COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING DECISION
of 26 August 2021
correcting Implementing Decision (EU) 2020/2182 laying down the final import response on behalf of the Union concerning the future import of certain chemicals pursuant to Regulation (EU) No 649/2012 of the European Parliament and of the Council
(2021/C 348 I/02)
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Regulation (EU) No 649/2012 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 4 July 2012 concerning the export and import of hazardous chemicals ( 1 ) , and in particular the second and third subparagraphs of Article 13(1) thereof,
After consulting the Committee established by Article 133 of Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 18 December 2006 concerning the Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemicals (REACH), establishing a European Chemicals Agency, amending Directive 1999/45/EC and repealing Council Regulation (EEC) No 793/93 and Commission Regulation (EC) No 1488/94 as well as Council Directive 76/769/EEC and Commission Directives 91/155/EEC, 93/67/EEC, 93/105/EC and 2000/21/EC ( 2 ) ,
Whereas:

There was no intention to delete the import response for azinphos-methyl from the Annex to that Implementing Decision and it should therefore be reinserted into that Annex.</p></td></tr></tbody></table>
