3.The [F49assessing competent authority] shall make an independent, objective and transparent assessment in the light of current scientific and technical knowledge. It shall take into account the supplementary dossiers, and, where appropriate, the dossiers submitted for the approval and subsequent renewals of approval.
4.The [F50assessing competent authority] shall first establish whether the approval criteria set out in points 3.6.2, 3.6.3, 3.6.4 and 3.7 of Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 are satisfied.
Where those criteria are not satisfied, the draft renewal assessment report shall be limited to those parts of the assessment, unless Article 4(7) of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 applies.
5.Where the [F51assessing competent authority] requires additional information, it shall set a period for the applicant to supply that information. F52... The applicant may, pursuant to Article 63 of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009, request such information to be kept confidential.
[F535A.The 13 month period provided for in paragraph 1 is extended by any additional period set in accordance with paragraph 5.
5B.The additional period described in paragraph 5 must be for no more than 6 months and ceases at the earlier of—
(a)the date on which the assessing competent authority receives the additional information;
(b)the expiry of the additional period.]
[F546.The assessing competent authority may, as it considers appropriate—
(a)obtain independent scientific advice;
(b)consult with the other competent authorities.]
7.Information submitted by the applicant without having been requested, or provided after the expiry of the period set for its submission in accordance with the first sentence of paragraph 5, shall not be taken into account, unless it is submitted in accordance with Article 56 of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009.
8.[F55When submitting the draft renewal assessment report to the other competent authorities, the assessing competent authority must require the applicant to notify the other competent authorities of the existence of any updated supplementary summary dossiers. Article 15(4) of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 applies to a notification under this paragraph as it applies to a notification under Article 15(3) of that Regulation.]
The applicant may pursuant to Article 63 of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 request such information to be kept confidential. Any such requests shall be addressed to the [F56assessing competent authority].
[F579.The [F58assessing competent authority] shall at the latest at the time of submission of the draft renewal assessment report submit a proposal to the [F59Agency] pursuant to Article [F6037A(2)(2)] of Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 and in accordance with the Agency’s requirements to obtain an opinion on a [F61mandatory classification and labelling] of the active substance at least for the following hazard classes:
explosives,
acute toxicity,
skin corrosion/irritation,
serious eye damage/eye irritation,
respiratory or skin sensitisation,
germ cell mutagenicity,
carcinogenicity,
reproductive toxicity,
specific target organ toxicity – single exposure,
specific target organ toxicity – repeated exposure;
hazardous to the aquatic environment.
The [F62assessing competent authority] shall duly justify its view that the criteria for classification for one or more of these hazard classes are not fulfilled.
Where a proposal for classification of an active substance has already been submitted to the Agency and its assessment is ongoing, the [F62assessing competent authority] shall submit an additional proposal for classification, limited to any hazard classes listed above that are not covered by the pending proposal unless new information has become available that was not part of the pending dossier as regards the hazard classes listed above.
For the hazard classes, which are already covered by an existing opinion of the Committee for Risk Assessment of the Agency set up pursuant to Article 76(1)(c) of Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006, [F63or by an Agency opinion,] whether or not this opinion has formed the basis of a decision concerning an entry for [F64mandatory classification] and labelling of a substance in [F65the GB mandatory classification and labelling list], it is sufficient that the rapporteur Member State duly justifies in its submission to the Agency that the existing opinion, or where it has already formed the basis of a decision concerning the inclusion in [F66the GB mandatory classification and labelling list], the existing classification remains valid as regards the hazard classes listed in the first subparagraph. The Agency may provide its views regarding the [F67assessing competent authority’s] submission.]
