In accordance with Article 13(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003, the holder of the authorisations has proposed changing the terms of the authorisations of Saccharomyces cerevisiee NCYC Sc 47 as set out in the Regulations referred to in recital 1.

In accordance with Article 13(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003, the holder of the authorisation has proposed changing the terms of the authorisation of Bacillus subtilis DSM 17299 as set out in the Regulation referred to in recital 3. The opinions adopted by the European Food Safety Authority (the Authority’)) on the use of certain micro- organisms in feed were based on the Qualified Presumption of Safety (QPS) status of the micro- organisms concerned (‘Scientific Opinion on the main- tenance of the list of QPS biological agents intentionally added to food and feed (2011 update)’ (12)). The holders of the authorisations have proposed to delete the limi- tation concerning the maximum content of the micro- organisms  Saccharomyces cerevisiee NCYC Sc 47 and Bacillus subtilis DSM 17299 in complete feedingstuffs, on the basis that the maximum doses were not consistent with the QPS approach. In order to avoid market distortions it is appropriate to delete the limitation concerning the maximum content also as regards authorisations of other micro-organisms having the same QPS status. In accordance with Article 13(1) the Authority was requested to provide an opinion on the possibility to delete the maximum content for other micro-organisms having the same QPS status: Saccharomyces cerevisiae CNCM [-1077 authorised for 10 years by Commission Regulation (EC) No 1293/2008 () for lambs, by Commission Regulation (EC) No 226/2007 ('4) for dairy goats and dairy sheep and without a time limit by Commission Regulation (EC) No 1200/2005 (*%) for dairy cows and cattle for fattening; Saccharomyces cerevisiae CNCM [-1079 authorised without a time limit by Commission Regulation (EC) No 1847/2003 (*°) for piglets and by Commission Regulation (EC) No 20362005 (1) for sows; Saccharomyces cerevisiae CBS 493.94 authorised without a time limit by Commission L 256, 2.10.2007, p. 5.
