1. Member States shall in accordance with Directive 91/414/EEC, where necessary, amend or withdraw existing authorisations for plant protection products containing clodinafop, pirimicarb, rimsulfuron, tolclofos-methyl or triticonazole as active substances by 31 July 2007.By that date they shall in particular verify that the conditions in Annex I to that Directive relating to clodinafop, pirimicarb, rimsulfuron, tolclofos-methyl and triticonazole are met, with the exception of those identified in part B of the entry concerning that active substance, and that the holder of the authorisation has, or has access to, a dossier satisfying the requirements of Annex II to that Directive in accordance with the conditions of Article 13 of that Directive.
2. By way of derogation from paragraph 1, for each authorised plant protection product containing clodinafop, pirimicarb, rimsulfuron, tolclofos-methyl or triticonazole as either the only active substance or as one of several active substances all of which were listed in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC by 31 January 2007 at the latest, Member States shall re-evaluate the product in accordance with the uniform principles provided for in Annex VI to Directive 91/414/EEC, on the basis of a dossier satisfying the requirements of Annex III to that Directive and taking into account part B of the entry in Annex I to that Directive concerning clodinafop, pirimicarb, rimsulfuron, tolclofos-methyl and triticonazole respectively. On the basis of that evaluation, they shall determine whether the product satisfies the conditions set out in Article 4(1)(b), (c), (d) and (e) of Directive 91/414/EEC.Following that determination Member States shall:
(a) in the case of a product containing clodinafop, pirimicarb, rimsulfuron, tolclofos-methyl or triticonazole as the only active substance, where necessary, amend or withdraw the authorisation by 31 January 2011 at the latest; or
(b) in the case of a product containing clodinafop, pirimicarb, rimsulfuron, tolclofos-methyl or triticonazole as one of several active substances, where necessary, amend or withdraw the authorisation by 31 January 2011 or by the date fixed for such an amendment or withdrawal in the respective Directive or Directives which added the relevant substance or substances to Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC, whichever is the latest.

PART B For the implementation of the uniform principles of Annex VI, the conclusions of the review report on pirimicarb, and in particular Appendices I and II thereof, as finalised in the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health on 27 January 2006 shall be taken into account.
Member States must pay particular attention to the safety of operators and ensure that conditions of use prescribe the application of adequate personal protective equipment.
Member States must pay particular attention to the protection of aquatic organisms and must ensure that the conditions of authorisation include risk mitigation measures, where appropriate, such as buffer zones.
The concerned Member States shall request the submission of further studies to confirm the long term risk assessment for birds and for potential groundwater contamination, in particular concerning metabolite R35140.
