1.

By way of derogation from Article 32(2), any of the Member States concerned may propose to refuse to grant an authorisation or to adjust the terms and conditions of the authorisation to be granted, provided that such a measure can be justified on grounds of: the protection of the environment; public policy or public security; the protection of health and life of humans, particularly of vulnerable groups, or of animals or plants; the protection of national treasures possessing artistic, historic or archaeological value; or the target organisms not being present in harmful quantities. Any of the Member States concerned may, in particular, propose in accordance with the first subparagraph to refuse to grant an authorisation or to adjust the terms and conditions of the authorisation to be granted for a biocidal product containing an active substance to which Article 5(2) or Article 10(1) applies.
