COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) No 832/2013
of 30 August 2013
approving the active substance disodium phosphonate, in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council concerning the placing of plant protection products on the market, and amending the Annex to Implementing Regulation (EU) No 540/2011
(Text with EEA relevance)
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 21 October 2009 concerning the placing of plant protection products on the market and repealing Council Directives 79/117/EEC and 91/414/EEC (1), and in particular Article 13(2) and Article 78(2) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) |
In accordance with Article 80(1)(a) of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009, Directive 91/414/EEC (2) is to apply, with respect to the procedure and the conditions for approval, to active substances for which a decision has been adopted in accordance with Article 6(3) of that Directive before 14 June 2011. For disodium phosphonate the conditions of Article 80(1)(a) of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 are fulfilled by Commission Decision 2008/953/EC (3). |
(2) |
In accordance with Article 6(2) of Directive 91/414/EEC France received on 11 February 2008 an application from ISK BioSciences Europe N.V. for the inclusion of the active substance disodium phosphonate in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC. Decision 2008/953/EC confirmed that the dossier was ‘complete’ in the sense that it could be considered as satisfying, in principle, the data and information requirements of Annexes II and III to Directive 91/414/EEC. |
(3) |
For that active substance, the effects on human and animal health and the environment have been assessed, in accordance with the provisions of Article 6(2) and (4) of Directive 91/414/EEC, for the uses proposed by the applicant. The designated rapporteur Member State submitted a draft assessment report on 27 August 2009. |
(4) |
The draft assessment report was reviewed by the Member States and the European Food Safety Authority (hereinafter 'the Authority'). The Authority presented to the Commission its conclusion on the pesticide risk assessment of the active substance disodium phosphonate (4) on 22 April 2013. The draft assessment report and the conclusion of the Authority were reviewed by the Member States and the Commission within the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health and finalised on 16 July 2013 in the format of the Commission review report for disodium phosphonate. |
(5) |
It has appeared from the various examinations made that plant protection products containing disodium phosphonate may be expected to satisfy, in general, the requirements laid down in Article 5(1)(a) and (b) and Article 5(3) of Directive 91/414/EEC, in particular with regard to the use which was examined and detailed in the Commission review report. It is therefore appropriate to approve disodium phosphonate. |
(6) |
In accordance with Article 13(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 in conjunction with Article 6 thereof and in the light of current scientific and technical knowledge, it is, however, necessary to include certain conditions and restrictions. It is, in particular, appropriate to require further confirmatory information. |
(7) |
A reasonable period should be allowed to elapse before approval in order to permit Member States and the interested parties to prepare themselves to meet the new requirements resulting from the approval. |
(8) |
Without prejudice to the obligations provided for in Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 as a consequence of approval, taking into account the specific situation created by the transition from Directive 91/414/EEC to Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009, the following should, however, apply. Member States should be allowed a period of six months after approval to review authorisations of plant protection products containing disodium phosphonate. Member States should, as appropriate, vary, replace or withdraw authorisations. By way of derogation from that deadline, a longer period should be provided for the submission and assessment of the complete Annex III dossier, as set out in Directive 91/414/EEC, of each plant protection product for each intended use in accordance with the uniform principles. |
(9) |
The experience gained from inclusions in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC of active substances assessed in the framework of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3600/92 of 11 December 1992 laying down the detailed rules for the implementation of the first stage of the programme of work referred to in Article 8(2) of Council Directive 91/414/EEC concerning the placing of plant protection products on the market (5) has shown that difficulties can arise in interpreting the duties of holders of existing authorisations in relation to access to data. In order to avoid further difficulties it therefore appears necessary to clarify the duties of the Member States, especially the duty to verify that the holder of an authorisation demonstrates access to a dossier satisfying the requirements of Annex II to that Directive. However, this clarification does not impose any new obligations on Member States or holders of authorisations compared to the Directives which have been adopted until now amending Annex I to that Directive or the Regulations approving active substances. |
(10) |
In accordance with Article 13(4) of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009, the Annex to Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 540/2011 of 25 May 2011 implementing Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council as regards the list of approved active substances (6) should be amended accordingly. |
(11) |
The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health, |
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
Approval of active substance
The active substance disodium phosphonate, as specified in Annex I, is approved subject to the conditions laid down in that Annex.
Article 2
Re-evaluation of plant protection products
1. Member States shall in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009, where necessary, amend or withdraw existing authorisations for plant protection products containing disodium phosphonate as an active substance by 31 July 2014.
