79In that regard, it should be recalled that the provisions of Regulation No 1107/2009 are based on the precautionary principle and do not prevent Member States from applying that principle where there is scientific uncertainty as to the risks to human or animal health or the environment posed by plant protection products to be authorised in their territory (judgment of 1 October 2019, Blaise and Others, C‑616/17, EU:C:2019:800, paragraph 44). The Commission is in the same position where there is scientific uncertainty concerning risks of that sort posed by active substances which are subject to review in accordance with Article 21 of Regulation No 1107/2009.
