Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2023/585 of 15 March 2023 correcting Implementing Regulation (EU) 2022/1452 concerning the authorisation of 3-ethylcyclopentan-1,2-dione, 4-hydroxy-2,5-dimethylfuran-3(2H)-one, 4,5-dihydro-2-methylfuran-3(2H)-one, eugenol, 1-methoxy-4-(prop-1(trans)-enyl)benzene, α-pentylcinnamaldehyde, α-hexylcinnamaldehyde and 2-acetylpyridine as feed additives for certain animal species (Text with EEA relevance)

Executive Summary:
Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2023/585 corrects Implementing Regulation (EU) 2022/1452 regarding the authorisation of certain feed additives for specific animal species. The correction addresses errors in the method of production indicated for eugenol and 1-methoxy-4-prop-1-transenylbenzene. This regulation entered into force on the day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
Key Points / Main Content:
* **Corrections to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2022/1452:**
* For the additive Eugenol (2b04003), the production method should include "extraction from cloves or cloves oil" in addition to "chemical synthesis".
* For the additive 1-Methoxy-4-prop-1-transenylbenzene (2b04010), the production method should include "extraction from pine oil" in addition to "chemical synthesis".
* **Entry into Force:**
* This Regulation entered into force on the day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
Impact Analysis:
**Feed Additive Producers/Suppliers:**
* Impact: Producers and suppliers of eugenol and 1-methoxy-4-prop-1-transenylbenzene must ensure their product information reflects the corrected production methods (extraction in addition to synthesis).
* Action Required: Update product labeling and documentation to include extraction from cloves/cloves oil for eugenol and extraction from pine oil for 1-methoxy-4-prop-1-transenylbenzene where applicable.
**Animal Feed Manufacturers:**
* Impact: Need to be aware of the corrected production methods for eugenol and 1-methoxy-4-prop-1-transenylbenzene when formulating feed.
* Action Required: Ensure feed formulations and documentation align with the corrected information.
**Member States:**
* Impact: Must apply the corrected regulation.
* Action Required: Ensure national regulations and enforcement activities align with the updated regulation.

correcting Implementing Regulation (EU) 2022/1452 concerning the authorisation of
3-ethylcyclopentan-1,2-dione, 4-hydroxy-2,5-dimethylfuran-3(2H)-one, 4,5-dihydro-2-methylfuran-3

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 2003on
additives for use in animal nutrition(1), and in particular Article 9(2) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) The use of eugenol and 1-methoxy-4-(prop-1(trans)-enyl)benzene as feed additives was authorised for certain animal
species by Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2022/1452(2)for a 10-year period.
(2) In the Annex to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2022/1452, the indication regarding the method of production for
the two above-mentioned additives erroneously refers only to the production by chemical synthesis, while in the
case of eugenol it should also refer to the extraction from cloves or cloves oil and in the case of 1-methoxy-4-(prop-
1(trans)-enyl)benzene to the extraction from pine oil.
(3) Implementing Regulation (EU) 2022/1452 should therefore be corrected accordingly.
(4) In the interest of preventing disruptions to the placing of the feed additives concerned on the market due to the
errors in Implementing Regulation (EU) 2022/1452, this Regulation should enter into force as a matter of urgency.
(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:
Article 1

chemical synthesis’ is replaced by the following: ‘Produced by chemical synthesis or by the extraction from cloves or cloves
oil’.
2. In the Annex to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2022/1452, as regards the entry for the additive 1-Methoxy4-(prop-1
(trans)-enyl)benzene identified as ‘2b04010’, in the column ‘Composition, chemical formula, description, analytical
method’, the wording ‘Produced by chemical synthesis’ is replaced by the following: ‘Produced by chemical synthesis or by
the extraction from pine oil’.
