The assessment reports have been peer reviewed by the Member States and the EFSA and presented to the Commission on 29 September 2008 for chlormequat and teflubenzuron, on 30 September 2008 for copper compounds and zeta-cypermethrin and on 26 November 2008 for propaquizafop and quizalofop-P in the format of the EFSA Scientific Reports (¥). These reports have been reviewed by the Member States and the Commission within the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health and finalised on 23 January 2009 in the format of the Commission review reports for chlormequat, copper compounds, propaquizafop, quizalofop-P, teflubenzuron and zeta- cypermethrin. It has appeared from the various examinations made that plant protection products containing chlormequat, copper compounds, propaquizafop, quizalofop-P, teflu- benzuron and zeta-cypermethrin may be expected to satisfy, in general, the requirements laid down in Article 5(1)(a) and (b) of Directive 91/414[EEC, in EFSA Scientific Report (2008) 179, Conclusion regarding the peer review of the pesticide risk assessment of the active substance chlor- mequat (finalised 29 September 2008).
