Draft Commission Implementing Regulation withdrawing from the market oct-2-enal, dec-2-enal, 2-hexenal, 3,5- octadiene-2-one, dec-2-enoic acid, phenethyl propionate, methyl decanoate, ethyl dec-2-enoate, ethyl dec-4-enoate, butylamine, 3-methylbutane-1-thiol, 2-methylfuran, 2-acetyl-5-methylfuran, 2-acetyl-3-methylpyrazine and picoline beta (3-methylpyridine) as feed additives for cats and and dogs (Text with EEA relevance)

The substances covered by the Act were initially authorised as feed additives for cats and dogs, in the category of sensory additives and the functional group of flavouring compounds. Applications were later submitted for the reauthorisation of these substances in accordance with article 10 of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003. However, the applicant has withdrawn those applications in the course of the risk assessment evaluation of their safety and efficacy. Consequently, the authorisation of these substances as feed additives must be withdrawn. The proposed Act includes transitional periods for the interested parties to adjust to the withdrawal of these substances.
