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 first subparagraph of Article 44(5) and Article 50(2) thereof,

Whereas:

(1) On 26 May 2020, Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2020/704 (2) granted a Union authorisation with authorisation number EU-0021035-0000 to Agrobiothers Laboratoire for the making available on the market and use of the biocidal product family ‘INSECTICIDES FOR HOME USE’.

(2) On 8 September 2020, Agrobiothers Laboratoire submitted a notification to the European Chemicals Agency (‘the Agency’), in accordance with Article 11(1) of Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 354/2013 (3), regarding the administrative changes to the Union authorisation for the biocidal product family ‘INSECTICIDES FOR HOME USE’ referred to in Section 1 of Title 1 of the Annex to that Regulation.

(3) Agrobiothers Laboratoire proposed the addition of trade names in the third information level: individual products in the meta SPC 1, of the summary of the product characteristics for the biocidal product family ‘INSECTICIDES FOR HOME USE’ as set out in Annex II to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2020/704. The notification was recorded under the case number BC-DR061688-14 in the Register for Biocidal Products.

(4) On 12 October 2020, the Agency submitted an opinion (4) on the proposed changes to the Commission, in accordance with Article 11(3) of Implementing Regulation (EU) No 354/2013. The opinion concludes that the amendments to the existing authorisation sought by the authorisation holder fall under Article 50(3)(a) of Regulation (EU) No 528/2012, and that after the implementation of the changes the conditions of Article 19 of that Regulation are still met. On the same date, the Agency transmitted to the Commission the revised summary of the biocidal product characteristics in all the official languages of the Union in accordance with Article 11(6) of Implementing Regulation (EU) No 354/2013.

(5) The Commission concurs with the opinion of the Agency and therefore considers it appropriate to amend the Union authorisation of the biocidal product family ‘INSECTICIDES FOR HOME USE’.

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