         COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) No 202/2013
   of 8 March 2013
   amending Regulation (EC) No 555/2008 as regards the submission of support programmes in the wine sector and trade with third countries
   THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
   Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
   Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 of 22 October 2007 establishing a common organisation of agricultural markets and on specific provisions for certain agricultural products (Single CMO Regulation) (1), and in particular Article 103za, in conjunction with Article 4 thereof,
   Whereas:

               (1)

               Article 103n(1a) of Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 foresees that, by 1 August 2013, Member States may decide to reduce, from 2015, the amount available for the support programmes referred to in Annex Xb in order to increase their national ceilings for directs payments referred to in Article 40 of Council Regulation (EC) No 73/2009 of 19 January 2009 establishing common rules for direct support schemes for farmers under the common agricultural policy and establishing certain support schemes for farmers (2). The amount resulting from the decrease is to remain definitively in the national ceilings for direct payments and no longer be available for the measures listed in Articles 103p to 103y of Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007.

               (2)

               Article 103o of Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 foresees that Member States were to decide by 1 December 2012 whether to provide support to vine-growers for 2014 by allocating payment entitlements within the meaning of Chapter 1 of Title III of Regulation (EC) No 73/2009. In this case, Member States are to make provision for such support in their support programmes and this support for 2014 is to remain in the Single Payment Scheme and no longer be available for the measures in Articles 103p to 103y of Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007. Commission Regulation (EC) No 555/2008 (3) should provide details on the communications to be made by the Member States concerned in relation to Article 103n(1a) and Article 103o of Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007.

               (3)

               In the light of the experience gained during the implementation of the support programmes and in order to prepare for the submission of draft support programmes for the financial years 2014 to 2018, the framework and specific requirements for the new programming period should be further completed.

               (4)

               Point (d) of the first paragraph of Article 4 of Regulation (EC) No 555/2008 provides that the wines referred to in Article 103p(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 shall be eligible for promotion on third-country markets provided that the support for promotion and information lasts no longer than three years for a given beneficiary in a given third country, if necessary renewed once for a period no longer than two years. This provision has been applied for the first submission of the support programme and it is appropriate to provide a similar rule for the submission of the new support programme; however, it is important to stimulate the opening of new markets in third countries, including by giving preference to beneficiaries who did not receive support in the past, or to those targeting a new third country for which they have not received support in the past within this scheme.

               (5)

               The third paragraph of Article 4 of Regulation (EC) No 555/2008 provides that, when selecting the beneficiaries, preference is to be given to micro, small and medium-sized enterprises in the meaning of Commission Recommendation 2003/361/EC (4) and to collective brand names. The preference for collective brand names should be eliminated in order to simplify the implementation of this measure, while leaving the possibility to grant support for the promotion of brand names unaffected.

               (6)

               Articles 6 and 8 of Regulation (EC) No 555/2008 establish rules concerning the definition, the procedure, applications and levels of support for restructuring and conversion of vineyards. Without prejudice to the conditions set out in Article 103q of Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007, in the light of the experience gained during the implementation of this measure, it is necessary to specify certain operations that are considered ineligible. Furthermore, the rules on the calculation of flat rate amounts should, on the one hand, be simplified and, on the other, be made more precise. In particular, in order to avoid overcompensation, it is appropriate to specify that flat rate amounts shall be based on an accurate calculation of the actual costs of each type of operation.

               (7)

               Article 10 of Regulation (EC) No 555/2008 establishes transitional rules concerning restructuring operations already planned in application to Article 11 of Council Regulation (EC) No 1493/1999 of 17 May 1999 on the common organisation of the market in wine (5). Those rules are now outdated and that Article should therefore be deleted.

               (8)

               Articles 26 to 34 establish rules for three measures which ended on 31 July 2012, potable alcohol distillation, crisis distillation and use of concentrated grape must. Those Articles should therefore be deleted.

               (9)

               Articles 67 to 73 establish rules for the grubbing-up scheme which ended in 2011. Those Articles should therefore be deleted.

               (10)

               Article 77(5) of Regulation (EC) No 555/2008 foresees that, for investment measures, Articles 26, 27 and 28 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1975/2006 (6) should apply mutatis mutandis. However, in the light of Article 19(1) and Articles 76 to 80 of Regulation (EC) No 555/2008, the reference to some of those rules, which are now set out in Commission Regulation (EU) No 65/2011 (7), should be deleted in order to improve clarity.

