(TextwithEEArelevance)
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),
as last amended by Commission Directive 2002/81/EC (2), and in parti-
cular Article 8(2) thereof,
Having regard to Commission Regulation (EC) No 451/2000 of 28
February 2000 laying down the detailed rules for the implementation
of the second and third stages of the work programme referred to inArticle 8(2) of Directive 91/414/EEC (
3), as last amended by Regula-
tion (EC) No 1490/2002 (4), and in particular Article 6(7) and Article
11(2) thereof,
Whereas:
(1)Article 8(2) of Directive 91/414/EEC provides that a Member
State may, during a period of 12 years following the notificationof that Directive, authorise the placing on the market of plantprotection products containing active substances not listed inAnnex I that are already on the market two years after the date
of notification, except where a decision has been taken not to
include a substance in Annex I.
(2)Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3600/92 (5), as last amended
by Regulation (EC) No 2266/2000(6), Regulation (EC) No 451/
2000 and Regulation (EC) No 1490/2002 lay down the detailed
rules for the implementation of the first, second and third stagesof the programme of work referred to in Article 8(2) of Directive91/414/EEC. This programme is ongoing and it has not beenpossible yet to complete decision making on a number of active
substances. The notification procedure for the active substances
covered by Regulation (EC) No 1112/2002 (
7) has not yet been
finalised either and therefore for certain of these activesubstances the time period will also need to be extended.
(3)The Commission presented its progress report on 26 July2001(
8). It concluded that progress has not been as good as was
originally anticipated and therefore the deadline should beextended for those substances still under review or for whichindustry has notified a commitment to further prepare the neces-sary dossiers within the time limits.
(4)For the active substances covered by the first stage the Commis-sion will ensure that as many decisions as possible are takenbefore July 2003, acknowledging however that for a number ofactive substances a decision can not be taken before 2005. Addi-
tional time is needed to evaluate the further data required by the
Commission before it can be decided whether these activesubstances satisfy the safety requirements of Directive 91/414/2002R2076 — EN — 02.08.2003 — 001.001 — 2

EEC and the Commission will ensure that the extension of the
time period will be as short as possible.
(5)Active substances for which a commitment to further prepare thenecessary dossier has not been notified, should not be included
in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC and Member States should
withdraw all authorisations for plant protection productscontaining suchactive substances.
(6)For uses for which additional technical evidence has beenprovided demonstrating the essential need for further use of theactive substance and the absence of an efficient alternative,
temporary measures should be provided to enable the develop-
ment of alternatives. For a number of uses suchinformation h asbeen presented and evaluated by the Commission with MemberState experts. Derogations should be given only for cases, whichappear justified and as not giving rise to concern, and should berestricted to the control of harmful organisms, for which no effi-
cient alternatives exist.
(7)The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance
with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chainand Animal Health,
