    (Text with EEA relevance)

    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 Article 5(5) thereof,

    Whereas:

    (1)

    By Commission Directive 98/47/EC (2) azoxystrobin was included until 1 July 2008, by Commission Directive 97/73/EC (3) imazalil was included until 31 December 2008, by Commission Directive 1999/1/EC (4) kresoxim-methyl was included until 31 January 2009, by Commission Directive 1999/73/EC (5) spiroxamin was included until 1 September 2009, by Commission Directive 1999/80/EC (6) azimsulfuron was included until 1 October 2009, by Commission Directive 2000/50/EC (7) prohexadion-calcium was included until 20 October 2010 and by Commission Directive 2000/10/EC (8) fluroxypyr was included until 30 November 2010 as active substances in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC.

    (2)

    On request the inclusion of an active substance can be renewed provided an application is made at the latest two years before the entry is due to lapse. The Commission has received requests regarding renewals of inclusions for all the substances above referred to.

    (3)

    The Commission will have to lay down detailed rules 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 above mention active substances in Annex I for a period necessary to enable the notifiers to prepare their applications and to enable the Commission to organise their evaluation and to take a decision.

    (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:
