COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) 2021/1322

of 3 August 2021

amending Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/2076 to make administrative changes to the Union authorisation of the biocidal product family ‘Contec IPA Product Family’

(Text with EEA relevance)

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

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

Having regard to Regulation (EU) No 528/2012 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 22 May 2012 concerning the making available on the market and use of biocidal products (1), and in particular the first subparagraph of Article 44(5) and Article 50(2) thereof,

Whereas:

(1)

On 29 November 2019, Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/2076 (2) granted a Union authorisation with authorisation number EU-0020460-0000 to Contec Europe for the making available on the market and use of the biocidal product family ‘Contec IPA Product Family’.

(2)

On 5 February 2020, Contec Europe submitted a notification to the European Chemicals Agency (‘the Agency’), in accordance with Article 11(1) of Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 354/2013 (3), regarding the administrative changes to the Union authorisation for the biocidal product family ‘Contec IPA Product Family’ as referred to in Section 1 of Title 1 of the Annex to that Regulation.

(3)

Contec Europe proposed the revision of the list of product trade names, including the changes in the trade names and the removal of the trade names of the individual products in the meta SPCs 1 and 2, of the summary of the product characteristics for the biocidal product family ‘Contec IPA Product Family’ as set out in Annex II to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/2076. The notification was recorded under the case number BC-GC057245-55 in the Register for Biocidal Products.

(4)

On 6 March 2020, the Agency submitted an opinion (4) on the proposed changes to the Commission, in accordance with Article 11(3) of Implementing Regulation (EU) No 354/2013. The opinion concludes that the amendments to the existing authorisation sought by the authorisation holder fall under Article 50(3)(a) of Regulation (EU) No 528/2012, and that after the implementation of the changes the conditions of Article 19 of that Regulation are still met. On the same date, the Agency transmitted to the Commission the revised summary of the biocidal product characteristics in all the official languages of the Union in accordance with Article 11(6) of Implementing Regulation (EU) No 354/2013.

(5)

The Commission concurs with the opinion of the Agency and therefore considers it appropriate to amend the Union authorisation of the biocidal product family ‘Contec IPA Product Family’.

(6)

The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Biocidal Products,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1

Annex II to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/2076 is replaced by the text in the Annex to this Regulation.

Article 2

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

This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

Done at Brussels, 3 August 2021.
