         COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) 2017/243
   of 10 February 2017
   amending Implementing Regulation (EU) No 686/2012 as regards the co-rapporteur Member State for the active substance metaldehyde
   (Text with EEA relevance)
   THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
   Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
   Having regard to 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 (1), and in particular Article 19 thereof,
   Whereas:
   
               (1)
            
            
               Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 686/2012 (2) allocates the evaluation of each active substance to a rapporteur Member State and a co-rapporteur Member State. In agreement with the Member States concerned, it is considered necessary to change the co-rapporteur Member State for the active substance metaldehyde while respecting the balance as regards the distribution of the responsibilities and the work between Member States. The co-evaluation for the purposes of the renewal procedures for metaldehyde should be allocated to Austria.
            
         
               (2)
            
            
               Implementing Regulation (EU) No 686/2012 should therefore be amended accordingly.
            
         
               (3)
            
            
               The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Plants, Animals, Food and Feed,
            
         HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