               (11)

               Article 81(3) and (5) of Regulation (EC) No 555/2008 foresees rules on controls related to the production potential and to the operations of restructuring and conversion of vineyards, for areas receiving a grubbing-up premium in accordance with Articles 85o to 85x of Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007. The grubbing-up scheme ended in 2011. Therefore, those rules should be deleted. However, Article 81(4) foresees an on-the-spot control or a remote sensing control in case of grubbing-up, if its resolution is equal to or higher than 1 m2 or the grubbing-up covers the entire vineyard parcel. Grubbing-up before replanting can also be an operation carried out in the framework of a restructuring and conversion measure and therefore it is appropriate to foresee the same rule for this measure.

               (12)

               Commission Regulation (EC) No 883/2001 (8) provided the simplified VI-1 document for wine products, including grape juice originating in a list of countries, including the United States of America, and imported into the Union. Since the entry into force of the Agreement between the European Community and the United States of America on trade in wine (9), wine from the United States of America can be imported into the Union accompanied by a certification document as provided for in Article 9 of the Agreement. In consequence, in Regulation (EC) No 555/2008, which replaced Regulation (EC) No 883/2001, the United States of America were not included in the list of countries allowed to use the simplified VI-1 document. However, as grape juice is not covered by that Agreement, the United States of America should be added to that list for the benefit of wine products not covered by the scope of the Agreement.

               (13)

               The Management Committee for the Common Organisation of Agricultural Markets has not delivered an opinion within the time limit set by its Chair,

The rules shall be designed to ensure that the objective of the scheme is met.
               The rules may provide in particular either for the payment of flat-rate amounts, or for maximum levels of support per hectare. In addition, the rules may provide for the adjustment of the support on the basis of objective criteria.

         COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) 2015/407
   of 11 March 2015
   approving propan-2-ol as an active substance for use in biocidal products for product-types 1, 2 and 4
   (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 active substances to be evaluated with a view to their possible approval for use in biocidal products or inclusion into Annex I to Regulation (EU) No 528/2012. That list includes propan-2-ol.

               (2)

               Propan-2-ol has been evaluated in accordance with Article 90(2) of Regulation (EU) No 528/2012 for use in biocidal products for product-type 1, human hygiene disinfectants, product-type 2, disinfectants and algaecides not intended for direct application to humans or animals, and product-type 4, food and feed area disinfectants, as defined in Annex V to Regulation (EU) No 528/2012.

               (3)

               Germany was designated as evaluating competent authority and submitted the assessment reports, together with its recommendations, to the Commission on 5 November 2012 in accordance with paragraphs 4 and 6 of Article 14 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1451/2007 (3).

               (4)

               The opinions of the European Chemicals Agency were formulated on 18 June 2014 by the Biocidal Product Committee, having regard to the conclusions of the evaluating competent authority.

               (5)

               According to those opinions, biocidal products used for product-types 1, 2 and 4 and containing propan-2-ol may be expected to satisfy the requirements laid down in Article 5 of Directive 98/8/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council (4) provided that certain specifications and conditions relating to its use are satisfied.

               (6)

               It is therefore appropriate to approve propan-2-ol for use in biocidal products for product-types 1, 2 and 4 subject to compliance with certain specifications and conditions.

               (7)

               Since the evaluations did not address nanomaterials, the approvals should not cover such materials in accordance with Article 4(4) of Regulation (EU) No 528/2012.

               (8)

               For the use in product-type 4, the evaluation did not address the incorporation of biocidal products containing propan-2-ol in materials and articles intended to come into contact directly or indirectly with food within the meaning of Article 1(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1935/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council (5). Such materials may require the establishment of specific limits on the migration into food, as referred to in Article 5(1)(e) of Regulation (EC) No 1935/2004. The approval should therefore not cover such use unless the Commission has established such limits or it has been established pursuant to that Regulation that such limits are not necessary.

               (9)

               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.

