Two anise tinctures and anise essential oil from Pimpinella anisum L. were initially authorised in accordance with Directive 70/524/EEC as feed additives for all animal species in the category of ‘sensory additives’ and in the functional group ‘flavouring compounds’. Applications were later submitted for the reauthorisation of these substances in accordance with article 10 of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003. Based on the conclusions of the scientific assessments of the dossiers submitted by the applicants, conducted by the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA), it is proposed to reauthorise these substances as feed additives for certain animal species in the additive category of ‘sensory additives’ and in the functional group ‘flavouring compounds’, under certain conditions detailed in the Annex to the draft Act. In addition, the proposed measure aims to withdraw the placing on the market of these substances in respect of the animal species and categories other than those mentioned in the Annex. Transitional periods are laid down for the interested parties to prepare themselves to meet the requirement concerning the new authorisation of the concerned substances and their withdrawal from the market in respect of the animal species and categories other than those mentioned in the Annex.
