(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, Council 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 isopyrazam the conditions of Article 80(1)(a) of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 are fulfilled by Commission Decision 2010/132/EU (3). |
| --- | --- |

(1)

In accordance with Article 80(1)(a) of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009, Council 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 isopyrazam the conditions of Article 80(1)(a) of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 are fulfilled by Commission Decision 2010/132/EU (3).

| (2) | In accordance with Article 6(2) of Directive 91/414/EEC the United Kingdom received on 25 November 2008 an application from Syngenta Crop Protection AG for the inclusion of the active substance isopyrazam in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC. Decision 2010/132/EU 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. |

It is therefore appropriate to approve isopyrazam.

| (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. |

It is, in particular, appropriate to require further confirmatory information.

| (7) | 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 isopyrazam. 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 update 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. |

| (8) | 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. |

A Commission inspection was carried out in Brunei from 25 to 28 April 2012 to evaluate the control systems in place governing the production of fishery products intended for export to the Union. No deficiencies considered to have significant implications for consumer health protection were identified during that inspection with regard to the production of aquaculture products. Brunei should therefore be included in the list of third countries set out in Annex II to Decision 2006/766/EC, together with an indication that only imports of aquaculture products are permitted into the Union from that third country.

| (6) | A Commission inspection was carried out in Togo from 8 to 11 June 2009. Official checks and hygiene certification for the export of live lobsters was found to be satisfactory, but deficiencies were noted in the control system for smoked fishery products intended for export to the Union. In view of those deficiencies, Togo was included in the list set out in Annex II to Decision 2006/766/EC, as amended by Commission Decision 2009/951/EU (4), together with an indication that only imports of live lobsters are permitted into the Union from that third country. |

| (7) | The deficiencies identified during the Commission inspection visit to Togo were subsequently addressed. Control systems were established to conduct microbial and chemical analyses of smoked fishery products. Analytical reports and other information submitted by the competent authority provide sufficient guarantees to ensure adequate consumer health protection for all fishery products for human consumption, other than live, chilled, frozen or processed bivalve molluscs, echinoderms, tunicates and marine gastropods, exported from Togo to the Union. |

| (8) | Following an internal reform in the Kingdom of the Netherlands, effective as of 10 October 2010, the Netherlands Antilles ceased to exist as an autonomous country within that Kingdom. On that same date, Curaçao and Sint Maarten gained the status of autonomous countries within the Kingdom of the Netherlands, while Bonaire, Sint Eustatius and Saba became special municipalities of the European part of the Kingdom of the Netherlands. |

Bonaire, Sint Eustatius and Saba remain nevertheless included in the list of overseas countries and territories set out in Annex II to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union. Thus they are overseas countries and territories to which the provisions of part four of the Treaty apply.

| (10) | Being part of the European part of the Kingdom of the Netherlands, the implementation of the Treaties for those territories is ensured by the Netherlands and the tasks of the competent authority for sanitary matters in those special municipalities are carried out by the competent authorities of the Netherlands. The competent authorities of the Netherlands have presented the necessary information to the Commission to prove that the sanitary control system in place in Bonaire, Sint Eustatius and Saba provides sufficient guarantees of compliance with Union requirements. The information provided also shows that those authorities have the same legal powers to conduct controls as the competent authority of the Netherlands Antilles used to have and that food business operators are bound by the same obligations. In addition, according to that information, the official sanitary controls in those special municipalities continue at the same levels as in the period before the Netherlands Antilles ceased to exist. |
