THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,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 nutritionnote, and in particular Article 9(2) thereof,Whereas:
(1)Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2393note renewed the authorisation of sodium bisulphate for a period of 10 years as a feed additive for use for all animal species other than aquatic animals in the category ‘technological additives’, functional group ‘preservatives’ and for all terrestrial animal species other than cats, mink, pets and other non-food-producing animals in the additive category ‘technological additives’, functional group ‘acidity regulators’. It also repealed Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2015/1416note.
(2)However, Implementing Regulation (EU) 2015/1416 was erroneously repealed since the use of sodium bisulphate was authorised until 10 September 2025 by that Implementing Regulation for aquatic animals as a feed additive belonging to the category ‘technological additives’ and the functional group ‘preservatives’, and for food-producing aquatic animals as a feed additive belonging to the category ‘technological additives’ and the functional group ‘acidity regulators’.
(3)Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2393 should therefore be corrected by deleting the provision repealing Implementing Regulation (EU) 2015/1416 and by amending Implementing Regulation (EU) 2015/1416 to specify the animal categories for which the use of sodium bisulphate remains authorised until 10 September 2025.
(4)To prevent market disturbance and detrimental consequences for the operators concerned due to the erroneous repeal of Implementing Regulation (EU) 2015/1416, this Regulation should enter into force as a matter of urgency and apply retroactively from the date of entry into force of Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2393.
(5)The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Plants, Animals, Food and Feed,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
