COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) No 127/2012
of 14 February 2012
amending Implementing Regulation (EU) No 540/2011 as regards an extension of the use of the active substance metazachlor
(Text with EEA relevance)
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 21 October 2009 concerning the placing of plant protection products on the market and repealing Council Directives 79/117/EEC and 91/414/EEC (1), and in particular Article 13(2)(c) thereof,
Whereas:
|
(1) |
By Commission Directive 2008/116/EC (2) metazachlor was included as active substance in Annex I to Council Directive 91/414/EEC (3) for use as a herbicide at a maximum application rate of 1,0 kg/ha only every third year on the same field. Since the replacement of Directive 91/414/EEC by Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009, this substance is deemed to have been approved under that Regulation and is listed in Part A of the Annex to Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 540/2011 of 25 May 2011, implementing Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council as regards the list of approved active substances (4). |
|
(2) |
On 23 March 2010 one of the notifiers at whose request metazachlor was included in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC, submitted an application for an amendment to the specific provisions of use of metazachlor to allow more frequent applications on the same field, without however exceeding the total maximum amount of 1,0 kg/ha over a three-year period. That application was accompanied by additional information. It was submitted to the United Kingdom which had been designated rapporteur Member State by Commission Regulation (EC) No 1490/2002 (5). |
|
(3) |
The rapporteur Member State assessed the additional information submitted by the applicant and prepared an addendum to the draft assessment report. It submitted that addendum to the Commission on 4 January 2011 which communicated it to the other Member States and to the European Food Safety Authority for comments. The addendum to the draft assessment report was reviewed by the Member States and the Commission within the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health on 24 January 2012 in the format of an addendum to the Commission review report for metazachlor. |
|
(4) |
It has appeared from the various examinations carried out that the amendment to the specific provisions of use applied for does not cause any risks in addition to those already taken into account in the approval of metazachlor and in the Commission review report for that substance. |
|
(5) |
The Annex to Implementing Regulation (EU) No 540/2011 should therefore be amended accordingly. |
|
(6) |
The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health, |
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
