(4)

For those active substances, the effects on human health and the environment have been assessed, in accordance with the provisions of Article 6(2) and (4) of Directive 91/414/EEC, for the uses proposed by the applicants. The designated rapporteur Member States submitted a draft assessment report on 10 February 2005 (penoxsulam), 14 March 2006 (proquinazid) and 21 April 2004 (spirodiclofen).

| (5) | The assessment reports were peer reviewed by the Member States and the EFSA within its Working Group Evaluation and presented to the Commission in the format of the EFSA Scientific Reports on 31 August 2009 for penoxsulam (5), on 13 October 2009 (6) for proquinazid and on 27 July 2009 (7) for spirodiclofen.

(5)

The assessment reports were peer reviewed by the Member States and the EFSA within its Working Group Evaluation and presented to the Commission in the format of the EFSA Scientific Reports on 31 August 2009 for penoxsulam (5), on 13 October 2009 (6) for proquinazid and on 27 July 2009 (7) for spirodiclofen. These reports and the draft assessment reports were reviewed by the Member States and the Commission within the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health and finalised on 22 January 2010 in the format of the Commission review reports for penoxsulam, proquinazid and spirodiclofen.

| (6) | It has appeared from the various examinations made that plant protection products containing the active substances concerned may be expected to satisfy, in general, the requirements laid down in Article 5(1)(a) and (b) and Article 5(3) 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 penoxsulam, proquinazid and spirodiclofen in Annex I to that Directive, in order to ensure that in all Member States the authorisations of plant protection products containing these active substances may be granted in accordance with the provisions of that Directive. |

| (7) | Without prejudice to that conclusion, it is appropriate to obtain further information on certain specific points. Article 6(1) of Directive 91/414/EEC provides that the inclusion of a substance in Annex I may be subject to conditions. It is appropriate, as regards penoxsulam, to require that the notifier submits further information on the off-field risk to higher aquatic plants. |

| (8) | Without prejudice to the obligations defined by Directive 91/414/EEC as a consequence of including an active substance in Annex I, Member States should be allowed a period of six months after inclusion to review existing provisional authorisations of plant protection products containing penoxsulam, proquinazid or spirodiclofen to ensure that the requirements laid down by Directive 91/414/EEC, in particular in its Article 13 and the relevant conditions set out in Annex I, are satisfied. Member States should transform existing provisional authorisations into full authorisations, amend them or withdraw them in accordance with the provisions of Directive 91/414/EEC. By derogation from the above deadline, a longer period should be provided for the submission and assessment of the complete Annex III dossier of each plant protection product for each intended use in accordance with the uniform principles laid down in Directive 91/414/EEC. |

COMMISSION DECISION

of 18 March 2010

withdrawing the reference of standard EN ISO 4869-4: 2000 ‘Acoustics — Hearing protectors — Part 4: Measurement of effective sound pressure levels for level-dependent sound-restoration ear-muffs (ISO/TR 4869-4: 1998)’ in accordance with Council Directive 89/686/EEC

(notified under document C(2010) 1599)

(Text with EEA relevance)

(2010/165/EU)

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

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

Having regard to Council Directive 89/686/EEC of 21 December 1989 on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to personal protective equipment (1) and in particular Article 6(1) thereof,

Having regard to the opinion of the Standing Committee set up by Article 5 of Directive 98/34/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 22 June 1998 laying down a procedure for the provision of information in the field of technical standards and regulations and of rules on Information Society Services (2),

Whereas:

| (1) | The European standard EN ISO 4869-4: 2000, ‘Acoustics — Hearing protectors — Part 4: Measurement of effective sound pressure levels for level-dependent sound-restoration ear-muffs (ISO/TR 4869-4: 1998)’, was adopted by the European Committee for Standardisation (CEN) in April 2000. The reference of the standard was first published in the Official Journal of the European Union on 6 October 2005 (3). |
| --- | --- |

(1)

The European standard EN ISO 4869-4: 2000, ‘Acoustics — Hearing protectors — Part 4: Measurement of effective sound pressure levels for level-dependent sound-restoration ear-muffs (ISO/TR 4869-4: 1998)’, was adopted by the European Committee for Standardisation (CEN) in April 2000. The reference of the standard was first published in the Official Journal of the European Union on 6 October 2005 (3).

| (2) | Germany has lodged a formal objection in respect of standard EN ISO 4869-4: 2000. |
| --- | --- |

(2)

Germany has lodged a formal objection in respect of standard EN ISO 4869-4: 2000.

| (3) | Germany’s formal objection was lodged on the grounds that standard EN ISO 4869-4: 2000 fails to satisfy the requirements set out in Annex II to Directive 89/686/EEC, as the test method for level-dependent sound attenuating ear-muffs specified by that standard tends to overestimate the effectiveness of the hearing protector tested and the results are neither representative of user exposure nor reproducible. |

Germany’s formal objection was lodged on the grounds that standard EN ISO 4869-4: 2000 fails to satisfy the requirements set out in Annex II to Directive 89/686/EEC, as the test method for level-dependent sound attenuating ear-muffs specified by that standard tends to overestimate the effectiveness of the hearing protector tested and the results are neither representative of user exposure nor reproducible.

| (4) | Having examined standard EN ISO 4869-4: 2000 the Commission has established that the standard fails to fully satisfy the basic health and safety requirements set out in Sections 1.1.2.1 and 3.5 of Annex II to Directive 89/686/EEC. |

(4)

Having examined standard EN ISO 4869-4: 2000 the Commission has established that the standard fails to fully satisfy the basic health and safety requirements set out in Sections 1.1.2.1 and 3.5 of Annex II to Directive 89/686/EEC.

| (5) | The reference of standard EN ISO 4869-4: 2000 should therefore be withdrawn from the list of harmonised standards in the Official Journal of the European Union, with the result that compliance with relevant national standards transposing the harmonised standard EN ISO 4869-4: 2000 no longer confers the presumption of conformity to the basic health and safety requirements of Directive 89/686/EEC, |

HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:

Article 1

The reference of standard EN ISO 4869-4: 2000 ‘Acoustics — Hearing protectors — Part 4: Measurement of effective sound pressure levels for level-dependent sound-restoration ear-muffs (ISO/TR 4869-4: 1998)’ is withdrawn from the list of harmonised standards published in the Official Journal of the European Union.
