THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,

Having regard to Directive 2001/95/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 3 December 2001 on general product safety, and in particular Article 13 thereof,

Whereas:

(1) Commission Decision 2009/251/EC requires Member States to ensure that products containing the biocide dimethylfumarate (DMF) are not placed or made available on the market.

(2) Decision 2009/251/EC was adopted in accordance with the provisions of Article 13 of Directive 2001/95/EC, which restricts the validity of the Decision to a period not exceeding 1 year, but allows it to be confirmed for additional periods none of which shall exceed 1 year.

(3) The validity of Decision 2009/251/EC was extended by Commission Decision 2010/153/EU for an additional period of 1 year. In the light of the experience acquired so far and the absence of a permanent measure addressing consumer products containing DMF, it is necessary to extend the validity of Decision 2009/251/EC for a further 12 months.

(4) Decision 2009/251/EC should be amended accordingly.

(5) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee established by Article 15 of Directive 2001/95/EC,

HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:
