Implementing Decision 2011/253/EU confirmed that the dossier was ‘complete’ in the sense that it could be considered as satisfying, in principle, the data and information require- ments of Annexes II and III to Directive 91/414/EEC.

It is therefore appropriate to approve Streptomyces lydicus strain WYEC 108.
