   Application, first, for suspension of operation of Commission Decision 2008/902/EC of 7 November 2008 concerning the non-inclusion of napropamide in Annex I to Council Directive 91/414/EEC and the withdrawal of authorisations for plant protection products containing that substance (OJ 2008 L 326, p. 35), until delivery of the judgment in the main action, and, second, for interim relief
   
      Operative part of the order
   
   
               1.
            
            
               The operation of Commission Decision 2008/902/EC of 7 November 2008 concerning the non-inclusion of napropamide in Annex I to Council Directive 91/414/EEC and the withdrawal of authorisations for plant protection products containing that substance is suspended up to 7 May 2010 — but at the latest up to the date on which the decision in the main action is delivered.
            
         
               2.
            
            
               That suspension is subject to the condition that the parties lodge with the Registry of the Court, by no later than 15 March 2010, observations on the course of the accelerated procedure instituted, in regard to napropamide, pursuant to Article 13 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 33/2008 of 17 January 2008 laying down detailed rules for the application of Council Directive 91/414 as regards a regular and an accelerated procedure for the assessment of active substances which were part of the programme of work referred to in Article 8(2) of that Directive but have not been included in its Annex I.
            
         
               3.
            
            
               The Commission is ordered to take, should the applicant so request, the measures necessary to ensure that the present order is fully effective in regard to those Member States which, prior to 7 May 2009, may already have cancelled, withdrawn or refused, pursuant to Article 2 of Decision 2008/902, authorisations for plant protection products containing napropamide.
            
         
               4.
            
            
               Costs are reserved.
