Commission Directive 2007/52[EC (O] L 214, 17.8.2007, p. 3). Commission Regulations (EC) No 451/2000 () and (EC) No 1490/2002 (}) lay down the detailed rules for the implementation of the third stage of the programme of work referred to in Article 8(2) of Directive 91/414[EEC and establish a list of active substances to be assessed, with a view to their possible inclusion in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC. That list includes fludioxonil, clomazone and prosulfocarb. For those active substances the effects on human health and the environment have been assessed in accordance with the provisions laid down in Regulations (EC) No 451/2000 and (EC) No 1490/2002 for a range of uses proposed by the notifiers. Moreover, those Regulations designate the rapporteur Member States which have to submit the relevant assessment reports and recommen- dations to the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) in accordance with Article 10(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1490/2002. For fludioxonil and clomazone the rapporteur Member State was Denmark and all relevant Directive as last amended by (®» OJ L 55, 29.2.2000, p. 25. Regulation as last amended by Regu- lation (EC) No 1044/2003 (O] L 151, 19.6.2003, p. 32). () OJ L 224, 21.8.2002, p. 23. Regulation as last amended by Regu- lation (EC) No 1095/2007 (O] L 246, 21.9.2007, p. 19). information was submitted on 5 April 2005 and 16 March 2005 respectively. For prosulfocarb the rapporteur Member State was Sweden and all relevant information was submitted on 20 April 2005. The assessment reports have been peer reviewed by the Member States and the EFSA and presented to the Commission on 27 July 2007 for fludioxonil, clomazone and prosulfocarb, 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 9 October 2007 in the format of the Commission review reports for fludioxonil, clomazone and prosulfocarb. It has appeared from the various examinations made that plant protection products containing fludioxonil, clomazone and prosulfocarb may be expected to satisfy, in general, the requirements laid down in Article 5(1)(a) and (b) of Directive 91/414[EEC, in particular with regard to the uses which were examined and detailed in the Commission review reports. It is therefore appropriate to include these active substances in Annex I, in order to ensure that in all Member States the authorisations of plant protection products containing these active substances can be granted in accordance with the provisions of that Directive. A reasonable period should be allowed to elapse before an active substance is included in Annex I in order to permit Member States and the interested parties to prepare themselves to meet the new requirements which will result from the inclusion.
