Article 1Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC is amended as set out in the Annex to this Directive.
Article 2Member States shall adopt and publish by 30 June 2004 at the latest the laws, regulations and administrative provisions necessary to comply with this Directive. They shall forthwith inform the Commission thereof.They shall apply those provisions from 1 July 2004.When Member States adopt those provisions, they shall contain a reference to this Directive or shall be accompanied by such a reference on the occasion of their official publication. 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 flurtamone, flufenacet, iodosulfuron, dimethenamid-p, picoxystrobin, fosthiazate or silthiofam to ensure that the conditions relating to these active substances set out in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC are complied with. Where necessary, they shall amend or withdraw authorisations in accordance with Directive 91/414/EEC by 30 June 2004 at the latest.2.For each authorised plant protection product containing flurtamone, flufenacet, iodosulfuron, dimethenamid-p, picoxystrobin, fosthiazate or silthiofam 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 31 December 2003 at the latest, Member States shall 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 to that Directive. On the basis of that evaluation, they shall determine whether the product satisfies the conditions set out in Article 4(1)(b), (c), (d) and (e) of Directive 91/414/EEC.Following that determination Member States shall:(a)in the case of a product containing flurtamone, flufenacet, iodosulfuron, dimethenamid-p, picoxystrobin, fosthiazate or silthiofam as the only active substance, where necessary, amend or withdraw the authorisation by 30 June 2005 at the latest; or(b)in the case of a product containing flurtamone, flufenacet, iodosulfuron, dimethenamid-p, picoxystrobin, fosthiazate or silthiofam as one of several active substances, where necessary, amend or withdraw the authorisation by 30 June 2005 or by the date fixed for such an amendment or withdrawal in the respective Directive or Directives which added the relevant substance or substances to Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC, whichever is the latest.
