COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) 2019/1137

of 3 July 2019

renewing the approval of the active substance dimethenamid-P 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 Commission 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 20(1) thereof,

Whereas:

(1)

Commission Directive 2003/84/EC (2) included dimethenamid-P as an active substance in Annex I to Council Directive 91/414/EEC (3).

(2)

Active substances included in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC are deemed to have been approved under Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 and are listed in Part A of the Annex to Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 540/2011 (4).

(3)

The approval of the active substance dimethenamid-P, as set out in Part A of the Annex to Implementing Regulation (EU) No 540/2011, expires on 31 October 2019.

(4)

An application for the renewal of the approval of the active substance dimethenamid-P was submitted in accordance with Article 1 of Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 844/2012 (5) within the time period provided for in that Article.

(5)

The applicant submitted the supplementary dossiers required in accordance with Article 6 of Implementing Regulation (EU) No 844/2012. The application was found to be complete by the rapporteur Member State.

(6)

The rapporteur Member State prepared a renewal assessment report in consultation with the co-rapporteur Member State and submitted it to the European Food Safety Authority (‘the Authority’) and the Commission on 11 August 2016.

(7)

The Authority communicated the renewal assessment report to the applicant and to the Member States for comments and forwarded the comments received to the Commission. The Authority also made the supplementary summary dossier available to the public.

(8)

On 12 April 2018, the Authority communicated to the Commission its conclusion (6) on whether dimethenamid-P can be expected to meet the approval criteria provided for in Article 4 of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009. The Commission presented the draft renewal report and the Regulation proposal regarding dimethenamid-P to the Standing Committee on Plants, Animals, Food and Feed on 24 January 2019.

(9)

As regards the criteria to identify endocrine disrupting properties introduced by Commission Regulation (EU) 2018/605 (7), the conclusion of the Authority indicates that, based on the scientific evidence, it is highly unlikely that dimethenamid-P is an endocrine disrupter and that no additional studies are considered necessary to be carried out. Thus, the Commission concludes that dimethenamid-P is not to be considered as having endocrine disrupting properties.

(10)

The Commission invited the applicant to submit its comments on the conclusion of the Authority and, in accordance with the third subparagraph of Article 14(1) of Implementing Regulation (EU) No 844/2012, on the draft renewal report. The applicant submitted its comments, and the Commission has carefully examined them.

(11)

It has been established with respect to one or more representative uses of at least one plant protection product containing the active substance dimethenamid-P that the approval criteria provided for in Article 4 of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 are satisfied. It is therefore appropriate to renew the approval of dimethenamid-P.

(12)

The risk assessment for the renewal of the approval of the active substance dimethenamid-P is based on a limited number of representative uses, which however do not restrict the uses for which plant protection products containing dimethenamid-P may be authorised.

(13)

In accordance with Article 14(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 in conjunction with Article 6 of that Regulation and in the light of current scientific and technical knowledge, it is, however, necessary to provide for certain conditions. It is, in particular, appropriate to require further confirmatory information as regards the effects of water treatment processes on the nature of residues present in drinking water and to recommend Member States to pay attention to the protection of operators and workers, of groundwater, of aquatic organisms and small herbivorous mammals in the framework of any authorisations to be granted, as appropriate.

(14)

In accordance with Article 20(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009, in conjunction with Article 13(4) thereof, the Annex to Implementing Regulation (EU) No 540/2011 should therefore be amended accordingly.

(15)

Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2018/1262 (8) extended the approval period of dimethenamid-P to 31 October 2019 in order to allow the renewal process to be completed before the expiry of the approval of that active substance. Given that a decision on renewal has been taken ahead of that extended expiry date, this Regulation should apply from 1 September 2019.

(16)

The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Plants, Animals, Food and Feed,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1

Renewal of the approval of active substance

The approval of the active substance dimethenamid-P, as specified in Annex I, is renewed subject to the conditions laid down in that Annex.

Article 2

Amendments to Implementing Regulation (EU) No 540/2011

The Annex to Implementing Regulation (EU) No 540/2011 is amended in accordance with Annex II to this Regulation.

Article 3

Entry into force and date of application

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

It shall apply from 1 September 2019.

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

COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) 2019/1138

of 3 July 2019

approving the active substance florpyrauxifen-benzyl 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 Commission 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) thereof,

Whereas:

(1)

In accordance with Article 7(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 Italy received on 24 March 2016 an application from Dow AgroSciences for the approval of the active substance florpyrauxifen-benzyl.

(2)

In accordance with Article 9(3) of that Regulation, Italy, as rapporteur Member State, notified the applicant, the other Member States, the Commission and the European Food Safety Authority (‘the Authority’) on 17 June 2016 of the admissibility of the application.

(3)

On 28 April 2017 the rapporteur Member State submitted a draft assessment report to the Commission with a copy to the Authority, assessing whether the active substance florpyrauxifen-benzyl can be expected to meet the approval criteria provided for in Article 4 of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009.

(4)

The Authority complied with Article 12(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009. In accordance with Article 12(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009, it requested that the applicant supply additional information to the Member States, the Commission and the Authority. The assessment of the additional information by the rapporteur Member State was submitted to the Authority in the format of an updated draft assessment report in May 2018.

(5)

On 5 July 2018, the Authority communicated to the applicant, the Member States and the Commission its conclusion (2) on whether the active substance florpyrauxifen-benzyl can be expected to meet the approval criteria provided for in Article 4 of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009. The Authority made its conclusion available to the public.

(6)

On 22 March 2019 the Commission presented to the Standing Committee on Plants, Animals, Food and Feed the review report for florpyrauxifen-benzyl and the draft of this Regulation providing that florpyrauxifen-benzyl is approved.

(7)

The applicant was given the possibility to submit comments on the review report.

(8)

As regards the new criteria to identify endocrine disrupting properties introduced by Commission Regulation (EU) 2018/605 (3), the Commission considers that florpyrauxifen-benzyl does not have endocrine disrupting properties based on the available scientific information summarised in the conclusion of the Authority. However, in order to increase the confidence in this conclusion, the applicant should provide an updated assessment, in accordance with point 2(2)(b) of Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009, of the criteria laid down in points 3.6.5 and 3.8.2 of Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009, as amended by Regulation (EU) 2018/605 and in accordance with the guidance for the identification of endocrine disruptors (4).

(9)

It has been established with respect to one or more representative uses of at least one plant protection product containing the active substance, and in particular the uses which were examined and detailed in the review report, that the approval criteria provided for in Article 4 of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 are satisfied.

(10)

It is therefore appropriate to approve florpyrauxifen-benzyl.

(11)

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 necessary to include certain conditions. It is, in particular, appropriate to require further confirmatory information.

(12)

In accordance with Article 13(4) of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009, the Annex to Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 540/2011 (5) should be amended accordingly.

(13)

The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Plants, Animals, Food and Feed,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

In addition, he should make sure the food chain information provides all the details required under Regulation (EC) No 853/2004.

(5)

Regulation (EC) No 853/2004 sets out the requirements governing parasite checks during handling of fishery products on shore and on board vessels. It is up to food business operators to carry out their own checks at all stages in the production of fishery products in accordance with the rules in Chapter V(D) of Section VIII of Annex III to Regulation (EC) No 853/2004 so that fish which are obviously infested with parasites are not released for human consumption. The adoption of detailed rules relating to visual inspections calls for the concepts of visible parasites and visual inspection to be defined and the type and frequency of the observations to be determined.

(6)

Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/627 lays down rules on uniform practical arrangements for the performance of official controls on food of animal origin. That Regulation sets out, in its Annex V, the recognised testing methods for the detection of marine biotoxins in live bivalve molluscs to be used by the competent authorities for the purpose of official controls. Furthermore, it sets out, in its Annex III, the testing methods for raw milk and heat-treated cow's milk to be used by the competent authorities for the purpose of official controls. Regulation (EC) No 853/2004 requires food business operators to carry out their own checks at all stages in the production to ensure that live bivalve molluscs, raw milk and heat-treated cow's milk comply with the hygiene rules for food of animal origin laid down in that Regulation. To ensure a high level of consumer protection with regard to food safety, Regulation (EC) No 2074/2005 should therefore include an obligation for food business operators to use the same recognised testing methods for marine biotoxins and testing methods for raw milk and heat-treated cow's milk as the competent authorities are to use in accordance with Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/627.

(7)

Regulation (EC) No 2074/2005 should therefore be amended accordingly.

(8)

As Regulation (EU) 2017/625 applies with effect from 14 December 2019, this Regulation should apply from the same date.

(9)

The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Plants, Animals, Food and Feed,
