Description of content: The authorization of the feed additive covered by the Act was renewed for a 10-year period for chickens for fattening, turkeys for fattening, other poultry and pigs by Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/1070. The act concerning the renewal of authorization includes a characterization of the active substance of the additive which is slightly different from the specifications laid down in the previous authorization act for that additive. However, no transitional measures were provided for in Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/1070 in order to allow interested parties to adapt to the new terms of authorization. Therefore, Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2040 is amending Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/1070 by including such transitional measures and that amendment applies retroactively from the date of entry into force of Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/1070 in order to prevent market disturbance and detrimental consequences for the operators concerned. |
