That list includes aluminium phosphide, calcium phosphide, magnesium phosphide, cymoxanil, dodemorph, 2,5-dichlorobenzoic acid methylester, metamitron, sulcotrione, tebuconazole and triadimenol.

For those active substances the effects on human health and the environment have been assessed in accordance with the provisions laid down in Regulations (EC) No 451/2000 and (EC) No 1490/2002 for a range of uses proposed by the notifiers. Moreover, those Regulations designate the rapporteur Member States which have to submit the relevant assessment reports and recommendations to the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) in accordance with Article 10(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1490/2002. For aluminium phosphide, calcium phosphide, magnesium phosphide, 2,5-dichlorobenzoic acid methylester and sulcotrione the rapporteur Member State was Germany and all relevant information was submitted on 19 June 2007 for aluminium phosphide, calcium phosphide, magnesium phosphide and 2,5-dichlorobenzoic acid methylester and on 9 August 2006 for sulcotrione.
