            COMMISSION REGULATION (EU) No 1141/2010
of 7 December 2010
         
laying down the procedure for the renewal of the inclusion of a second group of active substances in Annex I to Council Directive 91/414/EEC and establishing the list of those substances
(Text with EEA relevance)


THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,


Having regard to Council Directive 91/414/EEC of 15 July 1991 concerning the placing of plant protection products on the market (1), and in particular Article 6(5) thereof,

Whereas:







(1)


Directive 91/414/EEC provides that, on request, the inclusion of an active substance may be renewed.












(2)


The Commission has received letters from several producers requesting a renewal for active substances included in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC and for which the inclusion period is to expire in 2011 and 2012.












(3)


It is necessary to provide for a procedure for the submission and appraisal of applications for the renewal of the inclusion in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC of those active substances.












(4)


Periods should be set for the different steps of that procedure to ensure that they are carried out rapidly.












(5)


Producers wishing to secure the renewal of active substances covered by this Regulation should be required to apply to the relevant rapporteur Member State.












(6)


Where two or more applications for the same active substance have been submitted separately and fulfil the requirements, the rapporteur Member States should communicate the updated contact details of each applicant to the other applicants to facilitate the submission of joint dossiers and to avoid, whenever possible, duplication of studies involving vertebrate animals.












(7)


In order to ensure the efficiency of renewal procedures, rapporteur Member States should organise, prior to the submission of the dossiers, a meeting to discuss the state of the art of the active substance and consider whether and, if necessary, how the dossiers submitted for the first inclusion are to be updated.












(8)


The dossiers submitted for renewal should include new data relevant to the active substance and new risk assessments to reflect any changes in data requirements and any changes in scientific or technical knowledge since the active substance was first included in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC, as reflected in guidance documents published by the Commission and in relevant opinions from the Scientific Committee on Plants or the European Food Safety Authority (hereinafter ‘the Authority’). The range of uses submitted should reflect the representative uses. The applicant should demonstrate, on the basis of the data submitted, that for one or more preparations the requirements of Article 5 of Directive 91/414/EEC will be fulfilled.












(9)


The applicants should list separately vertebrate studies to be submitted with the dossier and the rapporteur Member States should make such lists available on request to promote early discussions on the sharing of vertebrates data to avoid duplication of vertebrate studies.












(10)


Technical or scientific information about an active substance, in particular with regard to potentially dangerous effects, submitted within the relevant period by third parties should be taken into consideration in the evaluations. The applicants should be given the opportunity to comment on such information.












(11)


The renewal assessment reports prepared by the rapporteur Member States may, where necessary, be the subject of a consultation of experts organised by the Authority on request of the Commission before they are submitted to the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health.












(12)


The rules on data protection of Article 13 of Directive 91/414/EEC are intended to provide an incentive to applicants to assemble the detailed studies required under Annexes II and III to that Directive. However, data protection should not be extended artificially by the production of new studies which are not needed to decide on the renewal of an active substance. To this end, applicants should be required to identify explicitly which studies are new compared to the original dossier used for the first inclusion of the substance in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EC and to provide justification for their submission.












(13)


In view of the particular situation, where parts of the renewal procedure still take place while Directive 91/414/EEC applies while the decisions on the renewals will be taken under Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 21 October 2009 concerning the placing of plant protection products on the market and repealing Council Directives 79/117/EEC and 91/414/EEC (2), applicants are encouraged, as regards the format of the updating statement and the format and content of the dossier, to pay particular attention to the specific guidance documents published by the Commission.












(14)


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





HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 11

Checking of supplementary dossiers


1.   Within 1 month of receipt of the supplementary dossiers, the rapporteur Member State shall check whether the supplementary dossiers have been submitted by the date set in column D of Annex I for the respective active substance and whether they contain all the elements provided for in Article 10(1) and 10(3), using the checklist referred to in Article 10(1)(i).


2.   Where the supplementary dossiers have been submitted by the applicable date and contain all the elements provided for in Article 10(1) and 10(3), the rapporteur Member State shall, within the period provided for in paragraph 1, inform the applicant, the Commission and the Authority of the date of receipt and that the dossiers are considered to be complete.
The rapporteur Member State shall then start assessing the active substance.


3.   Where the supplementary dossiers have not been submitted by the applicable date or do not contain all the elements provided for in Article 10(1) and 10(3), the rapporteur Member State shall, within the period provided for in paragraph 1, inform the applicant of the date of receipt and explain which elements are missing. It shall at the same time set the applicant a period of 14 days to render the dossier compliant. That period shall extend the period of 1 month provided for in paragraph 1.
Where, at the end of the period set for rendering the supplementary dossiers compliant, the dossiers contain all the elements provided for in Article 10(1) and 10(3), paragraph 2 shall apply.
Where, at the end of the period set for rendering the supplementary dossiers compliant, the dossiers still do not contain all the elements provided for in Article 10(1) and 10(3), the rapporteur Member State shall immediately inform the applicant, the Commission and the Authority that the application is rejected, explaining the reasons for its decision.


