COUNCIL DIRECTIVE 2009/82/EC
of 13 July 2009
amending Directive 91/414/EEC to include tetraconazole as an active substance
(Text with EEA relevance)
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,
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 tetraconazole. |
(2) |
For tetraconazole 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 notifier. 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 tetraconazole the rapporteur Member State was Italy and all relevant information was submitted on 15 July 2005. |
(3) |
The assessment report has been peer reviewed by the Member States and the EFSA, and presented to the Commission on 31 July 2008 in the format of the EFSA Scientific Report for tetraconazole. This report has been reviewed by the Member States and the Commission within the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health and finalised on 26 February 2009 in the format of the Commission review report for tetraconazole. |
(4) |
It has appeared from the various examinations made that plant protection products containing tetraconazole 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 have been examined and detailed in the Commission review report. It is therefore appropriate to include tetraconazole in Annex I, in order to ensure that in all Member States the authorisations of plant protection products containing this active substance 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, it is appropriate as regards tetraconazole, to require that the notifier submits further information on a refined consumer risk assessment, on the specification regarding ecotoxicology, on the fate and behaviour of potential metabolites in all relevant compartments, on the refined risk assessment of such metabolites to birds, mammals aquatic organisms and non-target arthropods and on the potential for endocrine disrupting effects to birds, mammals and fish. |
(6) |
A reasonable period should be allowed to elapse before an active substance is included in Annex I in order to permit Member States and the interested parties to prepare themselves to meet the new requirements which will result from the inclusion. |
(7) |
Without prejudice to the obligations defined by Directive 91/414/EEC as a consequence of including an active substance in Annex I, Member States should be allowed a period of six months after inclusion to review existing authorisations of plant protection containing tetraconazole to ensure that the... |
