Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,

Having regard to Directive 98/8/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 16 February 1998 concerning the placing of biocidal products on the market [1], and in particular Article 16(2) thereof,

Whereas:

(1) Commission Regulation (EC) No 1451/2007 [2] establishes a list of active substances to be assessed, with a view to their possible inclusion in Annex I, IA or IB to Directive 98/8/EC.

(2) For a number of substance/product type combinations included in that list, either all participants have discontinued their participation from the review programme, or no complete dossier was received within the time period specified in Article 9 and Article 12(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1451/2007 by the Member State designated as rapporteur for the evaluation.

(3) Consequently, and pursuant to Articles 11(2), 12(1) and 13(5) of Regulation (EC) No 1451/2007, the Commission informed the Member States accordingly. That information was also made public by electronic means on 13 January 2009, 11 February 2009 and 11 March 2009.

(5) A new deadline should therefore be established for the submission of dossiers for these substances and product-types in accordance with the second subparagraph of Article 12(3) of that Regulation.

(6) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Biocidal Products,
