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 13(2) in conjunction with Article 23(5) thereof,Whereas:

(1)On 20 September 2017 the Commission received an application from Basic-Eco-Logique for the approval of milk as a basic substance. That application was accompanied by the information required by the second subparagraph of Article 23(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009. The applicant was allowed to complete the application, which was finalised in the new version of May 2018. On that occasion the applicant changed the scope of the application to (raw whole) cow milk.

(2)The Commission asked the European Food Safety Authority (‘the Authority’) for scientific assistance. The Authority provided the Commission with a technical report on 22 August 2018^note. The Commission presented the review report^note and a draft of this Regulation to the Standing Committee on Plants, Animals, Food and Feed on 21 October 2019 and finalised them for the meeting of that Committee on 24 March 2020.

(3)The information provided by the applicant shows that cow milk fulfils the criteria of a foodstuff as defined in Article 2 of Regulation (EC) No 178/2002 of the European Parliament and of the Council^note. Moreover, it is not predominantly used for plant protection purposes but, nevertheless is useful in plant protection in a product consisting of the substance and water or even undiluted. Consequently it is to be considered as a basic substance.

(4)Milk which is not intended for human consumption is considered as an animal by-product according to Regulation (EC) No 1069/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council^note. As such it should comply with that Regulation and Commission Regulation (EU) No 142/2011^note.

(5)As due to lactose and milk proteins milk is listed as a substance or product causing allergies or intolerances according to point 7 in Annex II to Regulation (EU) No 1169/2011 of the European Parliament and the Council^note it is appropriate to limit the uses to growth stages at which no fruits are present.

(6)It has appeared from the examinations made that cow milk may be expected to satisfy, in general, the requirements laid down in Article 23 of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009, in particular with regard to the uses which were examined and detailed in the Commission review report. It is therefore appropriate to approve cow milk as a basic substance.

(7)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 for the approval which are detailed in Annex I to this Regulation.

(8)In accordance with Article 13(4) of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009, the Annex to Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 540/2011^note should be amended accordingly.

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