Article 6
Submission and checking of data lists 1. By 23 May 2003 at the latest, the notifier(s) shall submit to the relevant rapporteur Member State the data lists for active substances listed in Annex I, and submit a copy to the EFSA. Where, for any active substance listed in Annex I, there are several notifications, the notifiers concerned shall take all reasonable steps to submit these data lists collectively. Where a data list is not submitted by all notifiers concerned, it shall mention the efforts made and the reasons why certain notifiers have not participated. For active substances notified by more than one notifier those notifiers shall for each study involving vertebrate animals, detail the attempts made to avoid duplication of testing and give, if applicable, the reasons for conducting a duplicate study. 2. The data lists shall be prepared in the format specified in accordance with the procedure provided for in Article 19 of Directive 91/414/EEC. The full data package, as defined in Article 10(4) of Regulation (EC) No 451/2000, shall be kept available by the notifiers. On written request from the rapporteur Member State or the Commission, the notifier shall provide without delay, the part of the data package or the full data package requested. 3. The rapporteur Member State shall examine the data lists submitted to establish whether they indicate that a full data package is available to be submitted. For those active substances for which a rapporteur Member State considers that no full data package is available to be submitted, the rapporteur Member State shall request the notifier to submit without delay a full data package and check whether it is complete. The rapporteur Member State shall report the results of these checks to the Commission at the latest within three months of receipt of the data lists. 4. For those active substances for which the rapporteur Member State considers that no full data package is available it shall inform the Commission without delay. In accordance with the procedure provided for in Article 19 of Directive 91/414/EEC, it shall be decided whether a full data package is available. 5. Where it is considered that no full data package is available for a particular active substance, the Commission shall decide, as provided for in the fourth subparagraph of Article 8(2) of Directive 91/414/EEC, not to include the active substance concerned in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC. 6. Unless the Commission informs the notifier that no full data package is available for a particular active substance, the notifier shall submit the dossiers referred to in Article 7(2) and (3) by the time limits specified in Article 7(1).
