(Text with EEA relevance)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 91/414/EEC of 15 July 1991 concerning the placing of plant protection products on the market (1), and in particular Article 6(1) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) |
Commission Regulations (EC) No 451/2000 (2) and (EC) No 1490/2002 (3) lay down the detailed rules for the implementation of the third stage of the programme of work referred to in Article 8(2) of Directive 91/414/EEC and establish a list of active substances to be assessed, with a view to their possible inclusion in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC. That list includes bensulfuron, sodium 5-nitroguaiacolate, sodium o-nitrophenolate, sodium p-nitrophenolate and tebufenpyrad. |
(2) |
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 bensulfuron the rapporteur Member State was Italy and all relevant information was submitted on 11 September 2006. For sodium 5-nitroguaiacolate, sodium o-nitrophenolate and sodium p-nitrophenolate the rapporteur Member State was Greece and all relevant information was submitted on 7 December 2005. For tebufenpyrad the rapporteur Member State was Germany and all relevant information was submitted on 12 March 2007. |
(3) |
The assessment reports have been peer reviewed by the Member States and the EFSA and presented to the Commission on 26 September 2008 for bensulfuron, on 30 September 2008 for sodium 5-nitroguaiacolate, sodium o-nitrophenolate and sodium p-nitrophenolate and on 23 October 2008 for tebufenpyrad in the format of the EFSA Scientific Reports (4). These reports have been reviewed by the Member States and the Commission within the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health and finalised on 2 December 2008 in the format of the Commission review reports for sodium 5-nitroguaiacolate, sodium o-nitrophenolate, sodium p-nitrophenolate and tebufenpyrad and on 8 December 2008 in the format of the Commission review reports for bensulfuron. |
(4) |
It has appeared from the various examinations made that plant protection products containing bensulfuron, sodium 5-nitroguaiacolate, sodium o-nitrophenolate, sodium p-nitrophenolate and tebufenpyrad may be expected to satisfy, in general, the requirements laid down in Article 5(1)(a) and (b) of Directive 91/414/EEC, in particular with regard to the uses which were examined and detailed in the Commission review reports. It is therefore appropriate to include these active substances in Annex I, in order to ensure that in all Member States the authorisations of plant protection products containing these active substances can be granted in accordance with the provisions of that Directive. |
(5) |
Without prejudice to that conclusion, it is appropriate to obtain further information on certain specific points. Article 6(1) of Directive 91/414/EEC provides that inclusion of a substance in Annex I may be subject to conditions. Therefore, the notifier should be required to submit further information on the chemical specification, information to further address the route and... |
