Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2021/658 concerning the authorisation of essential oil from Origanum vulgare L. subsp. hirtum (Link) letsw. Var. Vulkan (DOS 00001) as a feed additive for all animal species |
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 4(1) of that Regulation provides for the authorisation of additives. In accordance with Article 4(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 in conjunction with Article 7 thereof, an application was submitted for the authorisation of essential oil from Origanum vulgare L. subsp. hirtum (Link) letsw. Var. Vulkan (DOS 00001) as a feed additive for all animal species. The applicant requested the additive to be classified in the additive category 'sensory additives'. That application was accompanied by the particulars and documents required under Article 7(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003. The European Food Safety Authority ('the Authority') concluded in its opinions of 29 November 2017 and 4 July 2019 that, under the proposed conditions of use, the essential oil from Origanum vulgare L. subsp. hirtum (Link) letsw. Var. Vulkan (DOS 00001) does not have an adverse effect on animal health, consumer health or the environment. It also concluded that the additive is considered as a potential irritant to skin and eye and a potential respiratory and skin sensitiser in susceptible individuals. 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 does not consider that there is a need for specific requirements of post-market monitoring. It also verified the report on the methods of analysis of the feed additives in feed submitted by the Reference Laboratory set up by Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003.
