         COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) 2016/1938
   of 4 November 2016
   approving citric acid as an existing active substance for use in biocidal products of product-type 2
   (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 Delegated Regulation (EU) No 1062/2014 (2) establishes a list of existing active substances to be evaluated for their possible approval for use in biocidal products. That list includes citric acid.

               (2)

               Citric acid has been evaluated in accordance with Article 16(2) of Directive 98/8/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council (3) for use in products of product-type 1, human hygiene biocidal products, as defined in Annex V to that Directive, which corresponds to product-type 1 as defined in Annex V to Regulation (EU) No 528/2012.

               (3)

               However, the evaluation covered an anti-viral tissue impregnated with citric acid which would be placed on the market with the claim ‘kills 99,9 % of cold & flu viruses in the tissue’. In accordance with Article 1 of Commission Implementing Decision (EU) 2015/1985 (4), such anti-viral tissue is to be considered as a biocidal product falling within product-type 2 as defined in Annex V to Regulation (EU) No 528/2012. Therefore, this approval of citric acid as an existing active substance should only cover its use in biocidal products of product-type 2, disinfectants and algaecides not intended for direct application to humans or animals.

               (4)

               Belgium was designated as evaluating competent authority and submitted the assessment report together with its recommendations on 23 August 2013.

               (5)

               In accordance with Article 7(2) of Delegated Regulation (EU) No 1062/2014, the opinion of the European Chemicals Agency was formulated on 16 February 2016 for use in products of product-type 2 by the Biocidal Products Committee, having regard to the conclusions of the evaluating competent authority.

               (6)

               According to that opinion, biocidal products of product-type 2 containing citric acid may be expected to satisfy the requirements of Article 5 of Directive 98/8/EC, provided that certain specifications and conditions concerning their use are complied with.

               (7)

               It is therefore appropriate to approve citric acid for use in biocidal products of product-type 2, subject to compliance with certain specifications and conditions.

               (8)

               A reasonable period should be allowed to elapse before an active substance is approved in order to permit interested parties to take the preparatory measures necessary to meet the new requirements.

               (9)

               The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Biocidal Products,

         HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
   Article 1
   Citric acid is approved as an active substance for use in biocidal products of product-type 2, subject to the specifications and conditions set out in the Annex.
   Article 2
   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.

         (1)  The purity indicated in this column was the minimum degree of purity of the active substance evaluated in accordance with Article 89(1) of Regulation (EU) No 528/2012. The active substance in the product placed on the market can be of equal or different purity if it has been proven technically equivalent with the evaluated active substance.

         COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) 2015/2233
   of 2 December 2015
   amending Implementing Regulation (EU) No 540/2011 as regards the conditions of approval of the active substance haloxyfop-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 the second alternative of Article 21(3) and Article 78(2) thereof,
   Whereas:

               (1)

               Commission Directive 2010/86/EU (2) included haloxyfop-P as active substance in Annex I to Council Directive 91/414/EEC (3) under the condition that the Member States concerned ensure that the notifier at whose request haloxyfop-P was included in that Annex provides further confirmatory information on the risk for groundwater contamination by its soil metabolites.

               (2)

               Active substances included in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC are deemed to have been approved under Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 and are listed in Part A of the Annex to Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 540/2011 (4).

               (3)

               The notifier submitted additional information taking the form of studies with a view to confirm the risk assessment for groundwater to the rapporteur Member State Austria within the time period provided for its submission.

               (4)

               Austria assessed the additional information submitted by the notifier. It submitted its assessment, in the form of an addendum to the draft assessment report, to the other Member States, the Commission and the European Food Safety Authority, hereinafter ‘the Authority’, on 15 October 2013.

               (5)

               The Commission consulted the Authority which presented its opinion on the risk assessment of haloxyfop-P on 28 November 2014 (5).

               (6)

               The Commission considered that the additional information provided by the notifier demonstrated that metabolite DE-535 pyridinone must be considered to be toxicologically relevant and, as a consequence, should not occur in concentrations above the regulatory limit for groundwater of 0,1 μg/l.

               (7)

               The Commission invited the notifier to submit its comments on the review report for haloxyfop-P.

               (8)

               The Commission has concluded that the further confirmatory information required has not fully been provided and that an unacceptable risk for groundwater cannot be excluded except by imposing further restrictions.

               (9)

               It is confirmed that the active substance haloxyfop-P is to be deemed to have been approved under Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009. In order to preclude the occurrence of that metabolite in groundwater in excess of the above limit referred to in recital 6, it is, however, appropriate to amend the conditions of use of this active substance, in particular by setting limits to the rates and frequency of its application.

               (10)

               The Annex to Implementing Regulation (EU) No 540/2011 should therefore be amended accordingly.

               (11)

               Member States should be provided with time to amend or withdraw authorisations for plant protection products containing haloxyfop-P.

               (12)

               For plant protection products containing haloxyfop-P, where Member States grant any grace period in accordance with Article 46 of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009, this period should expire at the latest 18 months after the entry into force of this Regulation.

               (13)

               The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Plants, Animals, Food and Feed,
