On October 22, 2013, the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) carried out a public consultation to receive input from the scientific community and all interested parties on the Draft guidance on the renewal of the authorisation of feed additives prepared by the EFSA Panel on Additives and Products or Substances used in Animal Feed (FEEDAP Panel) and endorsed by the Panel for public consultation at its Plenary meeting on 18 June 2013.
The written public consultation for this document was open from 26 June to 16 August 2013. EFSA received comments from seven interested parties. EFSA and its FEEDAP Panel wish to thank all stakeholders for their contributions. The current report summarises the outcome of the public consultation, and includes a brief summary of the comments received and how the comments were addressed. The FEEDAP Panel prepared an updated version of the Guidance on the renewal of the authorisation of feed additives taking into account the questions/comments received. This guidance was discussed and adopted at the FEEDAP Plenary meeting on 8 October 2013, and is published in the EFSA Journal.
