L 59/8 Official Journal of the European Union 4.3.2011 COMMISSION REGULATION (EU) No 2142011 of 3 March 2011 amending Annexes I and V to Regulation (EC) No 689/2008 of the European Parliament and of the Council concerning the export and import of dangerous chemicals THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION, Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 689/2008 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 17 June 2008 concerning the export and import of dangerous chemicals ('), and in particular Article 22(4) thereof, Whereas: Regulation (EC) No 689/2008 implements the Rotterdam Convention on the Prior Informed Consent Procedure for certain hazardous chemicals and pesticides in inter- national trade, signed on 11 September 1998 and approved, on behalf of the Community, by Council Decision 2003/106/EC (2. Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 689/2008 should be amended to take into account regulatory action in respect of certain chemicals taken pursuant to Council Directive 91/414/EEC of 15 July 1991 concerning the placing of plant protection products on the market (%), Directive 98/8/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 16 February 1998 concerning the placing of biocidal products on the market (¥ and Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 18 December 2006 concerning the regis- tration, evaluation, authorisation and restriction of chemicals (REACH), establishing a European Chemicals Agency, amending Directive 1999/45/EC and repealing Council Regulation (EEC) No 793/93 and Commission Regulation (EC) No 1488/94 as well as Council Directive 76/769/EEC and Commission Directives 91/155/EEC, 93/67[EEC, 93/105/EC and 2000/21/EC (%). Annex V to Regulation (EC) No 689/2008 should be amended to take into account decisions taken in respect of certain chemicals under the Stockholm Convention on persistant organic pollutants (the 204, 31.7.2008, p. 1. 63, 6.3.2003, p. 27. 123, 24.4.1998, p. 1. 396, 30.12.2006, p. 1.

Annex V should also be amended to reflect regulatory action taken to ban the export of certain chemicals other than persistent organic pollutants. The substances diphenylamine, triazoxide and tri- flumuron have not been included as active substances in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC, with the effect that those active substances are banned 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 689/2008. Since new applications were submitted that will require new decisions on inclusion in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC, the addition to the list of chemicals contained in Part 2 of Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 689/2008 should not be applied until the new decisions on the status of those chemicals are adopted. The substances bifenthrin and metam have not been included as active substances in Annex I to Directive 91/414[EEC; as far as Directive 98/8/EC is concerned those substances have been identified and notified for evaluation. As a result bifenthrin and metam are severely restricted for pesticide use since the use of both substances is almost completely prohibited despite the fact that they may continue to be authorised by Member States until a decision under Directive 98/8/EC is taken. It is therefore appropriate to add bifenthrin and metam to the list of chemicals contained in Parts 1 and 2 of Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 689/2008. Since new applications were submitted that will require new decisions on inclusion in Annex I to Directive 91/414[EEC, the addition to the list of chemicals contained in Part 2 of Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 689/2008 should not be applied until the new decisions on the status of those chemicals are adopted. The substance carbosulfan has not been included as an active substance in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC, with the effect that carbosulfan is banned 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 689/2008. The addition of carbosulfan to Part 2 of L 209, 31.7.2006, p. 1. L 158, 30.4.2004, p. 7.
