The following existing active substances have been
included in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC: maleic

propyzamide by Commission Directive 2003/39/EC (5);
and mecoprop

and mecoprop-p
Directive 2003/70/EC (6).

The new active substances isoxaflutole, trifloxystrobin,
carfentrazone-ethyl and fenamidone were included in
Annex I
to Directive 91/414/EEC by Commission
Directive 2003/68/EC (7).

The inclusion in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC of the
active substances concerned was based on the assessment
of the information submitted concerning the proposed
use. Information relating to this use has been submitted
by
accordance with
States
Article 4(1)(f) of Directive 91/414/EEC. The information
available has been reviewed and is sufficient to allow
certain maximum residue levels (MRLs) to be fixed.
