20.3.2012 Official Journal of the European Union L 80/1 (Non-legislative acts) REGULATIONS COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) No 237/2012 of 19 March 2012 concerning the authorisation of alpha-galactosidase (EC 3.2.1.22) produced by Saccharomyces cerevisize (CBS 615.94) and endo-1,4-beta-glucanase (EC 3.2.1.4) produced by Aspergillus niger (CBS 120604) as a feed additive for chickens for fattening (holder of authorisation Kerry Ingredients and Flavours) (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 auth- orisation of additives for use in animal nutrition and for the grounds and procedures for granting such auth- orisation. (20 In accordance with Article 7 of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003, an application was submitted for the auth- orisation of alpha-galactosidase (EC 3.2.1.22) produced by Saccharomyces cerevisiae (CBS 615.94) and endo-1,4- beta-glucanase (EC 3.2.1.4) produced by Aspergillus niger (CBS 120604). 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 alpha- galactosidase (EC 3.2.1.22) produced by Saccharomyces cerevisiae (CBS 615.94) and endo-1,4-beta-glucanase (EC 3.2.1.4) produced by Aspergillus niger (CBS 120604) as a feed additive for chickens for fattening, to be classified in the additive category ‘zootechnical additives'. () O] L 268, 18.10.2003, p. 29. (4)  The European Food Safety Authority (the Authority) concluded in its opinion of 17 November 2011 (3 that, under the proposed conditions of use, the prep- aration of alpha-galactosidase (EC 3.2.1.22) produced by Saccharomyces cerevisiae (CBS 615.94) and endo-1,4- beta-glucanase (EC 3.2.1.4) produced by Aspergillus niger (CBS 120604) does not have an adverse effect on animal health, human health or the environment, and that its use can improve the final body weight in chickens for fattening. The Authority does not consider that there is a need for specific requirements of post-market moni- toring. 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 alpha-galactosidase (EC 3.2.1.22) produced by Saccharomyces cerevisiae (CBS 615.94) and endo-1,4-beta-glucanase (EC 3.2.1.4) produced by Aspergillus niger (CBS 120604) shows that the conditions for authorisation, as provided for in Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003, are satisfied. Accordingly, the use of this preparation should be auth- orised as specified in the Annex to this Regulation. (6)  The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health, HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION: Article 1 The preparation specified in the Annex, belonging to the additive category ‘zootechnical additives' and to the functional group ‘digestibility enhancers’, is authorised as an additive in animal nutrition, subject to the conditions laid down in that Annex.