               (10)

               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
   Propan-2-ol shall be approved as an active substance for use in biocidal products for product-types 1, 2 and 4, 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.

   concerning the classification of certain goods in the Combined Nomenclature
   THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
   Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
   Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87 of 23 July 1987 on the tariff and statistical nomenclature and on the Common Customs Tariff (1), and in particular Article 9(1)(a) thereof,
   Whereas:

               (1)

               In order to ensure uniform application of the Combined Nomenclature annexed to Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87, it is necessary to adopt measures concerning the classification of the goods referred to in the Annex to this Regulation.

               (2)

               Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87 has laid down the general rules for the interpretation of the Combined Nomenclature. Those rules apply also to any other nomenclature which is wholly or partly based on it or which adds any additional subdivision to it and which is established by specific provisions of the Union, with a view to the application of tariff and other measures relating to trade in goods.

               (3)

               Pursuant to those general rules, the goods described in column (1) of the table set out in the Annex should be classified under the CN code indicated in column (2), by virtue of the reasons set out in column (3) of that table.

               (4)

               It is appropriate to provide that binding tariff information issued in respect of the goods concerned by this Regulation which does not conform to this Regulation may, for a certain period, continue to be invoked by the holder in accordance with Article 12(6) of Council Regulation (EEC) No 2913/92 (2). That period should be set at 3 months.

               (5)

               The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Customs Code Committee,

         HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
   Article 1
   The goods described in column (1) of the table set out in the Annex shall be classified within the Combined Nomenclature under the CN code indicated in column (2) of that table.
   Article 2
   Binding tariff information which does not conform to this Regulation may continue to be invoked in accordance with Article 12(6) of Regulation (EEC) No 2913/92 for a period of 3 months from the date of entry into force of this Regulation.
   Article 3
   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.

                  (3)

                  A cylindrical-shaped, battery-operated article made of plastics with a lid (so-called ‘electronic money box’), of a height of 17 cm and a diameter of 12 cm.
                  The lid includes a small LCD display and a slot to put coins (for example, euros) in. When a coin is manually inserted into the slot, a mechanism in the lid (the calculating device) recognises the diameter of the coin, and its value is displayed.
                  When more coins are inserted one by one, the recognised values are added to the existing amount and the total sum is shown on the LCD display.
                  No subtraction takes place when coins are removed from the money box.

                  8470 90 00

                  Classification is determined by general rules 1, 3(b) and 6 for the interpretation of the Combined Nomenclature and by the wording of CN codes 8470, 8470 90 and 8470 90 00.
                  The article is composite goods consisting of a plastic container and a calculating device. Compared to ordinary money boxes, the calculating device gives this article its essential character. Classification according to its constituent material (Chapter 39) is therefore excluded.
                  As the article does not comprise any manual arrangements for data input (coins are not data) it is not considered a calculating machine (see also the Harmonised System Explanatory Notes (HSEN) to heading 8470 (A)(1)). As the calculating device makes it possible to add at least two figures, each comprising several digits (e.g. EUR 0,02 + EUR 2,00 = EUR 2,02), it fulfils the requirements for classification as a calculating device (see also the HSEN to heading 8470, first paragraph).
                  The whole article is therefore to be classified under CN code 8470 90 00 as other machines with a calculating device.

      COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) No 649/2013
   of 8 July 2013
   derogating from Regulations (EC) No 1122/2009 and (EU) No 65/2011 as regards the reduction of the amounts of the aid for late submission of single applications in relation to alpine pastures in mountain areas of Austria for 2013
   THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
   Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
   Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1698/2005 of 20 September 2005 on support for rural development by the European Agricultural Fund for Rural Development (EAFRD) (1), and in particular Article 91 thereof,
   Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 73/2009 of 19 January 2009 establishing common rules for direct support schemes for farmers under the common agricultural policy and establishing certain support schemes for farmers, amending Regulations (EC) No 1290/2005, (EC) No 247/2006, (EC) No 378/2007 and repealing Regulation (EC) No 1782/2003 (2), and in particular Article 142(c) thereof,
   Whereas:

               (1)

               Commission Regulation (EC) No 1122/2009 of 30 November 2009 laying down detailed rules for the implementation of Council Regulation (EC) No 73/2009 as regards cross-compliance, modulation and the integrated administration and control system, under the direct support schemes for farmers provided for that Regulation, as well as for the implementation of Council Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 as regards cross-compliance under the support scheme provided for the wine sector (3) provides, in its Article 23(1), for reductions to be applied in the case of late submission of an aid application as well as of documents, contracts or declarations which are constitutive for the eligibility for the aid.

