Member States shall determine how such reference is to be made.
Article 31.Member States shall review the authorisation for each plant protection product containing imazamox, oxasulfuron, ethoxysulfuron, foramsulfuron, oxadiargyl, or cyazofamid to ensure that the conditions relating to this active substance set out in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC are complied with. Where necessary, they shall amend or withdraw the authorisation in accordance with Directive 91/414/EEC before 31 December 2003.2.Member States shall, for each authorised plant protection product containing imazamox, oxasulfuron, ethoxysulfuron, foramsulfuron, oxadiargyl, or cyazofamid as either the only active substance or as one of several active substances all of which were listed in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC by 30 June 2003, re-evaluate the product in accordance with the uniform principles provided for in Annex VI to Directive 91/414/EEC, on the basis of a dossier satisfying the requirements of Annex III thereto.
