(Text with EEA relevance)

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,

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 the third subparagraph of Article 21 thereof,

Whereas:

(1) Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 establishes a Community procedure for authorising the placing on the market and use of feed additives in animal nutrition. It provides that any person seeking authorisation for a feed additive or a new use of a feed additive is to submit an application for authorisation to the Commission in accordance with that Regulation (the application).

(2) In addition, Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 provides for the establishment of a Community Reference Laboratory (CRL) to carry out certain duties and tasks set out in Annex II thereto. That Regulation also provides that the CRL may be assisted by a consortium of National Reference Laboratories.

(3) Regulation (EC) No 378/2005 lays down detailed rules for the implementation of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 as regards applications and the duties and tasks of the CRL.

(4) Article 4(1) to Regulation (EC) No 378/2005 provides that the CRL is to charge applicants a fee for each application (the fee). In addition, Annex II to that Regulation sets out a list of the consortium of National Reference Laboratories.

(5) The amount of the fee has never been adapted since the date of entry into force of Regulation (EC) No 378/2005 and should be increased to take account of experience gained since that date.

(6) The Czech Republic, Ireland, Hungary and Finland have informed the Commission that the name or certain details of their National Reference Laboratories taking part in the consortium have changed. Accordingly, the list in Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 378/2005 should be replaced by the list in the Annex to this Regulation.

(7) Regulation (EC) No 378/2005 should therefore be amended accordingly.

(8) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
