amending Regulation (EU) No 1141/2010 as regards the submission of the supplementary complete dossier to the Authority, the other Member States and the Commission
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 19 thereof,
Whereas:
(1)
Commission Regulation (EU) No 1141/2010 of 7 December 2010 laying down the procedure for the renewal of the inclusion of a second group of active substances in Annex I to Council Directive 91/414/EEC and establishing the list of those substances (2) provides for the supplementary summary dossier, as updated to take into account additional information requested by the rapporteur Member State, to be submitted by the applicant to the European Food Safety Authority (hereinafter ‘the Authority’), the other Member States and, on request, to the Commission when the renewal assessment report is submitted to the Commission.
(2)
The practice shows that the large majority of dossiers for the approval or renewal of the approval is evaluated by the Authority. To allow the Authority to give its conclusion on the entire risk assessment or on specific points, it is, however, necessary that the supplementary complete dossier is submitted to the Authority in addition to the supplementary summary dossier. The supplementary complete dossier should also be submitted to the Member States. The Commission should have the possibility to request the submission of the supplementary complete dossier.
(3)
Regulation (EU) No 1141/2010 should therefore be amended accordingly.
(4)
The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
