What the notification says

The substance covered by the Act was still authorised without a time limit as a feed additive for all animal species other than ruminants for milk production or reproduction, weaned piglets of porcine species, porcine species for fattening, salmonids and chickens for fattening. An application was submitted for the reauthorisation of this substance for the species mentioned above in accordance with article 10 of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003. Based on the favourable conclusions of a scientific assessment of the dossier submitted by the applicant, conducted by the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA), this substance is reauthorised as a feed additive for the species mentioned above in the additive category ‘technological additives’ and in the functional groups ‘binders’, under certain conditions detailed in the Annex to the Act. In addition, Implementing Regulation (EU) 2023/263 is amended to increase the maximum content of the additive in complete feed for salmonids and chickens for fattening.

  1. CorrigendumG/SPS/N/EU/915/Corr.1

    Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2026/1751 of 20 July 2026 correcting Implementing Regulation (EU) 2026/154 as regards transitional measures

    This corrigendum corrects an error in Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2026/154 of 23 January 2026 concerning the authorisation of sepiolitic clay as a feed additive for all animal species other than ruminants for milk production or reproduction, weaned piglets of porcine species, porcine species for fattening, salmonids and chickens for fattening and amending Implementing Regulation (EU) 2023/263 as regards the terms of the authorisation of sepiolitic clay as a feed additive for salmonids and chickens for fattening (Text with EEA relevance), notified on 5 February 2026. Implementing Regulation (EU) 2026/154 erroneously omitted to provide for the usual transitional measures, as regards all animal species other than ruminants for milk production or reproduction, weaned piglets of porcine species, porcine species for fattening, salmonids and chickens for fattening, allowing interested parties to prepare themselves to meet the new requirements resulting from the authorisation. Implementing Regulation (EU) 2026/154 is therefore corrected accordingly by this Act, which applies retroactively from the date of entry into force of Implementing Regulation (EU) 2026/154 (15 February 2026).