               (2)

               According to Article 8(3) of Commission Regulation (EU) No 65/2011 of 27 January 2011 laying down detailed rules for the implementation of Council Regulation (EC) No 1698/2005, as regards the implementation of control procedures as well as cross-compliance in respect of rural development support measures (4), Articles 22 and 23 of Regulation (EC) No 1122/2009 apply mutatis mutandis to payment claims under Title I of Part II of Regulation (EU) No 65/2011.

               (3)

               Austria has implemented a system of single aid application which covers, pursuant to Article 19(3) of Regulation (EC) No 73/2009, several direct payment applications and certain applications for aid granted under Regulation (EC) No 1698/2005.

               (4)

               In accordance with Article 11(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1122/2009 and Article 8(1) of Regulation (EU) No 65/2011, Austria has fixed 15 May 2013 as the latest day until which single applications for 2013 can be submitted.

               (5)

               In order to enable the implementation of the control system the third subparagraph of Article 6(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1122/2009 requires Member States to ensure that agricultural parcels are reliably identified and to require the single application to be accompanied by documents identifying the parcels.

               (6)

               In response to deficiencies related to the determination of the eligible area of agricultural parcels, which were detected in the past, Austria has started updating its Land Parcel Identification System (LPIS) for alpine pastures as defined by Austria within the mountain areas designated pursuant to Article 50 of Regulation (EC) No 1698/2005.

               (7)

               Austria has experienced exceptional circumstances in weather conditions of the winter season 2012/2013 preventing the authorities from ending up the process of updating the LPIS for agricultural parcels of alpine pastures in those mountain areas before the launch of the single application process. The necessary rapid field visits of those parcels in high altitude have been delayed by heavy and late-season snowfalls. Consequently, farmers intending to submit a single application relating to agricultural parcels of alpine pastures will be provided with the updated information about the parcels later than foreseen.

               (8)

               This situation has affected the ability of applicants to submit single aid applications and payment claims relating to agricultural parcels of alpine pastures in Austria within the time limits provided for in Article 11(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1122/2009 and Article 8(1) of Regulation (EU) No 65/2011.

               (9)

               Due to those difficulties, the application process in 2013 is expected to start later than the date on which the process started in the previous years for farmers with agricultural parcels of alpine pastures. The information submitted by the Austrian authorities to the Commission on their capacity to finalise the update of the LPIS for those areas shows that a derogation until 28 June 2013 is necessary to enable all farmers and beneficiaries concerned to submit their single applications.

               (10)

               By way of derogation from Article 23(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1122/2009 it is therefore appropriate not to apply reductions on grounds of late submission of single applications in respect of those farmers who submitted their single applications relating to at least one agricultural parcel of alpine pasture as defined by Austria within the mountain areas designated pursuant to Article 50 of Regulation (EC) No 1698/2005 by 28 June 2013 at the latest.

               (11)

               Similarly, by way of derogation from Article 8(3) of Regulation (EU) No 65/2011 and in respect of payment claims under Title I of Part II of Regulation (EU) No 65/2011 relating to at least one agricultural parcel of alpine pastures as defined by Austria within the mountain areas designated pursuant to Article 50 of Regulation (EC) No 1698/2005, it is appropriate not to apply reductions on grounds of late submission of payment claims which were submitted by 28 June 2013 at the latest.

               (12)

               Since the derogations should cover the single applications and payment claims submitted for aid year 2013, it is appropriate that this Regulation applies retroactively.

