By that date they shall in particular verify that the conditions in Annex I to that Directive relating to aclonifen, imidacloprid and metazachlor 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 aclonifen, imidacloprid and metazachlor 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 July 2009 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 aclonifen, imidacloprid and metazachlor 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 aclonifen, imidacloprid and metazachlor as the only active substance, where necessary, amend or withdraw the authorisation by 31 January 2014 at the latest; or
