The designated rapporteur Member State submitted a draft assessment report on 30 June 2011. The draft assessment report was reviewed by the Member States and the European Food Safety Authority (here- inafter ‘the Authority’). The Authority presented to the Commission its conclusion on the review of the pesticide risk assessment of the active substance geraniol (*) on 15 October 2012. The draft assessment report and the conclusion of the Authority were reviewed by the Member States and the Commission within the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health and the draft assessment report was finalised on 17 May 2013 in the format of the Commission review report for geraniol. It has appeared from the various examinations made that plant protection products containing geraniol may be expected to satisfy, in general, the requirements laid down in Article 5(1)(a) and (b) and Article 5(3) of Directive 91/414[EEC, in particular with regard to the use which was examined and detailed in the Commission review report. It is therefore appropriate to approve geraniol. In accordance with Article 13(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 in conjunction with Article 6 thereof and in the light of current scientific and technical knowledge, it is, however, necessary to include certain conditions and restrictions. It is, in particular, appropriate to require further confirmatory information. A reasonable period should be allowed to elapse before approval in order to permit Member States and the interested parties to prepare themselves to meet the new requirements resulting from the approval.
