• (15) Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 193/2014 [^ntr23-L_202601826EN.000101-E0023] approved the active substance amisulbrom until 30 June 2024 and included it in Part B of the Annex to Implementing Regulation (EU) No 540/2011. The approval of amisulbrom was extended with Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/1892 until 15 September 2026.

• (16) Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2016/1414 [^ntr24-L_202601826EN.000101-E0024] approved the active substance cyantraniliprole until 14 September 2026 and included it in Part B of the Annex to Implementing Regulation (EU) No 540/2011.

• (17) Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2016/1425 [^ntr25-L_202601826EN.000101-E0025] approved the active substance isofetamid until 15 September 2026 and included it in Part B of the Annex to Implementing Regulation (EU) No 540/2011.

• (19) As the approvals of these active substances are likely to expire before decisions have been taken on their renewal as part of the ongoing renewal procedures, the Commission inquired with the rapporteur Member States concerned and the European Food Safety Authority (the ‘Authority’) on the reasons for the delays in the renewal procedures of these active substances. The Commission also inquired when the draft renewal assessment reports by the rapporteur Member States or the conclusions of the Authority could be expected to be finalised.

• (20) The information available, including that provided by the rapporteur Member States and the Authority, shows that the reasons for the delays in each of these renewal procedures are beyond the control of the applicants.

• (21) Therefore, taking into account the temporary and exceptional nature of the mechanism for the extension of approvals, the approval periods of those active substances should be extended for the period assessed as necessary, in each specific case and on the basis of the information available at the moment of adoption of this Regulation, to finalise the respective procedures on the renewal of the approvals. Given that the case-by-case assessment of the time needed to complete each renewal procedure is based on estimates, account should be taken of this degree of uncertainty.

• (22) The applications for the renewal of the approval of the active substances aclonifen, beflubutamid, clomazone, cyprodinil, daminozide, dichlorprop-P, dimethachlor, fludioxonil, formetanate, fosetyl, metalaxyl, metazachlor, penconazole, phenmedipham, pirimicarb and pyraclostrobin were submitted and are being evaluated in accordance with Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 844/2012 [^ntr27-L_202601826EN.000101-E0027].

• (23) The application for the renewal of the approval of the active substance aclonifen was submitted on 12 July 2016 and the rapporteur Member State informed the co-rapporteur Member State, the Commission and the Authority on 19 August 2016 that it had assessed the admissibility of the application pursuant to Article 3 of Implementing Regulation (EU) No 844/2012, and in particular its completeness and timeliness, and concluded that it was admissible. The application has been made public by the Authority. The rapporteur Member State has not finalised the risk assessments pursuant to Article 11 of Implementing Regulation (EU) No 844/2012 and estimates that it will be able to submit the draft renewal assessment report to the Authority by the end of September 2026. As additional time is necessary to complete the remaining steps in the renewal procedure, the duration of the extension of the approval period should be set at 29 months, until 31 March 2029.

• (24) The application for the renewal of the approval of the active substance beflubutamid was submitted on 27 November 2014 and the rapporteur Member State informed the co-rapporteur Member State, the Commission and the Authority on 12 December 2019 that it had assessed the admissibility of the application pursuant to Article 3 of Implementing Regulation (EU) No 844/2012, and in particular its completeness and timeliness, and concluded that it was admissible. The application has been made public by the Authority. On 10 November 2023, the rapporteur Member State submitted the draft renewal assessment report to the Authority, which conducted a public consultation on it between 16 December 2024 and 14 February 2025. On 6 October 2025, the Authority requested additional information for the purposes of the renewal assessment pursuant to Article 13(3) of Implementing Regulation (EU) No 844/2012 and the applicant submitted that information on 5 November 2025 within the deadline given. On 17 June 2026, the rapporteur Member State submitted the revised draft renewal assessment report to the Authority. If no additional information pursuant to Article 13(3a) of Implementing Regulation (EU) No 844/2012 is requested, the Authority estimates that it will be able to finalise its conclusion for beflubutamid by the end of March 2027, and as the Commission will need time to adopt the ensuing risk management decisions, the duration of the extension of the approval period should be set at 21 months, until 31 July 2028.

• (25) Two applications for the renewal of the approval of the active substance clomazone were submitted on 30 October 2015 and the rapporteur Member State informed the co-rapporteur Member State, the Commission and the Authority on 8 February 2016 that it had assessed the admissibility of the applications pursuant to Article 3 of Implementing Regulation (EU) No 844/2012, and in particular their completeness and timeliness, and concluded that they were admissible. The applications have been made public by the Authority. On 12 February 2018, the rapporteur Member State submitted the draft renewal assessment report to the Authority, which conducted a public consultation on it between 8 March and 8 May 2023.

On 18 February 2020, the Authority requested additional information for the purposes of assessment of the approval criteria concerning endocrine disrupting properties set out in points 3.6.5 and 3.8.2 of Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009, as amended by Commission Regulation (EU) 2018/605 [^ntr28-L_202601826EN.000101-E0028], pursuant to Article 13(3a) of Implementing Regulation (EU) No 844/2012 and the applicants submitted that information on 12 and 16 August, and 31 October 2022, respectively, within the deadline given. The Authority conducted an additional public consultation on the updated draft renewal assessment report between 31 October 2023 and 3 January 2024. On 18 December 2024, the Authority adopted its conclusion and communicated it to the applicants, the Member States and the Commission; it was published on 21 February 2025. The Authority published a revised version of the conclusion on 1 September 2025 to clarify issues related to data gaps identified. The Commission initiated preliminary discussions on the renewal of the approval of the active substance clomazone in the Standing Committee on Plants, Animals, Food and Feed on 11 March 2025. However, in spite of the revised conclusion, some outstanding scientific issues concerning the technical specification of the active substance, effective risk mitigation measures, human exposure and ecotoxicological properties still have to be clarified. The Commission is therefore preparing a new mandate to the Authority. As additional time is necessary to complete the remaining steps in the renewal procedure, the duration of the extension of the approval period should be set at 15 months, until 31 December 2027.

On 18 December 2024, the Authority adopted its conclusion and communicated it to the applicant, the Member States and the Commission. The Commission initiated preliminary discussions on the renewal of the approval of the active substance cyprodinil in the Standing Committee on Plants, Animals, Food and Feed on 11 March 2025. The draft renewal report and the draft implementing regulation were discussed in the Standing Committee on 10 March 2026.
