council Regulation (EEC) No 2377/90 and amending Directive 2001/82/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council and Regulation (EC) No 726/2004 of the European Parliament and the Council (1), and in particular Article 14 in conjunction with Article 17 thereof,
   Having regard to the opinion of the European Medicines Agency formulated by the Committee for Medicinal Products for Veterinary Use,
   Whereas:

               (1)

               The maximum residue limit (MRL) for pharmacologically active substances intended for use in the Union in veterinary medicinal products for food-producing animals or in biocidal products used in animal husbandry should be established in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 470/2009.

               (2)

               Pharmacologically active substances and their classification regarding MRLs in foodstuffs of animal origin are set out in the Annex to Commission Regulation (EU) No 37/2010 of 22 December 2009 on pharmacologically active substances and their classification regarding MRLs in foodstuffs of animal origin (2).

               (3)

               Clorsulon is currently included in Table 1 of the Annex to Regulation (EU) No 37/2010 as an allowed substance, for bovine species, applicable to muscle, liver and kidney, excluding animals producing milk for human consumption.

               (4)

               Ireland has submitted to the European Medicines Agency a request for an opinion for the extrapolation of the existing entry for clorsulon applicable to bovine milk.

               (5)

               The Committee for Medicinal Products for Veterinary Use (CVMP) has recommended the establishment of a provisional MRL for clorsulon for bovine milk and the removal of the provision banning the use of that substance in animals from which milk is produced for human consumption.

               (6)

               The entry for clorsulon in Table 1 of the Annex to Regulation (EU) No 37/2010 should therefore be amended to include the recommended provisional MRL for bovine milk and to remove the existing ban.

               (7)

               The provisional MRL for clorsulon set out in that Table should expire on 1 January 2014. The CVMP recommended a two-year period to allow for the completion of scientific studies required to respond to the list of questions addressed by the CVMP to Ireland.

               (8)

               It is appropriate to provide for a reasonable period of time for the stakeholders concerned to take measures that may be required to comply with the newly set MRL.

               (9)

               The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Veterinary Medicinal Products,

         HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
   Article 1
   The Annex to Regulation (EU) No 37/2010 is amended as set out in the Annex to this Regulation.

               (1)

               Pursuant to the first subparagraph of Article 53(1) of Regulation (EU) No 1151/2012, the Commission has examined Slovenia's application for the approval of amendments to the specification for the protected designation of origin ‘Ekstra deviško oljčno olje Slovenske Istre’, registered under Commission Regulation (EC) No 148/2007 (2).

               (2)

   amending Commission Regulation (EC) No 378/2005 as regards the Community Reference Laboratory reports, fees and the laboratories listed in Annex II thereto
   (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 the first subparagraph of Article 7(4) and the third paragraph of Article 21 thereof,
   After consulting the European Food Safety Authority,
   Whereas:

               (1)

               Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 establishes the procedure for authorising the placing on the market and use of feed additives in animal nutrition. It provides that any person seeking authorisation for a feed additive or a new use of a feed additive is to submit an application for authorisation in accordance with that Regulation.

               (2)

               Commission Regulation (EC) No 378/2005 (2) lays down detailed rules for the implementation of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 as regards applications for authorisation of a feed additive or for a new use of a feed additive and the duties and tasks of the Community Reference Laboratory (‘CRL’).

               (3)

               Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 378/2005 provides that the CRL is to submit a full evaluation report to the European Food Safety Authority (‘the Authority’) for each application for authorisation of a feed additive. Exceptions to the requirement to submit an evaluation report are made for applications for a new use of a feed additive or applications for changing the terms of an existing authorisation, provided that the proposed conditions for the new use or for the change in the terms of the authorisation fall within the scope of the method of analysis previously submitted in accordance with the requirements laid down in Annex II to Commission Regulation (EC) No 429/2008 (3) and already evaluated. Furthermore, Article 4 of that Regulation provides that the CRL is to charge applicants fees for submitting applications for authorisation. Exception is made where no samples are required and the CRL does not need to issue a report, as the method of analysis has already been evaluated. However, applications for renewal of authorisations of feed additives do not benefit from those exceptions.

               (4)

               Experience has shown that the exceptions to the requirements concerning evaluation reports and submission fees should also be extended to the applications for renewal of authorisations of feed additives. Article 5 of and Annex IV to Regulation (EC) No 378/2005 should therefore be amended accordingly.

               (5)

               Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 378/2005 sets out a list of national reference laboratories assisting the CRL in its duties and tasks. Several Member States have informed the Commission that their national reference laboratories taking part in the consortium have changed because other laboratories have been designated for that purpose or the name or address of the laboratories have changed. Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 378/2005 should therefore be adapted accordingly.

               (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
   Regulation (EC) No 378/2005 is amended as follows:

               (1)

               Article 5(4) is replaced by the following:
               ‘4.   An evaluation report shall not be required for:

                           applications for a new use of a feed additive submitted in accordance with Article 4(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003, when the proposed conditions for placing the feed additive on the market for the new use fall within the scope of the method of analysis previously submitted in accordance with paragraph 2.6 of Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 429/2008 and already evaluated by the CRL;

                           (b)

                           applications for changing the terms of an existing authorisation submitted in accordance with Article 13(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003, when the proposed change or the new conditions for placing the feed additive on the market fall within the scope of the method of analysis previously submitted in accordance with paragraph 2.6 of Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 429/2008 and already evaluated by the CRL;

                           (c)

                           applications for renewal of an existing authorisation submitted in accordance with Article 14 of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003, when the conditions for placing the feed additive on the market fall within the scope of the method of analysis previously submitted in accordance with paragraph 2.6 of Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 429/2008 and already evaluated by the CRL.

                     Notwithstanding paragraph 4, the Commission, the CRL or the Authority may, on the basis of legitimate factors relevant to the application, consider that a new evaluation of the methods of analysis is necessary. In such cases the applicant shall be informed by the CRL.’;
