INTRODUCTION

The feed additive Regulation (EC) No. 1831/2003 lays down the procedure for approval of feed additives intended for the EU market. The approval process requires demonstration of the safety, quality and efficacy of the additive. Safety must be established for target animals, users, consumers and the environment. Evidence of efficacy is required in relation to feed characteristics, animal nutrition, produce, performance, or the environment. Quality must be demonstrated, and must meet all current EU specifications.  In many cases new feed additive applications must be submitted by November 2010.

Feed additives that fail to submit a valid application dossier by 2010 will be removed from the feed additive register and prohibited from sale in the EU.

Many companies are now planning and executing EU studies with a view to dossier submission by the November 2010 deadline.

New feed additives must achieve approval prior to accessing the EU market.

A speedy, successful application is critical for early market access.
