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 Regulation (EC) No 1451/2007(2) establishes a list of active substances to be assessed, with a view to their possible inclusion in Annex I, IA or IB to Directive                              98/8/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council(3). That list includes ethyl butylacetylaminopropionate.

(2)Ethyl butylacetylaminopropionate has been evaluated in accordance with Article 11(2) of Directive 98/8/EC for use in product-type                              19, repellents and attractants, as defined in Annex V to that Directive, which corresponds to product-type 19 as defined in                              Annex V to Regulation (EU) No 528/2012.

(3)Belgium was designated as Rapporteur Member State and submitted the competent authority report, together with a recommendation,                              to the Commission on 5 November 2009 in accordance with Article 14(4) and (6) of Regulation (EC) No 1451/2007.

(4)The competent authority report was reviewed by the Member States and the Commission. In accordance with Article 15(4) of Regulation                              (EC) No 1451/2007, the findings of the review were incorporated in an assessment report reviewed within the Standing Committee                              on Biocidal Products on 13 March 2014.

(5)According to that assessment report, biocidal products used for product-type 19 and containing ethyl butylacetylaminopropionate                              may be expected to satisfy the requirements laid down in Article 5 of Directive 98/8/EC, provided that the certain specifications                              and conditions relating to its use are satisfied.

(6)It is therefore appropriate to approve ethyl butylacetylaminopropionate for use in biocidal products for product-type 19 subject                              to compliance with such specifications and conditions.

(7)Since the evaluation did not address nanomaterials, the approval should not cover such materials in accordance with Article                              4(4) of Regulation (EU) No 528/2012.

(8)A reasonable period should be allowed to elapse before an active substance is approved, in order to permit interested parties                              to take the preparatory measures necessary to meet the new requirements laid down.

(9)The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Biocidal Products,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