               (13)

               The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinions of the Rural Development Committee and the Management Committee for Direct Payments,

         HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
   Article 1
   By way of derogation from Article 23(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1122/2009, in respect of the application year 2013, no reductions on grounds of late submission shall apply to those farmers who submitted a single application relating to at least one agricultural parcel located in alpine pastures as defined by Austria within the mountain areas designated pursuant to Article 50 of Regulation (EC) No 1698/2005 by 28 June 2013 at the latest. Such single applications submitted after the 28 June 2013 shall be considered inadmissible.
   Article 2
   By way of derogation from Article 8(3) of Regulation (EU) No 65/2011, in respect of the application year 2013, no reductions provided for in Article 23(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1122/2009 shall apply in respect of payment claims under Title I of Part II of Regulation (EU) No 65/2011 relating to at least one agricultural parcel located in alpine pastures as defined by Austria within the mountain areas designated pursuant to Article 50 of Regulation (EC) No 1698/2005 on grounds of late submission of payment claims if those payment claims were submitted by 28 June 2013 at the latest. Such payment claims submitted after the 28 June 2013 shall be considered inadmissible.
   Article 3
   This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
   It shall apply as from 1 January 2013.

      This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

         COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) No 569/2012
   of 28 June 2012
   temporarily suspending customs duties on imports of certain cereals for the 2012/2013 marketing year
   THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
   Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
   Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 of 22 October 2007 establishing a common organisation of agricultural markets and on specific provisions for certain agricultural products (‘Single CMO Regulation’) (1), and in particular Article 187 in conjunction with Article 4 thereof,
   Whereas:

               (1)

               In order to promote the supply of cereals on the Community market during the last six months of the 2011/2012 marketing year, Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 1350/2011 (2) suspended customs duties for the import tariff quotas for common wheat of low and medium quality and feed barley opened by Commission Regulations (EC) No 1067/2008 (3) and (EC) No 2305/2003 (4) respectively, until 30 June 2012.

               (2)

               On the basis of communications made in accordance with Article 3(3) of Regulation (EC) No 2305/2003, by means of Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 20/2012 (5), with effect from 13:00 Brussels time on 6 January 2012, the Commission suspended issue of the import licences for barley from the quota referred to in Article 1(1) of Regulation (EC) No 2305/2003 for the current quota period.

               (3)

               The outlook for the cereals market for the start of the next marketing year (2012/2013) would suggest that prices will remain high, given the low stock levels and current estimates from the Commission regarding the quantities which will actually be available under the 2012 harvest. In order to make it easier to maintain a flow of imports conducive to EU market equilibrium, there is a need to ensure continuity in cereal imports policy by keeping the temporary suspension of customs duties on imports of common wheat during the 2012/2013 marketing year until 31 December 2012 for the import tariff quotas opened by Regulation (EC) No 1067/2008. Given that the issue of import licences for barley has been suspended until 31 December 2012, the suspension of customs duties for this product during the same period becomes unnecessary.

               (4)

               Moreover, traders should not be penalised in cases where cereals are en route for importation into the Union. Therefore, the time required for transport should be taken into account and traders allowed to release cereals for free circulation under the customs-duty suspension regime provided for in this Regulation, for all products whose direct transport to the Union has started at the latest on 31 December 2012. The evidence to be provided showing direct transport to the Union and the date on which the transport commenced should also be established.

               (5)

               In order to ensure sound management of the procedure for issuing import licences as from 1 July 2012, this Regulation should enter into force on the day after its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.

               (6)

               The Management Committee for the Common Organisation of Agricultural Markets has not delivered an opinion within the time limit set by its Chair,

               In accordance with Article 80(1)(c) of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009, Council Directive 91/414/EEC (2) is to apply, with respect to the procedure and the conditions for approval, to active substances for which completeness has been established in accordance with Article 16 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 33/2008 of 17 January 2008 laying down detailed rules for the application of Council Directive 91/414/EEC as regards a regular and an accelerated procedure for the assessment of active substances which were part of the programme of work referred to in Article 8(2) of that Directive but have not been included into its Annex I (3). Chloropicrin is an active substance for which completeness has been established in accordance with that Regulation.

               (2)

               Commission Regulations (EC) No 451/2000 (4) and (EC) No 1490/2002 (5) lay down the detailed rules for the implementation of the second and third stages of the programme of work referred to in Article 8(2) of Directive 91/414/EEC and establish lists of active substances to be assessed, with a view to their possible inclusion in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC. These lists included chloropicrin.

