Title Commission Implemening Regulation 2021/420 of 9 March 2021 correcting Implementing Regulation (EU) 2020/1097 concerning the authorisation of lutein-rich and lutein/zeaxanthin extracts from Tagetes erecta as feed additives for poultry (except turkeys) for fattening and laying and for minor poultry species for fattening and laying
Summary

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(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 provides for the reevaluation of additives authorised pursuant to Council Directive 70/524/EEC and Article 4 for the authorisation of a new use of an additive. Lutein-rich and lutein/zeaxanthin extracts from Tagetes erecta were authorised by Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2020/1097 concerning the authorisation of lutein-rich and lutein/zeaxanthin extracts from Tagetes erecta as feed additives for poultry (except turkeys) for fattening and laying and for minor poultry species for fattening and laying. The European Food Safety Authority ("the Authority") concluded in its opinion of 3 April 2019 that the maximum proposed use level of 80 mg total carotenoids/kg of complete feed for lutein-rich and lutein/zeaxanthin extracts is safe for poultry for fattening (except turkeys), minor poultry for fattening, poultry for laying (except turkeys) and minor poultry for laying. By mistake, the heading of the sixth and seventh columns of the Annex to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2020/1097 refers to "mg of active substance of kg of complete feeding stuff with a moisture content of 12 %". That reference is not correct as the EFSA opinion refers to the "total carotenoids". It is therefore appropriate to correct the heading of the sixth and seventh columns of the table in the Annex to that Implementing Regulation to reflect the wording appearing in the EFSA opinion of 3 April 2019. The references to "poultry for fattening (except turkeys)" and "poultry for laying, (except turkeys)" have been modified to "chickens for fattening" and "laying hens". This change does not affect or modify the categories of animals currently authorised, as the term "poultry" covers turkeys for laying and fattening, chickens for fattening and laying hens. Therefore, it is more appropriate to refer directly to chickens for fattening and laying hens.
