of 16 September 2005

amending Council Directive 91/414/EEC to include chlorothalonil, chlorotoluron, cypermethrin, daminozide and thiophanate-methyl as active substances

(Text with EEA relevance)

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,

Having regard to Council Directive 91/414/EEC of 15 July 1991 concerning the placing of plant protection products on the market (1), and in particular Article 6(1) thereof,

Whereas:

| (1) | 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 (2), establishes a list of active substances to be assessed, with a view to their possible inclusion in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC. That list includes chlorothalonil, chlorotoluron, cypermethrin, daminozide and thiophanate-methyl. |

The review of chlorothalonil, chlorotoluron and cypermethrin did not reveal any open questions to be addressed by the Scientific Committee on Plants or the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) which has taken over the role of the latter.

| (6) | The review of daminozide revealed a number of open questions which were addressed by the EFSA. The Scientific Panel on Plant Health, Plant Protection Products and their Residues (PPR Panel) of the EFSA was asked to comment on the mechanism of action of the carcinogenic response of rodents to 1,1-dimethylhydrazide (UDMH) and to indicate whether or not a threshold could be derived for this effect. If yes, it was requested to indicate this value. The PPR Panel, having regard to the submitted questions, concluded (4) that, on the basis of the available data, it is not possible to identify the mechanism responsible for the carcinogenic action of UDMH in rodents. There is no in vitro evidence of genotoxicity of pure and oxidation-protected UDMH and in vivo studies are not available. In addition, the PPR Panel noted an apparent discrepancy in that daminozide long-term studies did not give rise to carcinogenicity in rats and mice at doses that should have produced internal doses of metabolically-formed UDMH at least one order of magnitude higher than those proven to be effective on direct testing. In addition, methylation of N7 guanine was found to be 50-fold higher in one study following oral administration of UDMH to rats, when compared to the corresponding data for daminozide. Thus, the PPR Panel considered that any conclusion on the mechanism of carcinogenicity of orally administered UDMH should be regarded to include a degree of uncertainty. The PPR Panel concluded that the weight of evidence is against a genotoxic mechanism.
  Among possible non-genotoxic mechanisms, altered regulation of cell proliferation or hormonal imbalance are plausible alternatives to genotoxicity, but these mechanisms have not been specifically investigated and thus a more definitive conclusion on the mechanism involved is not possible at the moment. In experimental testing of UDMH for carcinogenicity in rats and mice, no effects were observed at 0,09 mg/kg bw/day and 1,41 mg/kg bw/day, respectively.
  If the observed UDMH carcinogenicity is due to a non-genotoxic mechanism, the above indicated doses should be considered to be toxicological thresholds. However, taking together the uncertainties associated with the mechanism and the possibility that UDMH in greenhouse conditions may form oxidised derivatives that might be genotoxic, the PPR Panel is of the opinion that any use of these doses as thresholds should be undertaken only with due caution. The opinion was taken into consideration by the Standing Committee that concluded that the use of daminozide is acceptable under the specified conditions. |

| (7) | The review of thiophanate-methyl revealed a number of open questions which were addressed by the Scientific Committee on Plants. The Scientific Committee was asked to comment on the advisability of establishing an acceptable daily intake (ADI) and acceptable operator exposure level (AOEL) having regard particularly to the results of mutagenicity, carcinogenicity and reproductive studies for benomyl, carbendazim and thiophanate-methyl. The Committee (5) noted that carbendazim is the biologically active substance common to these three substances. Benomyl in particular, but also thiophanate-methyl, is metabolised to carbendazim and all three substances produce numerical chromosomal aberrations (aneuploidy) in mammalian cells, exposed in vivo. There is no evidence that any other form of damage to genetic material is induced by any of these substances. Carcinogenicity is not a concern. The known effects of these fungicides upon reproduction are explicable by interaction with the microtubules of the spindle apparatus. The mechanism of aneuploidy induction is well understood and consists of inhibition of polymerisation of tubulin, the protein that is essential for the segregation of chromosomes during cell division: it does not involve any interaction with DNA. Since multiple copies of tubulin molecules are present in proliferating cells, in the presence of low concentration of the fungicides a limited number of tubulin molecules will be affected and consequently no toxicological adverse effects will ensue. Consequently, a clear no adverse effect level is recognisable and both an ADI and an AOEL can be established. |

| (8) | It has appeared from the various examinations made that plant protection products containing chlorothalonil, chlorotoluron, cypermethrin, daminozide and thiophanate-methyl may be expected to satisfy, in general, the requirements laid down in Article 5(1)(a) and (b) of Directive 91/414/EEC, in particular with regard to the uses which were examined and detailed in the Commission review report. It is therefore appropriate to include this active substance in Annex I, in order to ensure that in all Member States the authorisations of plant protection products containing this active substance can be granted in accordance with the provisions of that Directive. |

| (11) | The experience gained from previous inclusions in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC of active substances assessed in the framework of Regulation (EEC) No 3600/92 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. |
