The assessment of sepiolitic clay shows that the conditions for authorisation, as provided for in Article 5 of Regulation EC No 1831/2003, are satisfied. Accordingly, the use of that additive should be authorised for dairy ruminants, weaned and fattening Suidae, salmonids and chickens for fattening. Supplementary information has been requested by the Commission to the applicant concerning the safety of the additive for the other animal species and categories. The Commission considers that appropriate protective measures should be taken to prevent adverse effects on human health, in particular as regards the users of the additive. Those protective measures should comply with Union legislation on worker safety requirements.
