COMMISSION DIRECTIVE 2009/155/EC
of 30 November 2009
amending Council Directive 91/414/EEC as regards the purity level required of the active substance metazachlor
(Text with EEA relevance)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 91/414/EEC of 15 July 1991 concerning the placing of plant protection products on the market (1), and in particular the second indent of the second subparagraph of Article 6(1) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) After an examination in which the United Kingdom acted as rapporteur Member State, Commission Directive 2008/116/EC (2) included the active substance metazachlor in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC. With regard to that substance, Directive 2008/116/EC has set a maximum level of 0,01 % for toluene as a manufacturing impurity. That level was based on the specification submitted by the notifier.
(2) The notifier has asked for an amendment to Directive 91/414/EEC raising that maximum level to 0,05 %. It submitted the necessary information in support of its request. On 2 February 2009 the rapporteur Member State presented an addendum (3) to the draft assessment report concluding that a maximum level of 0,05 % does not cause any risk in addition to the risks already taken into account in the Commission review report for that substance.
(3) The maximum level of toluene as a manufacturing impurity of metazachlor should therefore be raised to 0,05 %.
(4) It is therefore appropriate to amend Directive 91/414/EEC accordingly.
(5) Since this Directive should start to apply on the same date as Directive 2008/116/EC, this Directive should enter into force as soon as possible.
(6) The measures provided for in this Directive are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
In row 223 (metazachlor) of Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC, in column 4 (purity), ‘0,01 %’ is replaced by ‘0,05 %’.
Member States shall adopt and publish, by 31 January 2010 at the latest, the laws, regulations and administrative provisions necessary to comply with this Directive. They shall forthwith communicate to the Commission the text of those provisions and a correlation table between those provisions and this Directive.
They shall apply those provisions from 1 February 2010.
When Member States adopt those provisions, they shall contain a reference to this Directive or be accompanied by such a reference on the occasion of their official publication. Member States shall determine how such reference is to be made.
This Directive shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
This Directive is addressed to the Member States.

Having regard to Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3302/90 of 15 November 1990 laying down detailed rules on the transfer of rights to replant vines (1), and in particular Article 7 (1) thereof,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 3330/91 of 7 November 1991 on the statistics relating to the trading of goods between Member States (1), amended by Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3046/92 (2), and in particular Article 23 (3) and Article 30 thereof,
Whereas the quantity of goods is a reliable and stable item of information which is necessary for comparisons of international trade;
Whereas the quantity units are used for checking the reliability of the data collected and for calculating indices;
Whereas, pursuant to Regulation (EEC) No 3046/92, of the quantity units, net mass, in kilograms, is the main indicator and should in principle be mentioned for every type of goods but is not the most appropriate unit of measurement for certain products; whereas the party responsible for providing information should therefore be exempted from indicating net mass in such cases;
Whereas this simplification might cause practical difficulties for certain national administrations; whereas three Member States are consequently authorised to postpone the application of this Regulation until 1 July 1997;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are consonant with the opinion of the Committee on statistics relating to the trading of goods between Member States,
Regulation (EEC) No 3046/92 is modified as follows:
(a) Article 11 (a) shall be replaced by:
'(a) "net mass" shall mean the actual mass of the goods excluding all packaging and shall be given in kilograms. However, the specification of net mass for the subheadings of the combined nomenclature set out in Annex IV shall be optional for the parties responsible for providing information.`
(b) The annex to this Regulation shall be included as Annex IV.

Having regard to the Partnership Agreement between the members of the African, Caribbean and Pacific Group of States of the one part, and the European Community and its Member States of the other part, signed in Cotonou on 23 June 2000 (1),
Having regard to the Internal Agreement of 12 September 2000 between representatives of the Governments of the Member States, meeting within the Council, on the financing and administration of Community aid under the Financial Protocol to the Partnership Agreement between the African, Caribbean and Pacific States and the European Community and its Member States signed in Cotonou (Benin) on 23 June 2000 and the allocation of financial assistance for the overseas countries and territories to which part four of the EC Treaty applies (2), and in particular Article 8(2) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission drafted in agreement with the European Investment Bank (EIB),
Whereas:
(1) Council Decision 2003/583/EC (3) indicates that the total additional allocation is made available for a four-year period as of the date on which the account is opened.
(2) Decision 2005/446/EC of the Representatives of the Governments of the Member States meeting within the Council (4) sets the deadline for committing the funds of the 9th European Development Fund (EDF) at 31 December 2007.
(3) Because the transition in the Democratic Republic of Congo took longer to complete than anticipated in the light of delays in preparations for the electoral process, the deadline for committing the funds of the additional allocation referred to by Decision 2003/583/EC has had to be extended.
(4) Accordingly, the deadline for committing the additional funds provided for in Decision 2003/583/EC should be aligned with the deadline provided for in Decision 2005/446/EC,
The third sentence of Article 4 of Decision 2003/583/EC is replaced by the following:
‘The deadline for committing the funds deposited on this account shall be 31 December 2007, as per Decision 2005/446/EC. On the completion of all operations funded from the allocation, the bank account will be closed and any remaining funds will be refunded to Member States. The account will be closed no later than 31 December 2011.’
This Decision shall enter into force on the day of its adoption.
