Checking of supplementary dossiers
Article 11
1. Within 1 month of receipt of the supplementary dossiers, the rapporteur Member State shall check whether the supplementary dossiers have been submitted by the date set in column D of Annex I for the respective active substance and whether they contain all the elements provided for in Article 10(1) and 10(3), using the checklist referred to in Article 10(1)(i). 2. Where the supplementary dossiers have been submitted by the applicable date and contain all the elements provided for in Article 10(1) and 10(3), the rapporteur Member State shall, within the period provided for in paragraph 1, inform the applicant, the Commission and the Authority of the date of receipt and that the dossiers are considered to be complete. The rapporteur Member State shall then start assessing the active substance. 3. Where the supplementary dossiers have not been submitted by the applicable date or do not contain all the elements provided for in Article 10(1) and 10(3), the rapporteur Member State shall, within the period provided for in paragraph 1, inform the applicant of the date of receipt and explain which elements are missing. It shall at the same time set the applicant a period of 14 days to render the dossier compliant. That period shall extend the period of 1 month provided for in paragraph 1. Where, at the end of the period set for rendering the supplementary dossiers compliant, the dossiers contain all the elements provided for in Article 10(1) and 10(3), paragraph 2 shall apply. Where, at the end of the period set for rendering the supplementary dossiers compliant, the dossiers still do not contain all the elements provided for in Article 10(1) and 10(3), the rapporteur Member State shall immediately inform the applicant, the Commission and the Authority that the application is rejected, explaining the reasons for its decision. 4. Where for an active substance no supplementary dossiers that fulfil the requirements of Article 10(1) and 10(3) have been submitted by the applicable date, in accordance with Directive 91/414/EEC, the active substance shall be removed from Annex I to that Directive. Its non-inclusion and the withdrawal of the authorisations of plant-protection products containing that active substance shall be provided for.
