of 23 April 2009

amending Council Directive 91/414/EEC to include chlormequat, copper compounds, propaquizafop, quizalofop-P, teflubenzuron and zeta-cypermethrin as active substances

(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 chlormequat, copper compounds, propaquizafop, quizalofop-P, teflubenzuron and zeta-cypermethrin.

 

(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 chlormequat and teflubenzuron the rapporteur Member State was the United Kingdom and all relevant information was submitted on 27 April 2007 and 6 August 2007 respectively. For copper compounds the rapporteur Member State was France and all relevant information was submitted on 7 June 2007. For propaquizafop the rapporteur Member State was Italy and all relevant information was submitted on 22 September 2005. For quizalofop-P the rapporteur Member State was Finland and all relevant information was submitted on 1 February 2007 (variant quizalofop-P-ethyl) and 2 May 2007 (variant quizalofop-P-tefuryl). For zeta-cypermethrin the rapporteur Member State was Belgium and all relevant information was submitted on 10 July 2006.

 

(3)

The assessment reports have been peer reviewed by the Member States and the EFSA and presented to the Commission on 29 September 2008 for chlormequat and teflubenzuron, on 30 September 2008 for copper compounds and zeta-cypermethrin and on 26 November 2008 for propaquizafop and quizalofop-P 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 23 January 2009 in the format of the Commission review reports for chlormequat, copper compounds, propaquizafop, quizalofop-P, teflubenzuron and zeta-cypermethrin.

 

(4)

It has appeared from the various examinations made that plant protection products containing chlormequat, copper compounds, propaquizafop, quizalofop-P, teflubenzuron and zeta-cypermethrin 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/EC provides that inclusion of a...
