That information was also made public by electronic means.\n(4)\nWithin the period of three months from this publication, a number of companies indicated an interest in taking over the role of participant for one or more of the substances and product-types concerned. However, those companies subsequently failed to submit a complete dossier or withdrew.\n(5)\nPursuant to Article 12(4) and (5) of Regulation (EC) No 1451/2007, the substances and product-types concerned should therefore not be approved in accordance with Article 9 of Regulation (EU) No 528/2012.\n(6)\nThe measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Biocidal Products,\nHAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:",
