Having regard to Council Directive 91/414/EEC of 15 July 1991 concerning the placing of plant protection products on the market [1], and in particular the second subparagraph of Article 8(2) thereof,

Whereas:

(1) Commission Regulations (EC) No 1112/2002 [2] and (EC) No 2229/2004 [3] lay down the detailed rules for the implementation of the fourth stage of the programme of work referred to in Article 8(2) of Directive 91/414/EEC and include a list of the active substances covered by that stage.

(2) It has become apparent that some of the active substances included in the list set out in Regulation (EC) No 2229/2004 have never been on the market as plant protection products as defined by Directive 91/414/EEC, and, consequently, ought not to have been included in that list. Those substances should be removed from that list.

(3) Regulation (EC) No 2229/2004 should therefore be amended accordingly.

(4) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
