Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 provides for the authorisation of additives for use in animal nutrition and for the grounds and procedures for granting and renewing such authorisation.

(2)

A preparation of 6-phytase produced by Trichoderma reesei CBS 122001 was authorised for 10 years as a feed additive for poultry for fattening and breeding other than turkeys for fattening, for poultry for laying and for pigs other than sows by Commission Regulation (EU) No 277/2010 (2), for turkeys by Commission Regulation (EU) No 891/2010 (3) and for sows by Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 886/2011 (4).

(3)

In accordance with Article 14(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003, an application was submitted for the renewal of the authorisation of the preparation of 6-phytase produced by Trichoderma reesei CBS 122001 as feed additive for poultry for fattening, breeding and laying, and pigs in the additive category ‘zootechnical additives’ and in the functional group ‘digestibility enhancers’. The application was accompanied by the particulars and documents required under Article 14(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003.

(4)

The European Food Safety Authority (‘the Authority’) concluded in its opinion of 18 November 2020 (5) that the applicant had provided data demonstrating that the additive complies with the conditions of authorisation under the proposed conditions of use. The Authority confirmed its previous conclusions that the preparation of 6-phytase produced by Trichoderma reesei CBS 122001 does not have an adverse effect on animal health, consumer health or the environment. It also stated that the additive should be considered a potential respiratory sensitiser. Therefore, the Commission considers that appropriate protective measures should be taken to prevent adverse effects on human health, in particular as regards the users of the additive. The Authority 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 6-phytase produced by Trichoderma reesei (CBS 122001) shows that the conditions for authorisation, as provided for in Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003, are satisfied. Accordingly, the authorisation of this additive should be renewed as specified in the Annex to this Regulation.

(6)

As a consequence of the renewal of the authorisation of the preparation of 6-phytase produced by Trichoderma reesei CBS 122001 as a feed additive under the conditions laid down in the Annex to this Regulation, Regulations (EU) No 277/2010, (EU) No 891/2010 and Implementing Regulation (EU) No 886/2011 should be repealed.

(7)

As regards the composition of this additive, minor changes have been applied to the manufacturing during the last years to improve the fermentation process. Since safety reasons do not require the immediate application of the modifications to the conditions of authorisation for the preparation of 6-phytase produced by Trichoderma reesei CBS 122001, it is appropriate to provide a transitional period for interested parties to prepare themselves to meet the new requirements resulting from the renewal of the authorisation.

The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Plants, Animals, Food and Feed,
