16.   Exchange of information on disqualified directors

16.1.   Introduction

The exchange of information referred to in Article 13i(4) of Directive (EU) 2017/1132 shall cover cases where a person is disqualified from becoming a director of a company of one of the types listed in Annex II to that Directive further to a decision of a court or another competent authority of a Member State based on its national law.

The exchange of information shall not cover cases where, under national law, a person is generally incapable of contracting or restricted in his or her general legal capacity or further to a decision of a court or another competent authority of a Member State based on its national law and therefore unable to become a director of a company of the type referred to in the first paragraph.

The exchange of information shall not cover cases based on specific rules under Union law, such as the rules on fitness and propriety provided under Article 91(1) of Directive 2013/36/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council (27).

Where, in accordance with national law in a Member State, legal persons are allowed to be directors of companies of the type referred to in the first paragraph, such legal persons shall fall under the scope of the exchange of information. Each Member State shall inform the other Member States and the Commission whether this possibility exists in its national law.

16.2.   Methods of exchange of information between Member States

The following method shall be used for the exchange of information between the registers in accordance with Article 13i of Directive (EU) 2017/1132.

The queries and the answers under this section shall be transferred through BRIS using end-to-end encryption.

Member States shall exchange the information needed to correlate queries and the answers under this section concerning the same request.

16.2.1.   First level of exchange of information

16.2.1.1.   First level query on disqualification

Member States’ competent authorities may request, through BRIS, information from one or more Member States on whether a person who applies to become a director of a company of one of the types listed in Annex II to Directive (EU) 2017/1132 is disqualified or is recorded in any of their registers that contain information relevant for disqualification of directors.

The requesting Member State shall decide to which Member State or Member States the query shall be sent. The queries shall be sent with a view to ensure effective, efficient and prompt exchange of information.

Each query shall cover one single person and shall provide the data for identification of the person. The requesting Member State shall process such data in compliance with Regulation (EU) 2016/679. The Member States shall ensure that only necessary data and only data concerning the applicant in question is exchanged.

16.2.1.2.   First level answer on disqualification

Upon receipt of the query, the competent authorities of the requested Member State shall, without delay, provide an answer through BRIS.

The answer shall indicate whether the person identified in the query is disqualified or is recorded in any of the registers of the requested Member State that contain information relevant for disqualification of directors.

In case the answer is that the person is disqualified or is recorded in any of the registers that contain information relevant for disqualification of directors, the requested Member State may indicate in its answer, which specific data provided by the requesting Member State matches the data available in the requested Member State and which specific data included in the query cannot be confirmed by the requested Member State as it is not recorded in its registers.

If it is necessary, the requested Member State may ask the requesting Member State to provide further data to ensure unequivocal identification of the person. Such data shall be processed in compliance with Regulation (EU) 2016/679.

16.2.2.   Second level of exchange of information

The exchange for additional information may take place through other appropriate means than BRIS. If the second level of exchange of information is carried out through BRIS, the rules set out in points 16.2.2.1, 16.2.2.2, 16.3.3 and 16.3.4 shall apply.

16.2.2.1.   Second level query on disqualification

In case a requested Member State indicates in the first level answer that a given person is disqualified or is recorded in any of its registers that contain information relevant for disqualification of directors, the requesting Member States may request further information from the requested Member State concerning the person identified in the first level query.

The second level query shall cover the same person as the first level query and first level answer.

16.2.2.2   Second level answer on disqualification

The requested Member State may decide, under its national law, which additional information to provide. In case that Member State’s national law does not allow further exchange of information, it shall inform accordingly the requesting Member State.

16.3.   Detailed list of data

For the exchange of information on disqualified directors, Member States shall include the following data.

5.   GENERAL DIRECTIONS FOR USE (1)

5.1.   Instructions for use

Always read the label or leaflet before use and respect/follow all the instructions provided.

Do not expose bait drops to sunlight or heat (e.g. radiator).

The pre-filled plastic reservoir containing Pesguard® Gel is intended for use with the plunger provided or a specific bait application device common to the pest control industry. Refer to the manufacturer’s instructions for directions on the use of the applicator.

Inject the bait into cracks and crevices, void spaces, or in concealed locations inaccessible to humans or domestic animals where insects may live, feed and breed. Such areas are generally warm/damp and dark (behind refrigerators, cupboards and shelves, under kitchen appliances, in electrical control boxes, voids and ducting and under bathroom fixtures etc.). Inspection or trapping to confirm infestation is recommended prior to treatment. Ensure that any alternative food sources are removed and concentrate the bait placements as individual spots at cockroach activity sites. The product should not be applied to areas accessible to children and pets.

Do not apply Pesguard® Gel where it will come into contact with water or in areas that are routinely cleaned. Typically cockroaches will die a few hours after a single feed on Pesguard® Gel. In infested premises, dead cockroaches will normally be seen within 24 hours of treatment.

Remove the cap from the nozzle, touch the top to the surface to be treated, and push down on the plunger. Replace the cap on the dispenser after treatment is completed.

The bait will adhere to non-greasy or non-dusty surfaces and will remain pliable and palatable to cockroaches as long as it is visibly present.

Treated area’s should be visually inspected after 1-2 weeks. Where initial infestation was heavy a second Pesguard® Gel application may be required if the first treatment has been consumed and live cockroaches are still present.

A second visual inspection of bait placements is recommended 2-4 weeks after the initial treatment. Reapply when bait is no longer visibly present, according to the level of infestation (light, medium or heavy). Replace bait before it is completely consumed to keep cockroaches from returning.

Inform the registration holder if the treatment is ineffective.

Spills and residues containing the product need to be removed as chemical waste.

Care should be taken to avoid depositing gel onto exposed surfaces. If gel contacts an exposed surface, remove gel with a paper towel and clean the area with disposable wet wipes.

During follow-up visits, inspect bait placements and re-apply when necessary.

Do not place bait in locations that are routinely washed, as bait will be removed by washing. Do not use this product in or on electrical equipment where a possibility of shock hazard exists. Avoid contact with textiles and clothing, as bait may stain.

5.2.   Risk mitigation measures

Wear protective chemical resistant gloves during product handling phase (glove material to be specified by the authorisation holder within the product information).

Do not apply bait in areas where repellent insecticides have been used without thoroughly cleaning the surface with disposable wet tissue. Do not apply repellent insecticides after application of the bait.

Do not apply directly on or near food, feed or drinks, or on surfaces or utensils likely to be in direct contact with food, feed, drinks and animals.

Spills and residues containing the product must be removed as chemical waste.

Avoid placing gel on fabrics or carpets since it may stain some absorbent materials. To prevent staining, exposed bait should be cleaned up immediately with disposable wet wipes.

Cleaning materials must be disposed of as to solid waste.

5.3.   Particulars of likely direct or indirect effects, first aid instructions and emergency measures to protect the environment

This biocidal product contains clothianidin, which is dangerous to bees.

Description of first aid measures

Skin contact: Remove contaminated clothing immediately and wash skin with soap and water. Get medical attention if irritation persists after washing.

Eye contact: If symptoms occur, rinse with water. Remove contact lenses, if present and easy to do. Call a POISON CENTRE or a doctor.

Ingestion: If swallowed: If symptons occur call a POISON CENTRE or a doctor.

If inhaled: not applicable.

Most important symptoms and effects, both acute and delayed

Eyes: May cause temporary eye irritation.

Emergency measures to protect the environment
