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 13(2) in conjunction with Article 22(1) thereof,
Whereas:
- (1) In accordance with Article 7(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 Suterra Europe Biocontrol S.L. submitted to Italy on 17 July 2015 an application for the approval of the active substance Lavandulyl senecioate.
- (2) In accordance with Article 9(3) of that Regulation, Italy, as rapporteur Member State, notified the applicant, the other Member States, the Commission and the European Food Safety Authority (‘the Authority’) of the admissibility of the application on 29 December 2016.
- (3) On 22 August 2017 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.
- (4) 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 9 October 2018.
- (5) On 4 January 2019 the Authority communicated to the applicant, the Member States and the Commission its conclusion 2 on whether the active substance Lavandulyl senecioate 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.
- (6) On 22 October 2019 the Commission presented to the Standing Committee on Plants, Animals, Food and Feed the review report for Lavandulyl senecioate and on 23 March 2020 a draft Regulation providing that Lavandulyl senecioate is approved.
- (7) The applicant was given the possibility to submit comments on the review report.
- (8) 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.
- (9) The Commission further considers that Lavandulyl senecioate is a low-risk active substance pursuant to Article 22 of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009. Lavandulyl senecioate is not a substance of concern and fulfils the conditions set in point 5.1.3 of Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009.
- (10) It is therefore appropriate to approve Lavandulyl senecioate as a low-risk substance.
- (11) 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 provide certain conditions.
- (12) In accordance with Article 13(4) of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009, Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 540/2011 3 should be amended accordingly.
- (13) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Plants, Animals, Food and Feed,