               (3)

               In accordance with Article 3(2) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1095/2007 of 20 September 2007 amending Regulation (EC) No 1490/2002 laying down further detailed rules for the implementation of the third stage of the programme of work referred to in Article 8(2) of Council Directive 91/414/EEC and Regulation (EC) No 2229/2004 laying down further detailed rules for the implementation of the fourth stage of the programme of work referred to in Article 8(2) of Council Directive 91/414/EEC (6) the notifier withdrew its support of the inclusion of that active substance in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC within 2 months from entry into force of Regulation (EC) No 1095/2007. Consequently, Commission Decision 2008/934/EC of 5 December 2008 concerning the non-inclusion of certain active substances in Annex I to Council Directive 91/414/EEC and the withdrawal of authorisations for plant protection products containing these substances (7) was adopted on the non-inclusion of chloropicrin.

               (4)

               Pursuant to Article 6(2) of Directive 91/414/EEC the original notifier (hereinafter ‘the applicant’) submitted a new application requesting the accelerated procedure to be applied, as provided for in Articles 14 to 19 of Regulation (EC) No 33/2008.

               (5)

               The application was submitted to Italy, which had been designated rapporteur Member State by Regulation (EC) No 1490/2002. The time period for the accelerated procedure was respected. The specification of the active substance and the supported uses are the same as were the subject of Decision 2008/934/EC. That application also complies with the remaining substantive and procedural requirements of Article 15 of Regulation (EC) No 33/2008.

               (6)

               Italy evaluated the additional data submitted by the applicant and prepared an additional report. It communicated that report to the European Food Safety Authority (hereinafter ‘the Authority’) and to the Commission on 11 March 2010. The Authority communicated the additional report to the other Member States and the applicant for comments and forwarded the comments it had received to the Commission. In accordance with Article 20(1) of Regulation (EC) No 33/2008 and at the request of the Commission, the Authority presented its conclusion on the risk assessment of chloropicrin to the Commission on 23 February 2011 (8). The draft assessment report, the additional report and the conclusion of the Authority were reviewed by the Member States and the Commission within the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health and finalised on 11 October 2011 in the format of the Commission review report for chloropicrin.

               (7)

               During the evaluation of this active substance, concerns were identified. Those concerns were, in particular, the following. There is an unacceptable risk to operators. It was not possible to perform a reliable groundwater exposure assessment as data were missing concerning the metabolite dichloronitromethane and impurities of the active substance as manufactured. Insufficient data were available to conclude on the risks to sediment dwellers, bees, earthworms and non-target plants. A high risk to aquatic organisms, birds and mammals was identified. It was not possible to perform a reliable surface water and sediment exposure assessment as data were missing for chloropicrin and the metabolite dichloronitromethane. No reliable assessment of exposure concentrations in air of phosgene could be performed. A high potential for long-range atmospheric transport was identified.

               (8)

               The Commission invited the applicant to submit its comments on the conclusion of the Authority. Furthermore, in accordance with Article 21(1) to Regulation (EC) No 33/2008, the Commission invited the applicant to submit comments on the draft review report. The applicant submitted its comments, which have been carefully examined.

               (9)

               However, despite the arguments put forward by the applicant, the concerns referred to in recital 7 could not be eliminated. Consequently, it has not been demonstrated that it may be expected that, under the proposed conditions of use, plant protection products containing chloropicrin satisfy in general the requirements laid down in Article 5(1)(a) and (b) of Directive 91/414/EEC.

               (10)

               Chloropicrin should therefore not be approved pursuant to Article 13(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009.

               (11)

               To provide Member States with time to withdraw authorisations for plant protection products containing chloripicrin, Regulation (EC) No 1490/2002 should be derogated from.

               (12)

               For plant protection products containing chloropicrin, where Member States grant any period of grace in accordance with Article 46 of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009, this period should expire at the latest 1 year after the withdrawal of the respective authorisation.

               (13)

               This Regulation does not prejudice the submission of a further application for chloropicrin pursuant to Article 7 of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009.

               (14)

               In the interest of clarity, the entry for chloropicrin in the Annex to Decision 2008/934/EC should be deleted.

               (15)

               It is therefore appropriate to amend Decision 2008/934/EC accordingly.

               (16)

               The Standing Committee on the Food chain and Animal Health did not deliver an opinion. An implementing act was deemed to be necessary and the chair submitted the draft implementing act to the appeal committee for further deliberation. The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the appeal committee,
