(Text with EEA relevance) 
THE EUR OPEAN COMMISSION,
Havi ng regar d to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Havi ng rega rd to Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 22 Sept ember 2003 on 
additives for use in animal nutr ition (1), and in particular Article 9(2) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 provid es for the author isation of additives for use in animal nutr ition and for the 
grounds and procedures for granting such an author isation. Article 10(2) of that Regulation provides for the 
re-evaluation of additives author ised pursuant to Council Directive 70/524/EEC (2).
(2) Ylang ylang oil was author ised without a time limit in accordance with Directive 70/524/EEC as a feed additive for 
all animal species. The additive was subsequently entered in the Regist er of feed additives as an existing product, in 
accordance with Article 10(1)(b) of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003.
(3) In accordance with Article 10(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 in conjunction with Article 7 thereof, an 
application was submitted for the re-evaluation of ylang ylang essential oil from the flowers of Canang a odor ata 
(Lam) Hook f. & Thomson for all animal species.
(4) The applicant requeste d the additive to be classifie d in the additive catego ry ‘sensor y additives ’ and in the functional 
group ‘flavouring compo unds ’. That application was accompan ied by the particulars and documents required under 
Article 7(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003.
(5) The applicant requested the additive to be author ised also for use in wate r for drinking. However , Regulation (EC) 
No 1831/2003 does not allow the author isation of flavouring compo unds for use in water for drinking. Theref ore, 
the use of ylang ylang essential oil from Canang a odor ata (Lam) Hook f. & Thomson in water for drinking should not 
be allowed.
(1)OJ L 268, 18.10.2003, p. 29.
(2)Council Directive 70/524/EEC of 23 November 1970 concer ning additives in feedingstuffs (OJ L 270, 14.12.1970, p. 1).EN Offi cial Jour nal of the European Union 22.8.2022 L 217/1  (6) The European Food Safety Author ity (‘the Author ity’) concluded in its opinion of 27 Januar y 2022 (3)that, under the 
proposed conditions of use, ylang ylang essential oil from Canang a odor ata (Lam) Hook f. & Thomson does not have 
adverse effects on animal health, consumer health or the envi ronment. The Authority also concluded that ylang 
ylang essential oil from Canang a odor ata (Lam) Hook f. & Thomson should be considered as an irritant to skin and 
eyes, and as a dermal and respirato ry sensitiser . Theref ore, the Commission considers that appropr iate prot ective 
measures should be take n to prevent adverse effects on human health, in particular as regards the users of the 
additive.
(7) The Author ity also concluded, that ylang ylang essential oil from Canang a odor ata (Lam) Hook f. & Thomson is 
recognised to flavour food and its function in feed would be essentially the same as that in food, theref ore, no 
further demonstration of efficacy is considered necessar y. It also verified the repor t on the methods of analysis of 
the feed additive in feed submitte d by the Reference Laboratory set up by Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003.
(8) The assessment of ylang ylang essential oil from Canang a odor ata (Lam) Hook f. & Thomson shows that the 
conditions for author isation, as provid ed for in Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003, are satisfi ed. 
According ly, the use of this substance should be author ised as specif ied in the Annex to this Regulation.
(9) Certain conditions should be provid ed for to allow better control. In particular , a recommended content should be 
indicated on the label of the additives. Where such content is exceeded, certain information should be indicated on 
the label of premixtures.
(10) The fact that ylang ylang essential oil from Canang a odor ata (Lam) Hook f. & Thomson is not author ised for use as a 
flavouring in wate r for drinking, does not preclude its use in compo und feed, whic h is administ ered via water .
(11) Since safet y reasons do not require the immediate application of the modifications to the conditions of author isation 
of the substance concer ned, it is appropr iate to allow a transitional period for interest ed parties to prepare 
themselves to meet the new requirements resulting from the author isation.
(12) The measures provid ed for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committ ee on 
Plants, Animals, Food and Feed,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGUL ATION:
