                COMMISSION DELEGATED REGULATION (EU) …/...
                                       of 15.5.2020
   amending Annexes I and V to Regulation (EU) No 649/2012 of the European Parliament

 ---pagebreak---                                 EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM
   1.        CONTEXT OF THE DELEGATED ACT
   Pursuant to Article 23(1) of Regulation (EU) No 649/2012 concerning the export and import
   of hazardous chemicals, at least once a year the Commission is required to review, on the
   basis of developments in Union law and under the Convention, the list of chemicals in Annex
   I to that Regulation. Since the last review of Annex I a number of regulatory actions in respect
   of certain chemicals have been taken under Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 concerning the
   placing of plant protection products on the market. In addition, the legal requirements under
   Regulation (EU) No 528/2012 concerning the making available on the market and use of
   biocidal products and Regulation (EU) No 2017/852 on mercury have been taken into
   account. At the ninth meeting of the Conference of the Parties to the Rotterdam Convention,
   held in Geneva from 29 April to 10 May 2019, decisions were taken to include further
   chemicals in Annex III to the Convention.
   2.        CONSULTATIONS PRIOR TO THE ADOPTION OF THE ACT
   The draft amendment was consulted with an expert group (the 'PIC DNA meeting') on 15
   October 2019 and on 5 February 2020 (by a written procedure) and comments were taken into
   account. The group is composed of all the relevant stakeholders - representatives of Member
   States, of the European Chemicals Agency, the chemicals industry and the civil society.
   A public consultation was carried out for the draft act from 14 February to 13 March 2020
   during which 4 comments were received. The comments informed about the importance of
   clothianidin for malaria vector control in third countries and about the approved use of that
   chemical for product type 18 under Regulation (EU) No 528/2012, which is currently the only
   approved use and had been the main use under that Regulation in the past. Since the status
   under Regulation (EU) No 528/2012 had already been considered in the context of this
   measure and it had been concluded that the chemical is severely restricted for use as a
   pesticide since virtually all use is prohibited, the proposal is based on the current legal status
   of the chemical. However, a change was made that addresses that information.
   3.        LEGAL ELEMENTS OF THE DELEGATED ACT
   The delegated act amends the lists of chemicals in Annexes I and V on the basis of
   developments in Union law and under the Convention, as required by Article 23(1) of
   Regulation (EU) No 649/2012. The legal basis for the proposed delegated act is Article 23(4)
   (a) and (c) of Regulation (EU) No 649/2012.

       2018/191414, the Commission decided not to renew the approval of the substances
       chlorothalonil, chlorpropham, desmedipham, dimethoate, diquat, ethoprophos,
       fenamidone, flurtamone, oxasulfuron, propineb, pymetrozine and quinoxyfen,
       respectively, as active substances under Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 of the
       European Parliament and of the Council15, with the effect that those substances are
       banned from all uses in the category “pesticide” due to the absence of any other use in
       that category. Therefore, those substances should be added to the lists of chemicals in
       Parts 1 and 2 of Annex I to Regulation (EU) No 649/2012.
   (3) By Implementing Regulation (EU) 2018/150016, the Commission decided not to renew
       the approval of the substance thiram as active substance under Regulation (EC) No
       1107/2009, with the effect that that substance is banned from use in the subcategory
       “pesticide in the group of plant protection products” as referred to in Regulation (EU)
       No 649/2012. Since thiram is only approved under Regulation (EU) No 528/2012 of

 ---pagebreak---        the European Parliament and of the Council17 for use in biocidal products for product-
       type 9, which fall in the subcategory "other pesticide including biocides" as referred to
       in Regulation (EU) No 649/2012, virtually all use of that substance is prohibited at the
       level of the category "pesticide". Therefore, thiram is considered severely restricted at
       the level of the category "pesticide" and thus should be added to the lists of chemicals
       in Parts 1 and 2 of Annex I to Regulation (EU) No 649/2012.
   (4) By Implementing Regulation (EU) 2018/186518, the Commission decided not to renew
       the approval of the substance propiconazole as active substance under Regulation (EC)
       No 1107/2009, with the effect that that substance is banned from use in the
       subcategory “pesticide in the group of plant protection products”. That ban does not
       amount to a severe restriction of the use of the substance at the level of the category
       "pesticide", considering that propiconazole is approved for several uses in the
       subcategory "other pesticide including biocides". Propiconazole has been approved for
       use in biocidal products of product-types 7, 8 and 9 under Regulation (EU) No
       528/2012. Therefore, propiconazole should be added to the list of chemicals in Part 1
       of Annex I to Regulation (EU) No 649/2012.
   (5) An application for renewal of the approval of clothianidin and thiamethoxam had been
       submitted, but the applicants withdrew that application after the adoption of the
       Implementing Regulations (EU) 2018/78419 and (EU) 2018/78520, by which the
       Commission decided to amend the conditions of approval of the active substances
       clothianidin and thiamethoxam, respectively, under Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009.
       Since those approvals of clothianidin and thiamethoxam expired, the use of those
       substances is banned in the subcategory “pesticide in the group of plant protection
       products”. That ban amounts to a severe restriction of the use of the substances at the
       level of the category "pesticide", since virtually all use of clothianidin and
       thiamethoxam is prohibited as clothianidin and thiamethoxam are only approved for
       use in biocidal products of product-type 18 under Regulation (EU) No 528/2012 in the
       subcategory "other pesticide including biocides". Therefore, clothianidin and
       thiamethoxam should be added to the lists of chemicals in Parts 1 and 2 of Annex I to
       Regulation (EU) No 649/2012.
   (6) By Implementing Regulation (EU) 2018/78321, the Commission decided to amend the
       conditions of approval of the active substance imidacloprid under Regulation (EC) No
       1107/2009, with the effect that the use of that substance is severely restricted in the
       subcategory “pesticide in the group of plant protection products”. That severe
       restriction does not amount to a severe restriction of the use of the substance at the
   17
       Regulation (EU) No 528/2012 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 22 May 2012
       concerning the making available on the market and use of biocidal products (OJ L 167, 27.6.2012, p. 1).

 ---pagebreak---          level of the category "pesticide", considering that imidacloprid is approved for several
         uses in the subcategory "other pesticide including biocides". Imidacloprid has been
         approved for use in biocidal products of product-type 18 under Regulation (EU) No
         528/2012. In addition, imidacloprid is used in veterinary medicinal products in
         accordance with Directive 2001/82/EC of the European Parliament and of the
         Council22. Therefore, imidacloprid should be added to the list of chemicals in Part 1 of
         Annex I to Regulation (EU) No 649/2012.
   (7)   By Implementing Regulation (EU) 2015/40423, the Commission decided to extend the
         approval period of the active substance glufosinate under Regulation (EC) No
         1107/2009, following an application for renewal of the approval of that active
         substance. Since that application has been withdrawn, glufosinate is no longer
         approved as active substance under Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009, with the effect
         that that substance is banned from all uses in the category “pesticide” due to the
         absence of any other use in that category. It should therefore be added to the lists of
         chemicals in Parts 1 and 2 of Annex I to Regulation (EU) No 649/2012.
   (8)   At its ninth meeting in May 2019, the Conference of the Parties to the Rotterdam
         Convention decided to include the substances phorate and hexabromocyclododecane
         in Annex III to that Convention, with the effect that those substances became subject
         to the Prior Informed Consent procedure under that Convention. Phorate should
         therefore be added to the lists of chemicals in Parts 1 and 3 of Annex I to Regulation
         (EU) No 649/2012. Hexabromocyclododecane is already listed in Annex V to
         Regulation (EU) No 649/2012 and thus banned for export. Therefore, it should be
         added to the list of chemicals in Part 3 of Annex I to that Regulation.
   (9)   Regulation (EU) 2017/852 of the European Parliament and of the Council24 prohibits
         the export of mercury, certain mixtures of metallic mercury with other substances,
         certain mercury compounds and certain mercury-added products. Those export bans
         should be reflected in Part 2 of Annex V to Regulation (EU) No 649/2012.
   (10)  Regulation (EU) No 649/2012 should therefore be amended accordingly.
   (11)  It is appropriate to provide for a reasonable period of time for interested parties to take
         the measures necessary to comply with this Regulation and for Member States to take
         the measures necessary for its implementation,
