(1) In accordance with Article 7(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 France received on 6 November 2012 an application from Arysta Lifescience S.A.S. for the approval of the active substance Beauveria bassiana strain NPP111B005. In accordance with Article 9(3) of that Regulation, France, as rapporteur Member State, notified the applicant, the other Member States, the Commission and the European Food Safety Authority (hereinafter ‘the Authority’) on 5 February 2013 of the admissibility of the application.

(2) On 7 October 2014 the rapporteur Member State submitted a draft assessment report to the Commission with a copy to the Authority, assessing whether that active substance can be expected to meet the approval criteria provided for in Article 4 of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009.

(3) The Authority complied with Article 12(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009. In accordance with Article 12(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009, it requested that the applicant supply additional information to the Member States, the Commission and the Authority. The assessment of the additional information by the rapporteur Member State was submitted to the Authority in the format of an updated draft assessment report on 3 July 2015.

(4) On 6 October 2015 the Authority communicated to the applicant, the Member States and the Commission its conclusion ² on whether the active substance Beauveria bassiana strain NPP111B005 can be expected to meet the approval criteria provided for in Article 4 of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009. The Authority made its conclusion available to the public.

(5) On 8 March 2016 the Commission presented to the Standing Committee on Plants, Animals, Food and Feed the review report for Beauveria bassiana strain NPP111B005 and a draft Regulation providing that Beauveria bassiana strain NPP111B005 is approved.

(6) The applicant was given the possibility to submit comments on the review report.

(7) It has been established with respect to one or more representative uses of at least one plant protection product containing the active substance, and in particular the uses which were examined and detailed in the review report, that the approval criteria provided for in Article 4 of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 are satisfied. It is therefore appropriate to approve Beauveria bassiana strain NPP111B005.

(8) 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 and restrictions.

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