In accordance with the second subparagraph of Article 16 i of Directive 98/8/EC, it may be decided through the regulatory procedure with scrutiny referred to in Article 28 i of the Directive that an existing active substance shall be included in Annex I to the Directive. In the view of the Commission, the conclusions of the evaluation of flufenoxuron are that the conditions for the inclusion of the substance in Annex I for use in product-type 8, wood preservatives, as defined in Annex V to the Directive, are met under certain conditions. Accordingly, the Commission submitted a draft Directive for vote in the Committee established under Article 28 i of Directive 98/8/EC. The Committee did not deliver a favourable opinion on the draft Directive in its meeting on 22 September 2011.
Thus, in accordance with the procedure set out in Article 5(a) of Decision 1999/468/EC, a Proposal for a Council Directive is submitted to the Council and forwarded to the European Parliament.
