L 349/88 Official Journal of the European Union 21.12.2013 COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) No 1404/2013 of 20 December 2013 concerning the authorisation of a preparation of endo-1,4-beta-xylanase produced by Aspergillus niger (CBS 109.713) and endo-1,4-beta-glucanase produced by Aspergillus niger (DSM 18404) as a feed additive for pigs for fattening (holder of authorisation BASF SE) (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 (!), and in particular Article 9(2) thereof, Whereas: Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 provides for the auth- orisation of additives for use in animal nutrition and for the grounds and procedures for granting such auth- orisation. In accordance with Article 7 of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003, an application was submitted for a new use of a preparation of endo-1,4-beta-xylanase produced by Aspergillus niger (CBS 109.713) and endo- 1,4-beta-glucanase produced by Aspergillus niger (DSM 18404). That application was accompanied by the particulars and documents required under Article 7(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003. That application concerns the authorisation of a new use of a preparation of endo-1,4-beta-xylanase produced by Aspergillus  niger (CBS 109.713) and endo-1,4-beta- glucanase produced by Aspergillus niger (DSM 18404) as a feed additive for pigs for fattening, to be classified in the additive category ‘zootechnical additives’. The use of that preparation was authorised for 10 years for weaned piglets, chickens for fattening, laying hens, turkeys for fattening and ducks for fattening by () OJ L 268, 18.10.2003, p. 29. ) () Commission Regulation (EC) No 271/2009 (?) and for chickens reared for laying, turkeys for breeding purposes, turkeys reared for breeding, other minor avian species (other than ducks for fattening) and orna- mental birds by Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 1068/2011 (). The European Food Safety Authority (‘the Authority’) in its opinion of 18 June 2013 (%) confirmed its previous conclusions that, under the proposed conditions of use, the preparation of endo-1,4-beta-xylanase produced by Aspergillus  niger (CBS 109.713) and endo-1,4-beta- glucanase produced by Aspergillus niger (DSM 18404) does not have an adverse effect on animal health, human health or the environment. The Authority concluded that it has the potential to be efficacious in pigs for fattening. 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. The assessment of the preparation of endo-1,4-beta- xylanase produced by Aspergillus niger (CBS 109.713) and endo-1,4-beta-glucanase produced by Aspergillus niger (DSM 18404) shows that the conditions for auth- orisation, 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. The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health, Commission Regulation (EC) No 271/2009 of 2 April 2009 concerning the authorisation of a preparation of endo-1,4-beta- xylanase and endo-1,4-beta-glucanase as a feed additive for weaned piglets, chickens for fattening, laying hens, turkeys for fattening and ducks for fattening (holder of the authorisation BASF SE) (O] L 91, 3.4.2009, p. 5). Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 1068/2011 of 21 October 2011 concerning the authorisation of an enzyme prep- aration of endo-1,4-beta-xylanase produced by Aspergillus niger (CBS 109.713) and endo-1,4-beta-glucanase produced by Aspergillus niger (DSM 18404) as a feed additive for chickens reared for laying, turkeys for breeding purposes, turkeys reared for breeding, other minor avian species (other than ducks for fattening) and ornamental birds (holder of authorisation BASF SE) (O] L 277, 22.10.2011, p. 11).
