COMMISSION DIRECTIVE 2010/77/EU

of 10 November 2010

amending Council Directive 91/414/EEC as regards the expiry dates for inclusion in Annex I of certain active substances

(Text with EEA relevance)

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,

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)

The inclusions in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC of the active substances listed in the Annex to this Directive expire between 31 May 2011 and 31 December 2012.

(2)

Article 5(5) of Directive 91/414/EEC provides that the inclusion of an active substance can be renewed, upon request, provided an application is made at the latest two years before the inclusion period is due to lapse. The Commission has received requests regarding renewals of inclusions for all the substances referred to in recital 1.

(3)

Detailed rules will be needed concerning the submission and evaluation of further information necessary for the renewal of Annex I inclusion. Therefore, it is justified to renew the inclusion of the active substances referred to in recital 1 for a period necessary to enable the applicants to prepare their applications and to enable the Commission to evaluate and decide upon such applications.

(4)

It is therefore appropriate to amend Directive 91/414/EEC accordingly.

(5)

The measures provided for in this Directive are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,

HAS ADOPTED THIS DIRECTIVE:

Article 1

Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC is amended as set out in the Annex to this Directive.

Article 2

Member States shall adopt and publish, by 31 March 2011 at the latest, the laws, regulations and administrative provisions necessary to comply with this Directive. They shall forthwith communicate to the Commission the text of those provisions and a correlation table between those provisions and this Directive.

They shall apply those provisions from 1 April 2011.

When Member States adopt those provisions, they shall contain a reference to this Directive or be accompanied by such a reference on the occasion of their official publication. Member States shall determine how such reference is to be made.

Article 3

Entry into force

This Directive shall enter into force on the twentieth day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.

This Directive is addressed to the Member States.

Done at Brussels, 10 November 2010.
