(2)

In accordance with Article 25a of Regulation (EC) No 2229/2004, the European Food Safety Authority, hereinafter ‘the Authority’, presented to the Commission its view on the draft review report for Z-13-hexadecen-11-yn-1-yl acetate (6) on 18 December 2013. The Authority communicated its view on Z-13-hexadecen-11-yn-1-yl acetate to the notifier.

(3)

The Commission invited the notifier to submit comments on the draft review report for Z-13-hexadecen-11-yn-1-yl acetate. The draft review report and the view of the Authority were reviewed by the Member States and the Commission within the Standing Committee on Plants, Animals, Food and Feed and finalised on 12 December 2014 in the format of the Commission review report for Z-13-hexadecen-11-yn-1-yl acetate.

(4)

It is confirmed that the active substance Z-13-hexadecen-11-yn-1-yl acetate is to be deemed to have been approved under Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009.
