Commission Regulation (EC) No 777/2006 of 23 May 2006 amending Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 304/2003 of the European Parliament and of the Council concerning the export and import of dangerous chemicals (Text with EEA relevance)
Commission Regulation (EC) No 777/2006of 23 May 2006amending Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 304/2003 of the European Parliament and of the Council concerning the export and import of dangerous chemicals(Text with EEA relevance) THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 304/2003 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 28 January 2003 concerning the export and import of dangerous chemicalsOJ L 63, 6.3.2003, p. 1. Regulation as last amended by Commission Regulation (EC) No 775/2004 (OJ L 123, 27.4.2004, p. 27)., and in particular Article 22(4) and (5) thereof,After consulting the Committee established by Article 29 of Council Directive 67/548/EEC of 27 June 1967 on the approximation of laws, regulations and administrative provisions relating to the classification, packaging and labelling of dangerous substancesOJ 196, 16.8.1967, p. 1. Directive as last amended by Commission Directive 2004/73/EC (OJ L 152, 30.4.2004, p. 1). for the measures referred to in Article 22(5) of Regulation (EC) No 304/2003,Whereas:(1)Regulation (EC) No 304/2003 implements the Rotterdam Convention on the Prior Informed Consent Procedure (PIC procedure) for Certain Hazardous Chemicals and pesticides in International Trade, signed on 11 September 1998 and approved, on behalf of the Community, by Council Decision 2003/106/ECOJ L 63, 6.3.2003, p. 27..(2)In the light of Commission Regulation (EC) No 2076/2002 of 20 November 2002 extending the time period referred to in Article 8(2) of Council Directive 91/414/EEC and concerning the non-inclusion of certain active substances in Annex I to that Directive and the withdrawal of authorisations for plant protection products containing these substancesOJ L 319, 23.11.2002, p. 3. Regulation as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1335/2005 (OJ L 211, 13.8.2005, p. 6). and Commission Decision 2004/129/EC of 30 January 2004 concerning the non-inclusion of certain active substances in Annex I to Council Directive 91/414/EEC and the withdrawal of authorisations for plant protection products containing these substancesOJ L 37, 10.2.2004, p. 27. Decision as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1335/2005., taken within the framework of Council Directive 91/414/EEC of 15 July 1991 concerning the placing of plant protection products on the marketOJ L 230, 19.8.1991, p. 1. Directive as last amended by Commission Directive 2006/39/EC (OJ L 104, 13.4.2006, p. 30)., a number of the chemicals concerned should be added to the list of chemicals contained in Part 1 of Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 304/2003. The listings should also reflect the fact that none of the chemicals concerned have been notified under the Community review programme for evaluation of existing substances under Directive 98/8/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 16 February 1998 concerning the placing of biocidal products on the marketOJ L 123, 24.4.1998, p. 1. Directive as amended by Regulation (EC) No 1882/2003 (OJ L 284, 31.10.2003, p. 1)., although some of the chemicals had been identified and thus Member States may allow their use in such products until 1 September 2006 at the latest in accordance with their national legislation.(3)In the light of Commission Decision 2005/864/EC of 2 December 2005 concerning the non-inclusion of endosulfan in Annex I to Council Directive 91/414/EEC and the withdrawal of authorisations for plant protection products containing this active substanceOJ L 317, 3.12.2005, p. 25., and bearing in mind that endosulfan has been identified but not notified for evaluation under Directive 98/8/EC and thus may continue to be authorised by Member States until 1 September 2006, it is severely restricted for pesticide use and thus should be added to the lists of chemicals contained in parts 1 and 2 of Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 304/2003.(4)At its first meeting in September 2004, the Conference of the Parties to the Rotterdam Convention decided to make a number of amendments to Annex III to the Convention listing the chemicals subject to the PIC procedure, all of which have entered into force by 1 January 2006. The lists of chemicals contained in parts 1, 2 and 3 of Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 304/2003 should therefore be amended accordingly.(5)Furthermore the existing entries for certain chemicals require updating to take account of regulatory developments since Annex I was last amended. In addition, parts 1 and 2 of Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 304/2003 contain some small errors that require correction.(6)Regulation (EC) No 304/2003 should therefore be amended accordingly.(7)The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee established by Article 29 of Directive 67/548/EEC,HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 304/2003 is amended in accordance with the Annex to this Regulation.
