| THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION, | IL-KUMMISSJONI EWROPEA, |
| Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, | Wara li kkunsidrat it-Trattat dwar il-Funzjonament tal-Unjoni Ewropea, |
| 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 [1], and in particular Article 9(2) thereof, | Wara li kkunsidrat ir-Regolament (KE) Nru 1831/2003 tal-Parlament Ewropew u tal-Kunsill tat-22 ta’ Settembru 2003 dwar l-addittivi għall-użu fl-għalf tal-annimali [1], u b’mod partikolari l-Artikolu 9(2) tiegħu, |
| Whereas: | Billi: |
| 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. | Ir-Regolament (KE) Nru 1831/2003 jipprevedi l-awtorizzazzjoni ta’ addittivi għall-użu fin-nutriment tal-annimali u għar-raġunijiet u l-proċeduri għall-għoti ta’ awtorizzazzjoni bħal din. |
| Article 10(7) of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 in conjunction with Article 10(1) to (4) thereof sets out specific provisions for the evaluation of products used in the Union as silage additives at the date that Regulation became applicable. | L-Artikolu 10(7) tar-Regolament (KE) Nru 1831/2003 flimkien mal-Artikolu 10, minn (1) sa (4), tiegħu jistipula dispożizzjonijiet speċifiċi għall-evalwazzjoni tal-prodotti użati fl-Unjoni bħala addittivi tal-furrajna minn dakinhar li daħal fis-seħħ ir-Regolament. |
| In accordance with Article 10(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003, a preparation of Propionibacterium acidipropionici (CNCM MA 26/4U), hereinafter ‘the preparation’, was entered in the Community Register of Feed Additives as an existing product belonging to the functional group of silage additives, for all animal species. | Skont l-Artikolu 10(1) tar-Regolament (KE) Nru 1831/2003, preparazzjoni ta’ Propionibacterium acidipropionici (CNCM MA 26/4U), minn hawn ‘il quddiem “preparazzjoni”, ġiet irreġistrata fir-Reġistru Komunitarju tal-Addittivi fl-Għalf bħala prodott eżistenti li jappartjeni għall-grupp funzjonali ta’ addittivi tal-furrajna, għall-ispeċijiet kollha tal-annimali. |
| In accordance with Article 10(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 in conjunction with Article 7 thereof, an application was submitted for the authorisation of the preparation as a feed additive for all animal species, requesting that additive to be classified in the category ‘technological additives’ and in the functional group ‘silage additives’. | Skont l-Artikolu 10(2) tar-Regolament (KE) Nru 1831/2003 flimkien mal-Artikolu 7 tiegħu, tressqet applikazzjoni għall-awtorizzazzjoni tal-preparazzjoni bħala addittiv fl-għalf għall-ispeċijiet tal-annimali kollha, bit-talba li l-addittiv jiġi kklassifikat fil-kategorija “addittivi teknoloġiċi” u fil-grupp funzjonali “addittivi tal-furrajna”. |
| That application was accompanied by the particulars and documents required under Article 7(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003. | Din l-applikazzjoni kienet akkumpanjata mid-dettalji u d-dokumenti meħtieġa skont l-Artikolu 7(3) tar-Regolament (KE) Nru 1831/2003. |
| The European Food Safety Authority (the Authority) concluded in its opinion of 25 April 2012 [2]that, under the proposed conditions of use, the preparation does not have an adverse effect on animal health, human health or the environment, and that the use of the preparation has the potential to improve the aerobic stability of the treated silage. | L-Awtorità Ewropea dwar is-Sigurtà fl-Ikel (“l-Awtorità”) ikkonkludiet fl-opinjoni tagħha tal-25 ta’ April 2012 [2]li, skont il-kundizzjonijiet proposti tal-użu, il-preparazzjoni ma għandhiex effett negattiv fuq saħħet l-annimali, saħħet il-bniedem jew l-ambjent, u li l-użu tal-preparazzjoni għandha l-potenzjal li ttejjeb l-istabbiltà aerobika tal-furrajna ttrattata. |
| The Authority does not consider that there is a need for specific requirements of post-market monitoring. | L-Awtorità tqis li ma hemmx bżonn ta’ rekwiżiti speċifiċi ta’ monitoraġġ għal wara t-tqegħid fis-suq. |
| It also verified the report on the method of analysis of the feed additive in feed submitted by the Community Reference Laboratory set up by Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003. | Hija vverifikat ukoll ir-rapport dwar il-metodu ta’ analiżi tal-addittiv tal-għalf fl-għalf imressaq mil-Laboratorju ta’ Referenza Komunitarju stabbilit permezz tar-Regolament (KE) Nru 1831/2003. |
| The assessment of the preparation shows that the conditions for authorisation, as provided for in Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003, are satisfied. | Il-valutazzjoni tal-preparazzjoni turi li l-kundizzjonijiet għall-awtorizzazzjoni, kif previsti fl-Artikolu 5 tar-Regolament (KE) Nru 1831/2003, huma ssodisfati. |
| Accordingly, the use of the preparation should be authorised as specified in the Annex to this Regulation. | Għaldaqstant, l-użu tal-preparazzjoni għandu jiġi awtorizzat kif speċifikat fl-Anness ta’ dan ir-Regolament. |
| Since safety reasons do not require the immediate application of the modifications to the conditions of authorisation, it is appropriate to allow a transitional period for interested parties to prepare themselves to meet the new requirements resulting from the authorisation. | Minħabba li r-raġunijiet ta’ sikurezza ma jeħtiġux l-applikazzjoni immedjata tal-modifiki fil-kundizzjonijiet tal-awtorizzazzjoni, huwa xieraq li jitħalla perjodu tranżitorju sabiex il-partijiet interessati jħejju ruħhom biex jilħqu r-rekwiżiti l-ġodda li jirriżultaw mill-awtorizzazzjoni. |
| The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health, | Il-miżuri stipulati f’dan ir-Regolament huma skont l-opinjoni tal-Kumitat Permanenti dwaril-Katina Alimentari u s-Saħħa tal-Annimali, |