By that date they shall in particular verify that the conditions in Annex I to this Regulation are met, with the exception of those identified in the column on specific provisions of that Annex, and that the holder of the authorisation has, or has access to, a dossier satisfying the requirements of Annex II to Directive 91/414/EEC in accordance with the conditions of Article 13(1) to (4) of that Directive and Article 62 of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009.
2. By way of derogation from paragraph 1, for each authorised plant protection product containing disodium phosphonate as either the only active substance or as one of several active substances, all of which were listed in the Annex to Implementing Regulation (EU) No 540/2011 by 31 January 2014 at the latest, Member States shall re-evaluate the product in accordance with the uniform principles, as referred to in Article 29(6) of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009, on the basis of a dossier satisfying the requirements of Annex III to Directive 91/414/EEC and taking into account the column on specific provisions of Annex I to this Regulation. On the basis of that evaluation, they shall determine whether the product satisfies the conditions set out in Article 29(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009.
Following that determination Member States shall:
(a) |
in the case of a product containing disodium phosphonate as the only active substance, where necessary, amend or withdraw the authorisation by 31 July 2015 at the latest; or |
(b) |
in the case of a product containing disodium phosphonate as one of several active substances, where necessary, amend or withdraw the authorisation by 31 July 2015 or by the date fixed for such an amendment or withdrawal in the respective act or acts which added the relevant substance or substances to Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC or approved that substance or those substances, whichever is the latest. |
Article 3

COMMISSION REGULATION (EU) No 834/2013
of 30 August 2013
amending Annexes II and III to Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 of the European Parliament and of the Council as regards maximum residue levels for acequinocyl, bixafen, diazinon, difenoconazole, etoxazole, fenhexamid, fludioxonil, isopyrazam, lambda-cyhalothrin, profenofos and prothioconazole in or on certain products
(Text with EEA relevance)
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 23 February 2005 on maximum residue levels of pesticides in or on food and feed of plant and animal origin and amending Council Directive 91/414/EEC (1), and in particular Article 14(1)(a) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) |
For diazinon, etoxazole, fenhexamid, lambda-cyhalothrin and profenofos maximum residue levels (MRLs) were set in Annex II and Part B of Annex III to Regulation (EC) No 396/2005. For acequinocyl, bixafen, difenoconazole, fludioxonil, isopyrazam, prosulfocarb and prothioconazole MRLs were set in Part A of Annex III to Regulation (EC) No 396/2005. |
(2) |
In the context of a procedure for the authorisation of the use of a plant protection product containing the active substance acequinocyl on cucumbers, melons and pumpkins, an application was made in accordance with Article 6(1) of Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 for modification of the existing MRLs. |
(3) |
As regards bixafen, such an application was made for rape seed, linseed, poppy seed and mustard seed. As regards difenoconazole, such an application was made for quinces, beetroot, carrots, horseradish, Jerusalem artichokes, parsnips, parsley root, radishes, salsify, bulb vegetables, cucurbits (inedible peel), witloof, globe artichokes, rice and chicory roots. As regards etoxazole, such an application was made for cherries, plums and bananas. As regards fenhexamid, such an application was made for currants and beans with pods. As regards fludioxonil, such an application was made for cucurbits (inedible peel) and radishes. As regards isopyrazam, such an application was made for pome fruits, apricots, peaches, linseed, poppy seed, rape seed and mustard seed. As regards lambda-cyhalothrin, such an application was made for azarole and persimmon. As regards prosulfocarb, such an application was made for fennel. As regards prothioconazole, such an application was made for rape seed, linseed, poppy seed and mustard seed. |
(4) |
In accordance with Article 6(2) and (4) of Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 an application was made for difenoconazole on papaya. The applicant claims that the authorised use of difenoconazole on such crop in Brazil leads to residues exceeding the MRL in Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 and that a higher MRL is necessary to avoid trade barriers for the importation of that crop. |
(5) |
In accordance with Article 8 of Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 these applications were evaluated by the Member States concerned and the evaluation reports were forwarded to the Commission. |
(6) |
The European Food Safety Authority, hereinafter "the Authority", assessed the applications and the evaluation reports, examining in particular the risks to the consumer and, where relevant, to animals and gave reasoned opinions on the proposed MRLs (2). It forwarded these opinions to the Commission and the Member States and made them available to the public. |
(7) |
