         COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) 2016/139
   of 2 February 2016
   renewing the approval of the active substance metsulfuron-methyl, as a candidate for substitution, in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council concerning the placing of plant protection products on the market, and amending the Annex to Implementing Regulation (EU) No 540/2011
   (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 24 in conjunction with Article 20(1) thereof,
   Whereas:

               (1)

               The approval of the active substance metsulfuron-methyl, as set out in Part A of the Annex to Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 540/2011 (2), expires on 30 June 2016.

               (2)

               An application for the renewal of the inclusion of metsulfuron-methyl in Annex I to Council Directive 91/414/EEC (3) was submitted in accordance with Article 4 of Commission Regulation (EU) No 1141/2010 (4) within the time period provided for in that Article.

               (3)

               The applicant submitted the supplementary dossiers required in accordance with Article 9 of Regulation (EU) No 1141/2010. The application was found to be complete by the rapporteur Member State.

               (4)

               The rapporteur Member State prepared a renewal assessment report in consultation with the co-rapporteur Member State and submitted it to the European Food Safety Authority (hereinafter ‘the Authority’) and the Commission on 8 August 2013.

               (5)

               The Authority communicated the renewal assessment report to the applicant and to the Member States for comments and forwarded the comments received to the Commission. The Authority also made the supplementary summary dossier available to the public.

               (6)

               On 5 December 2014 the Authority communicated to the Commission its conclusion (5) on whether metsulfuron-methyl can be expected to meet the approval criteria provided for in Article 4 of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009. The Commission presented the draft review report for metsulfuron-methyl to the Standing Committee on Plants, Animals, Food and Feed on 29 May 2015.

               (7)

               It has been established with respect to one or more representative uses of at least one plant protection product containing the active substance that the approval criteria provided for in Article 4 of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 are satisfied. Those approval criteria are therefore deemed to be satisfied.

               (8)

               The risk assessment for the renewal of the approval of metsulfuron-methyl is based on a limited number of representative uses, which however do not restrict the uses for which plant protection products containing metsulfuron-methyl may be authorised. It is therefore appropriate not to maintain the restriction to use as a herbicide.

               (9)

               The Commission, however, considers that metsulfuron-methyl is a candidate for substitution pursuant to Article 24 of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009. Metsulfuron-methyl is considered a persistent and toxic substance in accordance with points 3.7.2.1 and 3.7.2.3 respectively, of Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009, given that the half-life in fresh water is higher than 40 days and the long-term no-observed effect concentration for freshwater organisms is less than 0,01 mg/L. Metsulfuron-methyl therefore fulfils the condition set in the second indent of point 4 of Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009.

               (10)

               In accordance with Article 20(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 in conjunction with Article 6 thereof and in the light of current scientific and technical knowledge, it is necessary to include certain conditions. It is, in particular, appropriate to require further confirmatory information.

               (11)

               It is therefore appropriate to renew the approval of metsulfuron-methyl as a candidate for substitution.

               (12)

               In accordance with Article 20(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009, in conjunction with Article 13(4) thereof, the Annex to Implementing Regulation (EU) No 540/2011 should be amended accordingly.

               (13)

               Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2015/1885 (6) extended the expiry date of metsulfuron-methyl to 30 June 2016 in order to allow the renewal process to be completed before the expiry of the approval of that substance. Given that a decision on renewal has been taken ahead of this extended expiry date, this Regulation shall apply from 1 April 2016.

               (14)

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

         HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
   Article 1

   of 30 June 2015
   concerning the authorisation of the preparation of endo-1,4-beta-xylanase (EC 3.2.1.8) produced by Trichoderma citrinoviride Bisset (IM SD135) as a feed additive for chickens for fattening, turkeys for fattening, laying hens, weaned piglets, pigs for fattening and minor poultry species for fattening and for laying, and amending Regulations (EC) No 2148/2004, (EC) No 828/2007 and (EC) No 322/2009 (holder of authorisation Huvepharma NV)
   (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 1831/2003 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 22 September 2003 on additives for use in animal nutrition (1), and in particular Article 9(2) thereof,
   Whereas:

               (1)

               Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 provides for the authorisation of additives for use in animal nutrition and for the grounds and procedures for granting such authorisation. Article 10 of that Regulation provides for the re-evaluation of additives authorised pursuant to Council Directive 70/524/EEC (2).

               (2)

               The preparation of endo-1,4-beta-xylanase (EC 3.2.1.8) produced by Trichoderma citrinoviride Bisset (IM SD135) (formerly Trichoderma longibrachiatum) was authorised in accordance with Directive 70/524/EEC without a time limit as a feed additive for chickens for fattening by Commission Regulation (EC) No 2148/2004 (3), for turkeys for fattening by Commission Regulation (EC) No 828/2007 (4) and for laying hens and weaned piglets by Commission Regulation (EC) No 322/2009 (5). That preparation was subsequently entered in the Register of feed additives as an existing product, in accordance with Article 10(1)(b) of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003.

               (3)

               In accordance with Article 10(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 in conjunction with Article 7 of that Regulation, an application was submitted for the re-evaluation of the preparation of endo-1,4-beta-xylanase (EC 3.2.1.8) produced by Trichoderma citrinoviride Bisset (IM SD135) (formerly Trichoderma longibrachiatum) as a feed additive for chickens for fattening, turkeys for fattening, laying hens, weaned piglets, pigs for fattening and minor poultry species for fattening and for laying. The applicant requested that additive to be classified in the additive category ‘zootechnical additives’. That application was accompanied by the particulars and documents required under Article 7(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003.

               (4)

               The European Food Safety Authority (‘the Authority’) concluded in its opinions of 31 January 2013 (6) and 10 December 2014 (7) that, under the proposed conditions of use, the preparation of endo-1,4-beta-xylanase (EC 3.2.1.8) produced by Trichoderma citrinoviride Bisset (IM SD135) (formerly Trichoderma longibrachiatum) does not have an adverse effect on animal health, human health or the environment.

               (5)

               The Authority also concluded that the use of that preparation has the potential to be efficacious in turkeys for fattening, chickens for fattening, laying hens, weaned piglets and pigs for fattening. The Authority further considered that the conclusions on the efficacy can be extrapolated to minor poultry species for fattening and for laying. The Authority does not consider that there is a need for specific requirements of post-market monitoring. It also verified the report on the method of analysis of the feed additive in feed submitted by the Reference Laboratory set up by Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003.

               (6)

               The assessment of the preparation of endo-1,4-beta-xylanase (EC 3.2.1.8) produced by Trichoderma citrinoviride Bisset (IM SD135) (formerly Trichoderma longibrachiatum) shows that the conditions for authorisation, as provided for in Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003, are satisfied. Accordingly, the use of that preparation should be authorised as specified in the Annex to this Regulation.

               (7)

               Regulations (EC) No 2148/2004, (EC) No 828/2007 and (EC) No 322/2009 should therefore be amended accordingly.

               (8)

               Since safety reasons do not require the immediate application of the modifications to the conditions of authorisation, it is appropriate to allow a transitional period for interested parties to prepare themselves to meet the new requirements resulting from the authorisation.

               (9)

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

         HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
