THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 21 October 2009 concerning the placing of plant protection products on the market and repealing Council Directives 79/117/EEC and 91/414/EEC^note, and in particular Article 20(1) thereof,Whereas:

(1)The approval of the active substance florasulam, as set out in Part A of the Annex to Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 540/2011^note, expires on 31 December 2015.

(2)An application for the renewal of the inclusion of florasulam in Annex I to Council Directive 91/414/EEC^note was submitted in accordance with Article 4 of Commission Regulation (EU) No 1141/2010^note within the time period provided for in that Article.

(3)The applicant submitted the supplementary dossiers required in accordance with Article 9 of Regulation (EU) No 1141/2010. The application was found to be complete by the rapporteur Member State.

(4)The rapporteur Member State prepared a renewal assessment report in consultation with the co-rapporteur Member State and submitted it to the European Food Safety Authority (hereinafter ‘the Authority’) and the Commission on 25 November 2013.

(5)The Authority communicated the renewal assessment report to the applicant and to the Member States for comments and forwarded the comments received to the Commission. The Authority also made the supplementary summary dossier available to the public.

(6)On 22 December 2014^note the Authority communicated to the Commission its conclusion on whether florasulam can be expected to meet the approval criteria provided for in Article 4 of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009. The Commission presented the draft review report for florasulam to the Standing Committee on Plants, Animals, Food and Feed on 28 May 2015.

(7)It has been established with respect to one or more representative uses of at least one plant protection product containing the active substance that the approval criteria provided for in Article 4 are satisfied. Those approval criteria are therefore deemed to be satisfied.

(8)It is therefore appropriate to renew the approval of florasulam.

(9)The risk assessment for the renewal of the approval of florasulam is based on a limited number of representative uses, which however do not restrict the uses for which plant protection products containing florasulam may be authorised. It is therefore appropriate not to maintain the restriction to uses as a herbicide.

(10)In accordance with Article 20(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009, in conjunction with Article 13(4) thereof, the Annex to Implementing Regulation (EU) No 540/2011 should be amended accordingly.

(11)This Regulation should apply from the day after the date of expiry of the approval of the active substance florasulam, as referred to in recital 1.

(12)The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Plants, Animals, Food and Feed,
