Description of content:The substances specified in this Act were initially entered in the Register of feed additives as existing products belonging to the functional group of flavouring compounds. Several applications were later submitted for the reauthorisation of these substances in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003. Further to the favorable assessment by the European Food Safety Authority, these substances are reauthorised as feed additives for all animal species, subject to certain conditions. A transition period is laid down for the interested parties to prepare themselves to meet the new requirements resulting from the authorisation.
