Competent authority examining the application
Article 35
1
For the purposes of this Subsection “the competent authority examining the application” is the competent authority which receives the application under Article 33.
2
But a competent authority may examine an application on behalf of one or more of the other competent authorities (and consequently for the purposes of this Subsection is “the competent authority examining the application”) where—
a
each competent authority receives the same application;
b
each competent authority agrees which competent authority is to examine the application;
c
each active substance, safener or synergist in the plant protection product to which the application relates—
i)
is approved in relation to the constituent territory of each competent authority, and the conditions of each approval are compatible with the proposed authorisation, and
ii)
has an equivalent technical specification in relation to each constituent territory, where necessary as determined in accordance with Article 38;
d
any co-formulant in the plant protection product to which the application relates is not included on the unacceptable co-formulants register in relation to the constituent territory of each competent authority; and
e
any data requirements specified in regulations made under Article 8(4)(a) and (b), any uniform principles for evaluation and authorisation of plant protection products prescribed in regulations made under Article 29(6)(a) and any guidance relating to those requirements or principles are the same in relation to the constituent territory of each competent authority.
3
Where paragraph 2 applies in relation to an application—
a
the competent authority examining the application must inform the applicant that it is to examine the application;
b
the other competent authorities must —
i)
not proceed to determine the application pending assessment by the competent authority examining the application;
ii)
at the request of the competent authority examining the application, cooperate to ensure a fair division of the workload.

Examination for authorisation
Article 36
1
The competent authority examining the application shall make an independent, objective and transparent assessment in the light of current scientific and technical knowledge using guidance documents available at the time of application. Where Article 35(2) applies in relation to an application, the competent authority examining the application must give the other competent authorities the opportunity to submit comments to be considered in the assessment.
It shall apply the uniform principles for evaluation and authorisation of plant protection products, referred to in Article 29(6)(a), to establish, as far as possible, whether the plant protection product meets the requirements provided for in Article 29 ... , where used in accordance with Article 55, and under realistic conditions of use.
Where Article 35(2) applies in relation to an application, the competent authority examining the application must make available its assessment to the other competent authorities.
2
Where Article 35(2) applies in relation to an application, the competent authorities which received that application shall grant or refuse authorisations accordingly on the basis of the conclusions of the assessment of the competent authority examining the application as provided for in Articles 31 and 32.
3
By way of derogation from paragraph 2 and subject to assimilated law, appropriate conditions may be imposed with respect to the requirements referred to in Article 31(3) and (4) and other risk mitigation measures deriving from specific conditions of use.
Where the concerns of a competent authority relating to human or animal health or the environment cannot be controlled by the establishment of the ... risk mitigation measures referred to in the first subparagraph, that competent authority may refuse authorisation of the plant protection product in its constituent territory if, due to its specific environmental or agricultural circumstances, it has substantiated reasons to consider that the product in question still poses an unacceptable risk to human or animal health or the environment.
That competent authority shall immediately inform the applicant and the other competent authorities of its decision and provide a technical or scientific justification therefor.
...

Period for examination
Article 37
1
The competent authority examining the application shall decide within 12 months of receiving it whether the requirements for authorisation are met.
Where the competent authority needs additional information, it shall set a period for the applicant to supply it. In that case, the 12-month period shall be extended by the additional period granted by the competent authority. That additional period shall be a maximum of 6 months and shall cease at the moment when the additional information is received by the competent authority. Where at the end of that period the applicant has not submitted the missing elements, the competent authority shall inform the applicant that the application is inadmissible.
2
The time limits provided for in paragraph 1 shall be suspended during the application of the procedure set out in Article 38.
3
For an application for authorisation of a plant protection product containing an active substance not yet approved, the competent authority examining the application shall start the evaluation as soon as the draft assessment report for that active substance is circulated in accordance with Article 12(1)(a). In case the application concerns the same plant protection product and the same uses as contained in the dossier referred to in Article 8, the competent authority shall decide on the application at the latest within six months of the active substance being approved.
3A
Where Article 35(2) applies in relation to an application, the requirement in paragraph 3 to decide on the application within 6 months of the active substance being approved is to be read as a requirement to decide on the application within 6 months of the earliest date on which the active substance is approved by one of the competent authorities which received the application for authorisation.
4
Where Article 35(2) applies in relation to an application, the competent authorities which received the application for authorisation shall at the latest within 120 days of the receipt of the assessment report and the copy of the authorisation of the competent authority examining the application decide on the application as referred to in Article 36(2) and (3).

