Why?
Applications for the above authorisations/renewals were submitted and considered by the Reference Laboratory set up by the Feed Additives Regulation (1831/2003). In the case of renewals, conclusions and recommendations reached in previous assessments were considered to remain valid and applicable.
Timeline
These Regulations enter into force on 28 September 2023. All authorisations (including renewals) remain valid until 28 September 2033.
Transitional period
Substances and premixtures containing the preparations specified in Regulations 2023/1703, 2023/1707 and 2023/1711, if produced and labelled before 28 March 2024 in accordance with the rules applicable before 28 September 2023, may continue to be placed on the market and used until the existing stocks are exhausted.
Compound feed and feed materials produced and labelled before 28 September 2024 that contain the specified preparations may continue to be placed on the market and used until the existing stocks are exhausted.
What are the major implications for exporting countries?
With these new applications, more feed additives will be available on the market. Authorisations and renewals are valid for 10 years. The use of all preparations and substances specified as feed additives must comply with the provisions of use specified in the Annex to each Regulation from 28 March 2024 onwards.
Recommended Actions
Non-EU countries producing feed additives, compound feed and feed materials for export to the EU are recommended to check the status of the feed additives in the EU Feed Additives register.

Background
The procedure for authorising the placing on the market and use of feed additives is set out in Regulation (EC) 1831/2003. For the latest updates on feed additives see the EU Feed Additives register.
