Vitamin E was authorised for 10 years as a feed additive for all animal species by Commission Regulation (EU) No 26/2011. In accordance with Article 14 of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003, five applications were submitted for the renewal of the authorisation of vitamin E in the form of all-rac-alpha-tocopheryl acetate and one for the renewal of the authorisation of vitamin E in the form of RRR-alpha-tocopheryl acetate as feed additives for all animal species, in the additive category ‘nutritional additives’ and the functional group ‘vitamins, pro-vitamins and chemical well-defined substances having similar effect’. As a consequence of the renewal of the authorisation of vitamin E in the form of all-rac-alpha-tocopheryl acetate and of vitamin E in the form of RRR-alpha-tocopheryl acetate as feed additives, as well as the expiry of the authorisation of vitamin E in the form of RRR-alpha-tocopherol, Regulation (EU) No 26/2011 is repealed. Since safety reasons do not require the immediate application of the modifications to the conditions of authorisation of vitamin E, a transitional period for interested parties to prepare themselves to meet the new requirements resulting from the renewal of the authorisation is provided for.