The Authority concluded in its reasoned opinions that, as regards the use of acequinocyl on melons and pumpkins, the use of isopyrazam on apricots and the use of prosulfocarb on fennel, the submitted data are not sufficient to set new MRLs. As regards the use of acequinocyl on cucumbers, the Authority concluded that the submitted data are not sufficient to set a new MRL for the northern EU outdoor use. |
(8) |
As regards all other applications, the Authority concluded that all requirements with respect to data were met and that the modifications to the MRLs requested by the applicants were acceptable with regard to consumer safety on the basis of a consumer exposure assessment for 27 specific European consumer groups. It took into account the most recent information on the toxicological properties of the substances. Neither the lifetime exposure to these substances via consumption of all food products that may contain these substances, nor the short-term exposure due to extreme consumption of the relevant crops and products showed that there is a risk that the acceptable daily intake (ADI) or the acute reference dose (ARfD) is exceeded. |
(9) |
On 7 July 2012 the Codex Alimentarius Commission (CAC) (3) adopted a Codex maximum residue limit (CXL) for profenofos on chilli peppers. This CXL is safe for consumers in the Union and should therefore be included in Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 as MRL (4). |
(10) |
Based on the reasoned opinions of the Authority and taking into account the factors relevant to the matter under consideration, the appropriate modifications to the MRLs fulfil the relevant requirements of Article 14(2) of Regulation (EC) No 396/2005. |
(11) |
As regards diazinon, in Regulation (EC) No 396/2005, an MRL of 0,3 mg/kg was set for pineapples and lowered to 0,1 mg/kg in the Annex to Commission Regulation (EU) No 899/2012 of 21 September 2012 (5). The Commission was informed that the MRL of 0,3 mg/kg for diazinon on pineapples, as it stood before being amended, had been set as an import tolerance. As a high level of consumer protection is maintained, it is appropriate to set that MRL to 0,3 mg/kg in order to avoid trade barriers. As Regulation (EU) No 899/2012 applies as of 26 April 2013, it is appropriate for the MRL for diazinon on pineapples, provided by this Regulation, to apply from the same date on. |
(12) |
Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 should therefore be amended accordingly. |
(13) |
The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health and neither the European Parliament nor the Council has opposed them, |
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
Annexes II and III to Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 are amended in accordance with the Annex to this Regulation.
Article 2
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
It shall, however, apply from 26 April 2013 for diazinon on pineapples of code number 0163080.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.
Done at Brussels, 30 August 2013.

COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING DECISION
of 29 August 2013
amending Annex E to Council Directive 91/68/EEC as regards the model health certificates for intra-Union trade in ovine and caprine animals and the health requirements relating to scrapie
(notified under document C(2013) 5527)
(Text with EEA relevance)
(2013/445/EU)
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Council Directive 91/68/EEC of 28 January 1991 on animal health conditions governing intra-Community trade in ovine and caprine animals (1), and in particular Article 14(2) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) |
Directive 91/68/EEC lays down the animal health conditions governing intra-Union trade in ovine and caprine animals. It provides, inter alia, that ovine and caprine animals must be accompanied during transportation to their destination by a health certificate conforming to model I, II or III set out in Annex E thereto. |
(2) |
Regulation (EC) No 999/2001 of the European Parliament and of the Council (2) lays down rules for the prevention, control and eradication of transmissible spongiform encephalopathies (TSEs) in bovine, ovine, and caprine animals. Annex VII to that Regulation sets out the measures for the control and eradication of TSEs. In addition, Chapter A of Annex VIII to that Regulation lays down the conditions for intra-Union trade in live animals, semen and embryos. |
(3) |
In the light of new scientific evidence, Regulation (EC) No 999/2001 was amended by Commission Regulation (EU) No 630/2013 (3). The amendments to Regulation (EC) No 999/2001 lift most of the restrictions with regards to atypical scrapie. They also further align to the World Organisation for Animal Health (OIE) standards the rules relating to intra-Union trade in ovine and caprine animals to reflect a stricter approach as regards classical scrapie. |
(4) |
The model health certificates II and III set out in Annex E to Directive 91/68/EEC should therefore be amended in order to reflect the requirements relating to intra-Union trade in ovine and caprine animals laid down in Regulation (EC) No 999/2001, as amended by Regulation (EU) No 630/2013. |
(5) |
In addition, the format of the model health certificates I, II and III set out in Annex E to Directive 91/68/EEC should be adapted to the format provided for in Commission Regulation (EC) No 599/2004 (4). |
(6) |
Directive 91/68/EEC should therefore be amended accordingly. |
(7) |
The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health, |

Annex E to Directive 91/68/EEC is replaced by the text in the Annex to this Decision.
