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

Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3600/92 of 11
December 1992 laying down the detailed rules for the
implementation of the first stage of the programme of
work referred to in Article 8(2) of Council Directive
91/414/EEC concerning the placing of plant protection
products on the market (3), as last amended by Regula-
tion (EC) No 2266/2000 (4), laid down the detailed rules
for
the
programme of work referred to in Article 8(2) of
Directive 91/414/EEC (hereinafter referred to as ‘the
Directive’). Pursuant
to that Regulation, Commission
Regulation (EC) No 933/94 of 27 April 1994 laying
down the active substances of plant protection products
and designating the rapporteur Member States for the
implementation of Commission Regulation (EEC) No
3600/92 (5), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No
2230/95 (6), laid down the list of active substances of
plant protection products to be assessed, with a view to
their possible inclusion in Annex I to the Directive.

stage of

In accordance with Article 5(1) of the Directive, an
active substance should be included in Annex I for a
period not exceeding 10 years if it may be expected that
neither the use of, nor residues from, plant protection
products containing the active substance will have any
harmful effects on human or animal health or on
groundwater or any unacceptable influence on the envir-
onment.

For lambda-cyhalothrin the effects on human health and
the environment have been assessed in accordance with
the provisions laid down in Regulation (EEC) No 3600/
92 for a range of uses proposed by the notifiers. Sweden
was designated as
rapporteur Member State under
Commission Regulation (EC) No 491/95 (7) amending
Regulation (EEC) No 3600/92 and Regulation (EC) No
933/94, in particular with regard to the integration of
the designated public authorities and the producers in

Article 8(2) of the Directive. Sweden submitted the rele-

Commission on 12 June 1996,
in accordance with
Article 7(1)(c) of Regulation (EEC) No 3600/92.

The dossier and the information from the review have
also been submitted to the Scientific Committee on
Plants for consultation. In its opinion of 28 January
2000 (8), the Committee noted that an acute dietary risk
assessment for consumers should be conducted and an
acute reference dose should be defined. Further, with
regard to the protection of

Committee emphasised that appropriate risk mitigation
measures must be applied to avoid unacceptable effects
on aquatic organisms

including bees. Those recommendations were taken into
consideration in the measures provided for
in this
Directive and in the relevant review report.

and non-target

It has appeared from the various examinations made
that plant protection products containing the active
substance concerned may be expected to satisfy,
in
general, the requirements laid down in Article 5(1)(a)
and (b) of the Directive, in particular with regard to the
uses which were examined and detailed in the review
report. It is therefore appropriate to include the active
substance concerned in Annex I, in order to ensure that
in all Member States the authorisations of plant protec-
tion products containing the active substance concerned
can be granted in accordance with the provisions of the
said Directive.

(7)

The Directive provides that after inclusion of an active
substance in Annex I, Member States must, within a
prescribed period, grant, vary or withdraw, as appro-
priate, the authorisations of the plant protection prod-
ucts containing the active substance. In particular, plant

protection products should not be authorised unless
account is taken of the conditions associated with the
inclusion of the active substance in Annex I and the
uniform principles laid down in the Directive on the
basis of a dossier satisfying the prescribed data require-
ments.

A reasonable period must be provided for before an
active substance is included in Annex I
in order to
permit Member States and the interested parties to
prepare themselves to meet the new requirements which
will result from the inclusion. Moreover, after inclusion,
a reasonable period is necessary to permit Member
States to implement the provisions of the Directive on
plant protection products containing lambda-cyhalo-
thrin.
In particular, Member States must, within that
period, review existing authorisations and, where appro-
priate, grant new authorisations in accordance with the
provisions of the Directive. A longer period should be
provided for the submission and assessment of
the
complete dossier of each plant protection product in
accordance with the uniform principles laid down in the
Directive. For plant protection products containing
several active substances, the complete evaluation on the
basis of the uniform principles can only be carried out
when all the active substances concerned have been
included in Annex I to the Directive.

It is appropriate to provide that the finalised review
report (except for confidential information) is kept avail-
able or made available by the Member States for consul-
tation by any interested parties.

The review report is required for the proper imple-
mentation by the Member States, of several sections of
the uniform principles laid down in the Directive, where
those principles refer to the evaluation of the data which
were submitted for the purpose of the inclusion of the
active substance in Annex I to the Directive.

(11) A number of substances have been included in Annex I
to the Directive by a series of Commission Directives,
namely Directive 97/73/EC (1), 98/47/EC (2), 1999/
1/EC (3), 1999/73/EC (4), 1999/80/EC (5), 2000/10/
EC (6), 2000/49/EC (7), 2000/50/EC (8). For the sake of
clarity and rationality,
the details concerning those
substances should be set out in tabular form and those
Directives should be repealed without prejudice to the
