Title	: Commission Implementing Regulation EU) 2021/426 of 10 March 2021 correcting Implementing Regulation (EU) No 1263/2011 as regards the authorisation of Lactococcus lactis (NCIMB 30160) as a feed additive for all animal species
Summary	The use of the preparation of Lactococcus lactis NCIMB 30160 as a feed additive was authorised for all animal species by Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 1263/2011 for a 10- year period. The authorisation was subsequently modified by Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2020/1092 in accordance with Article 13(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003, as regards the formulation of the additive. The intended modification did not concern the period of authorisation laid down in Implementing Regulation (EU) No 1263/2011, which was to run until 26 December 2021. However, in the Annex to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2020/1092, it was mistakenly indicated that the period of authorisation for Lactococcus lactis NCIMB 30160 was to run until 16 August 2030. That error was therefore inserted in Implementing Regulation (EU) No 1263/2011 through Implementing Regulation (EU) 2020/1092. For reasons of clarity and legal certainty, it is therefore necessary to correct Implementing Regulation (EU) No 1263/2011 as regards the end of period of authorisation for Lactococcus lactis NCIMB 30160. Implementing Regulation (EU) 2020/1092 provided that the modification to be brought to the terms of the authorisation of the additive Lactococcus lactis NCIMB 30160 only concerned the formulation of the additive. No reference was made to the need to modify the period of authorisation of that additive. In addition, Article 9(8) of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 prescribes that authorisations are granted for a period of 10 years and such rule may not be derogated from through a modification to the terms of an authorisation. Moreover, the Register of feed additives continued to mention the date of 26 December 2021 as the expiry date of the authorisation of the additive Lactococcus lactis NCIMB 30160, even after the adoption of Implementing Regulation (EU) 2020/1092. The absence of retroactive effect of the proposed correction would lead to a breach of the principle of non- discrimination between operators, as the granting of an extended period of authorisation from the date of entry.
