(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:

| (1) | Verification has revealed two errors in Commission Implementing Decision (EU) 2020/2182 (3), which also amended the Annex to Commission Implementing Decision of 15 May 2014 (4). |
| --- | --- |

(1)

Verification has revealed two errors in Commission Implementing Decision (EU) 2020/2182 (3), which also amended the Annex to Commission Implementing Decision of 15 May 2014 (4).

| (2) | Commission Implementing Decision of 15 May 2014 contained only one Annex. Article 2 of Implementing Decision (EU) 2020/2182 mistakenly refers to Annex II to the Implementing Decision of 15 May 2014. |
| --- | --- |

(2)

Commission Implementing Decision of 15 May 2014 contained only one Annex. Article 2 of Implementing Decision (EU) 2020/2182 mistakenly refers to Annex II to the Implementing Decision of 15 May 2014.

| (3) | The import response for azinphos-methyl set out in the Annex to Commission Implementing Decision of 15 May 2014 was mistakenly not included in Annex II to Implementing Decision (EU) 2020/2182 and thus deleted from the Annex to Commission Implementing Decision of 15 May 2014. 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. |

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.

| (4) | Implementing Decision (EU) 2020/2182 should therefore be corrected accordingly. |

Implementing Decision (EU) 2020/2182 should therefore be corrected accordingly.

| (5) | As Implementing Decision (EU) 2020/2182 applies from 18 December 2020, the correction thereof should also apply from that date, as there should be no doubt on the continued and uninterrupted validity of the import response for azinphos-methyl, |
