SCOPE
The
purpose of the “Silage Additives Authorisation Consortium European Economic Interest
Grouping” (SILAC EEIG) is
to establish co-operation between interested parties in view of the
authorisation of feed additives subject to this grouping, as required by the EU
legislation, particularly under the procedure provided by Article 10 of Reg. (EC) No 1831/2003. It may also seek
non-holder-specific authorisation for additives not previously authorised under
the EU feed additive legislation (non-holder-specific authorisation procedure)
if so decided by the Members.
The activities of the grouping aimed
at achieving this purpose are as follows:
- to develop
common understanding on the details of the information necessary for achieving
authorisation;
- to
collect existing scientific data and carry out scientific reviews;
- to
commission and manage the carrying out of new studies as required by the EU
assessment procedures;
- to
collect and gather industrial data necessary to the achievement of the goal;
- to
develop common authorization dossiers (or part of);
- to submit
application in name of the grouping and act as a contact and negotiation
interface with the EU authorities in the course of the authorisation process.
The
object of the grouping is limited to the
enzymes and micro-organisms classified in Category “1” (Technological Additives) and Functional Group “k” (silage
additives), as defined under Annex I of Reg. (EC) No 1831/2003, and in this
group to a specific list of specific additives upon which the grouping members
have agreed to work in common, and which will remain confidential to the
members of the grouping until the application to the authorities, or until
decided otherwise by the members of the grouping. The selection process to
include additives in this list is ruled by a contract on the basis of set
criteria which are detailed in the grouping’s code of internal rules. The
grouping will not work on additives that are not included in its working list.
Within
the limits fixed by the Regulation and the Belgian law as well as other
applicable competition legislation, not limited to the legislation of the
European Community, the grouping may also carry out all other activities
necessary or useful to its goal.
