21.10.2014 Official Journal of the European Union L 301/19 COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) No 1109/2014 of 20 October 2014 concerning the authorisation of the preparation of Saccharomyces cerevisiae CBS 493.94 as a feed additive for cattle for fattening, minor ruminant species for fattening, dairy cows and minor dairy ruminant species and amending Regulations (EC) No 1288/2004 and (EC) No 1811/2005 (holder of authorisation Alltech France) (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: (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 of that Regulation provides for the re-evalu- ation of additives authorised pursuant to Council Directive 70/524/EEC (3. (2)  The preparation of Saccharomyces cerevisine CBS 493.94 was authorised in accordance with Directive 70/524/EEC without a time limit as a feed additive for calves and cattle for fattening by Commission Regulation (EC) No 1288/2004 (°) and for dairy cows by Commission Regulation (EC) No 1811/2005 (*). That preparation was subsequently entered in the Register of feed additives as an existing product, in accordance with Article 10(1)(b) of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003. That preparation was authorised for a period of 10 years for horses by Commission Regulation (EC) No 886/2009 (%). (3)  In accordance with Article 10(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 and in conjunction with Article 7 of the same Regulation, an application was submitted for the re-evaluation of the preparation of Saccharomyces cerevisiae CBS 493.94 as a feed additive for cattle for fattening, minor ruminant species for fattening, dairy cows and minor dairy ruminant species, requesting that additive to be classified in the additive category ‘zootechnical additives’. 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 8 April 2014 () that, under the proposed conditions of use, the preparation of Saccharomyces cerevisiae CBS 493.94 does not have an adverse effect on animal health, human health or the environment. The Authority also concluded that the use of the preparation has the potential to increase milk yield of dairy cows and that its efficacy can be extrapolated to minor dairy ruminant species. The Authority further concluded that the use of the preparation has the potential to improve the production of cattle raised for fattening and that this efficacy can be extrapolated to minor rumi- nant species raised 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. (5)  The assessment of the preparation of Saccharomyces cerevisiae CBS 493.94 shows that the conditions for authorisa- tion, as provided for in Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 18312003, are satisfied. Accordingly, the use of that preparation should be authorised as specified in the Annex to this Regulation. () OJL268,18.10.2003, p. 29.
