2. Article 6 (1) and (3) shall be replaced by the following:
'1. The duration of the common measure shall be not more than seven years from the date on which the programme is approved.'
'3. The total estimated cost of the common measure to be borne by the Fund shall be 115 million ECU.'

approving aluminium phosphide releasing phosphine as an active substance for use in biocidal products for product type 20
(Text with EEA relevance)
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION

Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to 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 (1), and in particular the third subparagraph of Article 89(1) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Commission Regulation (EC) No 1451/2007 (2) establishes a list of active substances to be assessed, with a view to their possible inclusion in Annex I, IA or IB to Directive 98/8/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council (3). That list includes aluminium phosphide.
(2) Aluminium phosphide has been evaluated in accordance with Article 11(2) of Directive 98/8/EC for use in product-type 23, products for the control of other vertebrates, as defined in Annex V to that Directive, which corresponds to product-type 20 as defined in Annex V to Regulation (EU) No 528/2012.
(3) Germany was designated as Rapporteur Member State and submitted the competent authority report, together with a recommendation, to the Commission on 23 July 2010 in accordance with Article 14(4) and (6) of Regulation (EC) No 1451/2007.
(4) The competent authority report was reviewed by the Member States and the Commission. In accordance with Article 15(4) of Regulation (EC) No 1451/2007, the findings of the review were incorporated, within the Standing Committee on Biocidal Products on 27 September 2013, in an assessment report.
(5) It appears from that report that biocidal products used for product-type 23 and containing aluminium phosphide may be expected to satisfy the requirements laid down in Article 5 of Directive 98/8/EC.
(6) It is therefore appropriate to approve aluminium phosphide releasing phosphine for use in biocidal products for product-type 20.
(7) Since the evaluation did not address nanomaterials, the approval should not cover such materials pursuant to Article 4(4) of Regulation (EU) No 528/2012.
(8) A reasonable period should be allowed to elapse before an active substance is approved, in order to permit Member States, interested parties, and the Commission where appropriate, to prepare themselves to meet the new requirements entailed.
(9) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Biocidal Products,
Aluminium phosphide releasing phosphine shall be approved as an active substance for use in biocidal products for product-type 20, subject to the specifications and conditions set out in the Annex.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the twentieth day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.