4.   Where for an active substance no supplementary dossiers that fulfil the requirements of Article 10(1) and 10(3) have been submitted by the applicable date, in accordance with Directive 91/414/EEC, the active substance shall be removed from Annex I to that Directive. Its non-inclusion and the withdrawal of the authorisations of plant-protection products containing that active substance shall be provided for.



Article 12

Withdrawal and replacement of the applicant


1.   An applicant may withdraw its application by informing the rapporteur Member State. In that case the applicant shall at the same time inform the co-rapporteur Member State, the Commission, the Authority and any other applicants having submitted an application for the same active substance of the withdrawal.


2.   An applicant may be replaced by another producer in respect of all of its rights and obligations under this Regulation by informing the rapporteur Member State, through a joint declaration by the applicant and the other producer. In that case the applicant and the other producer shall at the same time inform the co-rapporteur Member State, the Commission, the Authority and any other applicants having submitted an application for the same active substance of the replacement.


3.   Where an applicant withdraws its application and where no other application has been submitted for the same active substance fulfilling the requirements of Articles 4, 5, 9 and 10, the active substance shall be removed from Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC. Its non-inclusion and the withdrawal of the authorisations of plant-protection products containing that active substance shall be provided for.


4.   Paragraph 3 shall not apply where several applicants have jointly submitted their dossiers and not all of these applicants have withdrawn their application. In such a case the procedure for the renewal of the inclusion of the active substance shall continue on the basis of the submitted dossiers.



Article 13

Submission of information by third parties

Any person or Member State wishing to submit information which might contribute to the assessment, in particular with regard to the potentially dangerous effects of the active substance or its residues on human and animal health and on the environment, shall do so to the rapporteur Member State by the date set out for the respective active substance in column D of Annex I.
The rapporteur Member State shall, without delay, communicate any information received to the co-rapporteur Member State, the Authority, and the applicant.

the points on which the co-rapporteur Member State did not agree with the assessment by the rapporteur Member State, where relevant.






2.   For the assessment, the rapporteur Member State shall take into account the supplementary dossiers, any information submitted by a third party, comments on such information received from the applicant and, where appropriate, the original dossiers.


3.   Where the rapporteur Member State needs additional information, it shall set a period for the applicant to supply that information. That period shall not lead to an extension of the period of 11 months provided for in paragraph 1.


4.   The rapporteur Member State may consult the Authority and request additional technical or scientific information from other Member States. Such consultations and requests shall not lead to an extension of the period of 11 months provided for in paragraph 1.


5.   Information submitted by the applicant without having been requested, or after expiry of the period set for its submission in accordance with the first subparagraph of paragraph 3, shall not be taken into account, unless submitted in accordance with Article 7 of Directive 91/414/EEC.


6.   When submitting the renewal assessment report to the Commission, the rapporteur Member State shall request the applicant to submit the supplementary summary dossier, updated to include the additional information requested by the rapporteur Member State in accordance with paragraph 3 or submitted in accordance with Article 7 of Directive 91/414/EEC, to the Authority, the other Member States and, on request, to the Commission.



Article 15

Comments upon the renewal assessment report and access to that report and to the supplementary summary dossiers


1.   After receiving the renewal assessment report, the Authority shall immediately communicate it for comments to the applicant and to the Member States. Such comments shall be communicated to the Authority within 2 months, which shall collate and forward those comments, including its own, to the Commission.


2.   Upon request from any interested party, the Authority shall make the renewal assessment report available, excluding any information for which confidential treatment has been requested and is justified pursuant to Article 14 of Directive 91/414/EEC.


3.   The Authority shall make the supplementary summary dossier available to the public, with the exception of parts of it for which confidential treatment has been requested and is justified pursuant to Article 14 of Directive 91/414/EEC.



Article 16

Evaluation of the renewal assessment report


1.   The Commission shall, without delay, examine the renewal assessment report and the comments received in accordance with Article 15(1).


2.   The Commission may consult the Authority asking it for a conclusion on the entire risk assessment or on specific points thereof. Such consultation may include a request to organise a consultation of experts. The Authority shall use the guidance documents available at the time of the entry into force of this Regulation.
The Authority shall deliver its conclusion at the latest 6 months after receipt of the request.
Where paragraph 3 applies, that period shall be extended by the periods referred to in the first and the second subparagraph of that paragraph.


3.   Where the Authority considers that additional information or data from the applicant is necessary to comply with a request made by the Commission pursuant to paragraph 2, it shall in consultation with the rapporteur Member State, set a period of maximum 1 month for the applicant to supply it. It shall at the same time inform the Commission and the Member States. The applicant shall communicate the requested information to the Authority, the rapporteur Member State and the co-rapporteur Member State.
The rapporteur Member State shall, within 2 months of receipt, evaluate the information received and send its evaluation to the Authority.


4.   Information submitted by the applicant without having been requested, or after expiry of the period set for its submission in accordance with the first subparagraph of paragraph 3, shall not be taken into account, unless submitted in accordance with Article 7 of Directive 91/414/EEC.



Article 17
