of 14 January 2015
amending Implementing Regulation (EU) No 686/2012 as regards the rapporteur Member State for the active substance mecoprop-P
(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. Upon request of the applicant and in agreement with the Member States concerned, it is considered necessary to change the rapporteur Member State for mecoprop-P while respecting the balance as regards the distribution of the responsibilities and the work between Member States. The evaluation for the purposes of the renewal procedures for mecoprop-P should from now on be allocated to the United Kingdom.
(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,