Assessment of equivalence under Article 29(1)(b)
Article 38
1
This Article applies where it is necessary in relation to an application to establish for an active substance, safener or synergist whether a different source or, for the same source a change of the manufacturing process or location complies with Article 29(1)(b).

Comparative assessment of plant protection products containing candidates for substitution
Article 50
1
A comparative assessment shall be performed by a competent authority when evaluating an application for authorisation for a plant protection product containing an active substance approved as a candidate for substitution in relation to its constituent territory. A competent authority shall not authorise or shall restrict the use of a plant protection product containing a candidate for substitution for use on a particular crop where the comparative assessment weighing up the risks and benefits, as set out in Annex IV, demonstrates that:
a
for the uses specified in the application an authorised plant protection product, or a non-chemical control or prevention method, already exists which is significantly safer for human or animal health or the environment;
b
the substitution by plant protection products or non-chemical control or prevention methods referred to in point (a) does not present significant economic or practical disadvantages;
c
the chemical diversity of the active substances, where relevant, or methods and practices of crop management and pest prevention are adequate to minimise the occurrence of resistance in the target organism; and
d
the consequences on minor use authorisations are taken into account.
2
By way of derogation from Article 36(2) a competent authority may in exceptional cases also apply the provisions of paragraph 1 of this Article when evaluating an application for authorisation of a plant protection product not containing a candidate for substitution or a low-risk active substance, if a non-chemical control or prevention method exists for the same use and it is in general use in Great Britain.
3
By way of derogation from paragraph 1, a plant protection product containing a candidate for substitution shall be authorised without comparative assessment in cases where it is necessary to acquire experience first through using that product in practice.
Such authorisations shall be granted once for a period not exceeding five years.
4
For plant protection products containing a candidate for substitution a competent authority shall perform the comparative assessment provided for in paragraph 1 regularly and at the latest at renewal or amendment of the authorisation.
Based on the results of that comparative assessment, the competent authority shall maintain, withdraw or amend the authorisation.
5
Where a competent authority decides to withdraw or amend an authorisation pursuant to paragraph 4, that withdrawal or amendment shall take effect 3 years after the decision of the competent authority or at the end of the approval period of the candidate for substitution in relation to its constituent territory where that period ends earlier.
6
Unless otherwise specified, all provisions relating to authorisations under this Regulation shall apply.

3
A competent authority may take measures to facilitate or encourage the submission of applications to extend the authorisation of already authorised plant protection products to minor uses.
4
The extension may take the form of an amendment to the existing authorisation or may be a separate authorisation ...
5
When the competent authority grants an extension of authorisation for a minor use, the competent authority shall inform if necessary the authorisation holder and request him to change the labelling accordingly.
Where the authorisation holder declines, the competent authority shall ensure that users are fully and specifically informed as to instructions for use, by means of an official publication or an official website.
The official publication or where applicable the label shall include a reference to the liability of the person using the plant protection product with respect to failures concerning the efficacy or to phytotoxicity of the product for which the minor use was granted. The minor use extension shall be separately identified in the label.
6
Extensions on the basis of this Article shall be separately identified and separate reference shall be made to liability restrictions.
7
The applicants referred to in paragraph 1 may also apply for authorisation of a plant protection product for minor uses in accordance with Article 42A, except where one or more of the conditions in Article 42A(4) are met. The competent authority which receives such an application shall authorise such uses in accordance with the provisions of Article 42B provided that those uses are also considered minor by that competent authority.
8
Each competent authority shall establish and regularly update a list of minor uses.
9
By 14 December 2011, the Commission shall present a report to the European Parliament and the Council on the establishment of a European fund for minor uses, accompanied, if appropriate, by a legislative proposal.
