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 23(5) in conjunction with Article 13(2) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) In accordance with Article 23(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009, the Commission received on 29 September 2014 an application from the Institut Technique de l'Agriculture Biologique (ITAB) for the approval of diammonium phosphate as a basic substance. That application was accompanied by the information required by the second subparagraph of Article 23(3).
(2) The Commission asked the European Food Safety Authority (hereinafter ‘the Authority’) for scientific assistance. The Authority presented to the Commission a Technical Report on the substance concerned on 6 October 2015(2). The Commission presented the review report(3) and a draft of this Regulation to the Standing Committee on Plants, Animals, Food and Feed on 11 December 2015 and finalised them for the meeting of that Committee on 8 March 2016.
(3) Diammonium phosphate is authorised to be used in oenology by Commission Regulation (EC) No 606/2009(4).
(4) The documentation provided by the applicant shows that diammonium phosphate is not predominantly used for plant protection purposes but nevertheless is useful in plant protection in a product consisting of the substance and water.
(5) It has appeared from the examinations made that diammonium phosphate may be expected to satisfy, in general, the requirements laid down in Article 23 of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009, in particular with regard to the uses which were examined and detailed in the Commission review report. It is therefore appropriate to approve diammonium phosphate as a basic substance.
(6) In accordance with Article 13(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 in conjunction with Article 6 thereof and in the light of current scientific and technical knowledge, it is, however, necessary to include certain conditions for the approval which are detailed in Annex I to this Regulation.
(7) In accordance with Article 13(4) of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009, the Annex to Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 540/2011(5) should be amended accordingly.
(8) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Plants, Animals, Food and Feed,
