(2 Article 25 of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 lays down transitional measures for applications for the authori- sation of feed additives submitted in accordance with Directive 70/524/EEC before the date of application of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003. (3)  The applications for authorisation of the additives listed in the Annexes to this Regulation were submitted before the date of application of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003. (4)  Initial comments on those applications, as provided for in Article 4(4) of Directive 70/524/EEC, were forwarded to the Commission before the date of application of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003.

Directive as last amended by 1800/2004 (O] L 317, (5)  The use of the enzyme preparation of endo-1,3(4)-beta- glucanase produced by Aspergillus niger (MUCL 39199) was provisionally authorised for the first time for chickens for fattening, by Commission Regulation (EC) No 1436/98 (}). New data were submitted in support of an application for authorisation without a time limit of that enzyme preparation. The assessment shows that the conditions laid down in Article 3a of Directive 70/524[EEC for such authorisation are satisfied. Accordingly, the use of that enzyme preparation, as specified in Annex I, should be authorised without a time limit. (6)  The use of the enzyme preparation of endo-1,3(4)-beta- glucanase produced by Aspergillus aculeatus (CBS 589.94), endo-1,4-beta-glucanase produced by Trichoderma longi- brachiatum (CBS 592.94), alpha-amylase produced by Bacillus amyloliquefaciens (DSM 9553) and endo-1,4-beta- xylanase produced by Trichoderma viride (NIBH FERM BP 4842) is authorised for chickens for fattening without a time limit by Commission Regulation (EC) No 358/2005 (%), and provisionally for turkeys for fattening by Commission Regulation (EC) No 2013/2001 (°). New data were submitted in support of an application to extend the authorisation of the use of this enzyme preparation to laying hens. The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) has delivered an opinion on the use of this preparation which concludes that it does not present a risk for this additional animal category. The assessment shows that the conditions laid down in Article 9e(1) of Directive 70/524/EEC for an authori- sation of that preparation for that use are satisfied. Accordingly, the use of that enzyme preparation, as specified in Annex II, should be authorised for four years. (7)  The use of the enzyme preparation of endo-1,4-beta- xylanase produced by Trichoderma longibrachiatum (ATCC 2105), endo-1,3(4)-beta-glucanase produced by Trichoderma longibrachiatum (ATCC 2106) is authorised for chickens for fattening without a time limit by Commission Regulation (EC) No 833/2005 (5. New data were submitted in support of an application to extend the authorisation of the use of this enzyme preparation to turkeys for fattening. EFSA has delivered an opinion on the use of this preparation which concludes that it does not present a risk for this addi- tional animal category.
