(Text with EEA relevance)

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

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

Having regard to Regulation (EU) No 528/2012 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 22 May 2012 concerning the making available on the market and use of biocidal products (1), and in particular the third subparagraph of Article 89(1) thereof,

Whereas:

| (1) | Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) No 1062/2014 (2) establishes a list of existing active substances to be evaluated for their possible approval for use in biocidal products. That list includes Bacillus subtilis. |

(1)

Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) No 1062/2014 (2) establishes a list of existing active substances to be evaluated for their possible approval for use in biocidal products. That list includes Bacillus subtilis.

| (2) | As a result of the evaluation of the active substance originally notified, it became apparent that it belonged in fact to the species Bacillus amyloliquefaciens strain ISB06. The evaluation did not allow for conclusions to be drawn regarding any other substance complying with the definition of Bacillus subtilis in the abovementioned list of active substances in Delegated Regulation (EU) No 1062/2014. Therefore, only Bacillus amyloliquefaciens strain ISB06 should be covered by this approval. |
