In order to facilitate compliance by the Member States with the requirement to submit the information concerning authorisation and registration of biocidal products set out in Article 18(1) of Directive 98/8/EC, it is appropriate to establish a standardised information system at European Union level, in the form of a Register for Biocidal Products, hereinafter referred to as the ‘Register’.

(2)

To ensure consistency of the data, the Register should be used by all the Member States to enter the information required under Article 18(1) of Directive 98/8/EC.

HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:
