    (2010/153/EU)

    THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

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

    Having regard to Directive 2001/95/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 3 December 2001 on general product safety (1), and in particular Article 13 thereof,

    Commission Decision 2009/251/EC (2) requires Member States to ensure that products containing the biocide dimethylfumarate (DMF) are not placed or made available on the market.

    Decision 2009/251/EC was adopted in accordance with the provisions of Article 13 of Directive 2001/95/EC, which restricts the validity of the Decision to a period not exceeding 1 year, but allows it to be confirmed for additional periods none of which shall exceed 1 year.

    (3)

    (4)

    The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee established by Directive 2001/95/EC,

    HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:

    Article 1

    ‘This Decision shall be applicable until 15 March 2011.’
