Draft Commission Implementing Regulation concerning renewing the approval of the active substance cypermethrin as a candidate for substitution in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council concerning the placing of plant protection products on the market, and amending the Annex to Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 540/2011:
This draft Commission Implementing Regulation provides that the approval of the active substance cypermethrin is renewed in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009.

Draft Commission Implementing Regulation concerning the non-renewal of approval of the active substance indoxacarb, in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council concerning the placing of plant protection products on the market, and amending Implementing Regulation (EU) No 540/2011 (Text with EEA relevance): (...)
In order for an active substance to be approved in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 (concerning the placing of plant protection products on the market), it must be demonstrated that the substance is not harmful to human health, animal health or the environment. (...) The EFSA identified a critical concern in relation to the high long-term risk to wild mammals for all representative uses and, additionally, a high risk to consumers and workers for the representative use in lettuce and a high risk to bees for the representative use in maize, sweet corn and lettuce for seed production. Furthermore, there are several areas of the risk assessment not finalised due to lack of data in the dossier. These concerns mean that indoxacarb does not meet the approval criteria as outlined in Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 and cannot be approved currently. (...) |
