Commission Directive 2009/25/EC
of 2 April 2009
amending Council Directive 91/414/EEC as regards an extension of the use of the active substance pyraclostrobin
(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) By Commission Directive 2004/30/EC(2) pyraclostrobin was included as active substance in Annex I to Directive 91/414/CEE.
(2) When applying for the inclusion of pyraclostrobin its manufacturer BASF SE (hereinafter the notifier) submitted data on uses to control certain fungi which supported the overall conclusion that it may be expected that plant protection products containing pyraclostrobin will fulfil the safety requirements laid down in Article 5(1)(a) and (b) of Directive 91/414/EEC. Therefore, pyraclostrobin was included in Annex I to that Directive with the specific provision that Member States may only authorise uses as fungicide.
(3) In addition to the control of fungi in certain agricultural uses, the notifier now has applied for an amendment to those specific provisions to allow pyraclostrobin to be used as a plant growth regulator. In order to support such an extension of the use, the notifier submitted additional information.
(4) Germany evaluated the information and data submitted by the notifier. Germany informed the Commission in October 2008 about its conclusion that the requested extension of use does not cause any risks in addition to those already taken into account in the specific provisions for pyraclostrobin in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC and in the Commission review report for that substance. In particular, the extension does not involve a modification of the application parameters, as set out in the specific provisions of Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC.
(5) Therefore it is justified to modify the specific provisions for pyraclostrobin.
(6) It is therefore appropriate to amend Directive 91/414/EEC accordingly.
(7) The measures provided for in this Directive are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
