THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

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

Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 21 October 2009 concerning                           the placing of plant protection products on the market and repealing Council Directives 79/117/EEC and 91/414/EEC(1), and in particular the first paragraph of Article 17 thereof,                        

Whereas:

(1)Part A of the Annex to Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 540/2011(2) sets out the active substances deemed to have been approved under Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009.

(2)The approvals of the active substances dichlorprop-P, metconazole and triclopyr will expire on 31 May 2017. Applications have                              been submitted for the renewal of the approval of those active substances. As the requirements laid down in Commission Implementing                              Regulation (EU) No 844/2012(3) apply to those active substances, it is necessary to provide for sufficient time to complete the renewal procedure in accordance                              with that Regulation. Consequently, the approvals of those active substances are likely to expire before a decision has been                              taken on their renewal. It is therefore necessary to extend their approval periods.

(3)Regulation (EU) No 540/2011 should therefore be amended accordingly.

(4)In view of the aim of the first paragraph of Article 17 of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009, as regards cases where no supplementary                              dossier in accordance with Implementing Regulation (EU) No 844/2012 is submitted no later than 30 months before the respective                              expiry date laid down in the Annex to this Regulation, the Commission will set the expiry date at the same date as before                              this Regulation or at the earliest date thereafter.

(5)In view of the aim of the first paragraph of Article 17 of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009, as regards cases where the Commission                              will adopt a Regulation providing that the approval of an active substance referred to in the Annex to this Regulation is                              not renewed because the approval criteria are not satisfied, the Commission will set the expiry date at the same date as before                              this Regulation or at the date of the entry into force of the Regulation providing that the approval of the active substance                              is not renewed, whichever date is later.

(6)The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Plants, Animals,                              Food and Feed,
