#32026R1115EU updates feed additive application forms and animal category rules
AI-generated summary for informational purposes only. Not legal advice. See the original source for the authoritative text.
This regulation modernizes the EU application process for feed additive authorisations. It updates the application form used by companies seeking approval to market or use feed additives, reflecting the shift from paper or scanned submissions to the Commission’s electronic submission system. It also updates how target animal species and categories are named in the rules. This should make applications clearer, especially for additives intended for animals beyond the main food-producing species. Feed additive producers and applicants should expect a more streamlined digital form and clearer terminology when defining the animals covered by an application.

Obligations
What this law requires
Persons seeking authorisation for a feed additive, or authorisation for a new use of a feed additive, must submit an application for authorisation to the European Commission in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 and the implementing rules in Regulation (EC) No 429/2008 as amended.
Applicants for feed additive authorisations must use the prescribed application form set out in Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 429/2008, as updated by this Regulation, when submitting applications.
Feed additive authorisation applications must be submitted through the European Commission’s electronic submission system rather than as physical or scanned documents.
