COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 1112/2002

of 20 June 2002

laying down the detailed rules for the implementation of the fourth stage of the programme of
work referred to in Article 8(2) of Council Directive 91/414/EEC

(Text with EEA relevance)

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/
48/EC (2), and in particular Article 8(2) second subparagraph
thereof,

Whereas:

(1)

(2)

(3)

The Commission is to undertake a programme of work
for the gradual examination of active substances that
were on the market two years after the date of notifica-
tion of Directive 91/414/EEC. The first stage of this pro-
gramme was laid down by Commission Regulation (EEC)
No 3600/92 of 11 December 1992 laying down the de-
tailed 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 Commission Regulation (EC) No 2266/
2000 (4). This first stage is ongoing. The second and
third stages of work were laid down by Commission
Regulation (EC) No 451/2000 of 28 February 2000 lay-
ing down the detailed rules for the implementation of
the second and third stages of the work programme re-
ferred to in Article 8(2) of Council Directive 91/414/
EEC (5), and are also ongoing.

A fourth stage of work should be provided for all the ex-
isting active substances not covered by the first, second
and third stages of the programme. For certain categories
of active substances, it is desirable to indicate which par-
ticular active substances or under which conditions of
use they should be included in the fourth stage of the
programme.

A notification procedure should be provided by which
interested producers can inform the Commission of their
interest in securing the inclusion of an active substance
in Annex I of Directive 91/414/EEC and of their under-
taking to submit all the required information for a prop-
er evaluation of, and decision on, that active substance
in the light of the criteria for inclusion set out in Article
5 of
the Directive. Such information would permit
further prioritisation of the work programme and enable

decisions to be taken on whether
should stay on the market after 25 July 2003 pending
the outcome of the evaluation on whether their use may
be expected to satisfy the requirements of Article 5 of
Directive 91/414/EEC.

It is necessary to define the obligations of notifiers with
regard to the formats, periods and recipient authorities
for the information to be submitted. Different levels of
notification are appropriate for different categories of ac-
tive substances. For certain categories of active sub-
stances, data requirements and evaluation criteria are de-
the
veloped. Therefore,
interested producers provide detailed information relat-
ing to the current stage of completeness of their dossiers
and on the endpoints and undertake to provide a full
data package within a set deadline. For the remaining ac-
tive substances the interested producers should provide
basic information in order to identify adequately the ac-
tive substance and its uses and also undertake to provide
a data package within a set deadline.

should be required that

it

Notification should not be a prerequisite for the possibi-
lity after inclusion of the active substance in Annex I to
Directive 91/414/EEC to place plant protection products
on the market subject to the provisions of Article 13 of
the Directive.

The procedures established in this Regulation should not
prejudice procedures and actions to be undertaken in the
framework of other Community legislation, in particular,
under Council Directive 79/117/EEC of 21 December
1978 prohibiting the placing on the market and use of
plant protection products containing certain active sub-
stances (6), as last amended by Commission Directive 91/
188/EEC (7), where information becomes available to the
Commission showing that
its requirements may be
satisfied.

The Commission will, subject to the conclusions of the
progress report on the programme of work to the Eur-
opean Parliament and the Council, referred to in the
third subparagraph of Article 8(2) of Directive 91/414/
EEC, adopt further detailed regulatory provisions permit-
ting the finalisation as soon as possible of the evaluation
and decision making of active substances for which the
provisions of the present Regulation concerning notifica-
tion are satisfied.

(8)

The fourth subparagraph of Article 8(2) of Directive 91/
414/EEC provides for a Commission Decision not to in-
clude in Annex I active substances in cases where the re-
quirements of Article 5 of the Directive are not satisfied
or the requisite information and data have not been sub-
mitted within the prescribed time period and for Mem-
ber States to withdraw authorisations of plant protection
products containing such active substances. However, it
may in particular cases and in the light of detailed rea-
sons provided by Member States, be appropriate to delay
such withdrawal for certain uses which are essential and
for which there is no alternative to protect efficiently
plants or plant products, so as to allow the development
of alternatives replacing the use of withdrawn products.
The necessity to re-examine these provisions will have to
be demonstrated on a case-by-case basis.

(9) Where,

for a particular active substance, the require-
ments of the present Regulation concerning notification
interested parties are not prevented
are not satisfied,
from seeking inclusion of such active substances in An-
nex I of Directive 91/414/EEC, through the procedures
of Article 6(2) of Directive 91/414/EEC, at a later date.

(10)

It is appropriate for manufacturers to bear the costs of
the evaluation needed to demonstrate that their products
are safe to market and therefore a fee has to be paid to
the authority designated by the Commission to examine
the notifications for the active substances.

(11)

The measures provided for in this Regulation are in ac-
cordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee
on the Food Chain and Animal Health,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

mitted a notification, a Member State may declare its interest in
securing the inclusion of that active substance in Annex I to the
Directive by notifying the body designated in Annex V in accor-
dance with Article 4 or 5. Such notifications must be submitted
as soon as possible, and no later than three months after the
Commission has informed the Member States that no notifica-
tion was submitted for that substance. A Member State submit-
ting a notification shall thereafter be treated as the producer for
the purposes of the evaluation of the active substance con-
cerned.

3.
The Commission shall, at the latest six months after the
deadlines referred to in Article 4(2) and Article 5(2), inform the
Committee on the admissibility of the notifications received
taking into account the criteria referred to in Annex IV, parts 1
