The additives concerned by this point 11 are additives which were authorised under Directive 70/524/EEC and are to be re-evaluated in accordance with Article 10(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 and which belong to the following groups:
antioxidant substances,
flavouring and appetising substances,
emulsifying and stabilising substances, thickeners and gelling agents,
colourants, including pigments,
preservatives,
vitamins, provitamins and chemically well-defined substances having similar effect,
trace elements,
binder, anti-caking agents and coagulants,
acidity regulators, and
radionuclide binders.
The level and quality of risk evaluation for these additives shall be similar to other additives. However, due to their long history of safe use, data from studies already published may be used, under provisions provided by this Regulation, to show that the additive remains safe under the approved conditions for the target species, consumers, users and the environment.
The whole of Section I of Annex II applies.
The Section II of Annex II applies as following:
for additives not subject to a specific holder of the authorisation the paragraphs 2.1.2, 2.1.3, 2.1.4, 2.1.4.2, 2.2, 2.3.1, 2.3.2, 2.4.1, 2.4.2, 2.4.4, 2.5, 2.6 apply;
for other additives subject to a specific holder of the authorisation, the whole of Section II applies.
Where an additive has been assessed for safety for target species, consumers, users/workers and the environment, a summary of the safety studies submitted for the previous authorisation, plus any new information arising since the previous authorisation shall be provided. Where a formal safety assessment has not been undertaken for the use of the substance as a feed additive, studies and data from the scientific literature can be used provided it is equivalent to that which would be required in a new application. Otherwise, a complete set of safety studies shall be provided.
Where appropriate, the compliance with the requirement of efficacy provided for in Article 5(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 may be demonstrated by submission of material other than studies, in particular relating to the long history of use.
This section of Annex II shall apply under provision of Article 7(3) (g) of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003.
