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 the fourth subparagraph of Article 8(2) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) |
Article 8(2) of Directive 91/414/EEC provides that a Member State may, during a period of 12 years following the notification of that Directive, authorise the placing on the market of plant protection products containing active substances not listed in Annex I to that Directive that are already on the market two years after the date of notification, while those substances are gradually being examined within the framework of a programme of work. |
(2) |
Commission Regulations (EC) No 451/2000 (2) and (EC) No 703/2001 (3) lay down the detailed rules for the implementation of the second stage of the programme of work referred to in Article 8(2) of Directive 91/414/EEC. For the active substance triazamate the notifier informed the Commission on 7 July 2004 that it no longer wished to seek the inclusion of that substance in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC. Consequently, that active substance should not be included in that Annex and Member States should withdraw all authorisations for plant protection products containing triazamate. |
(3) |
A period of grace for disposal, storage, placing on the market and use of existing stocks should be provided to allow those stocks to be used in one further growing season. |
(4) |
The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health, |
HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:
Article 1
Triazamate shall not be included as an active substance in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC.
Article 2
Member States shall ensure that:
1. |
authorisations for plant protection products containing triazamate are withdrawn by 4 January 2006; |
2. |
no authorisations for plant protection products containing triazamate are granted or renewed from the date of publication. |
Article 3
Any period of grace granted by Member States under Article 4(6) of Directive 91/414/EEC, for the disposal, storage, placing on the market and use of existing stocks shall be as short as possible and shall expire on 4 January 2007 at the latest.
Article 4
This Decision is addressed to the Member States.
Done at Brussels, 4 July 2005.
