Draft Commission Implementing Regulation concerning the non-renewal of approval of the active substance benfluralin, 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.
his draft Commission Implementing Regulation provides that the approval of the active substance benfluralin is not renewed in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009. EU Member States shall withdraw authorisations for plant protection products containing benfluralin as an active substance. 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 (...) During the evaluation and peer-review of benfluralin, a number of concerns and areas that could not be finalised were identified. These are detailed in the conclusion of the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) . In particular a long-term risk to birds and mammals including the risk from secondary poisoning of earthworm-eating birds and mammals was identified as a critical area of concern. Furthermore, a long-term risk to aquatic organisms from benfluralin even when applying mitigation measures and the long-term risk to aquatic organisms from metabolites 371R and 372R could not be excluded. Finally, a genotoxic potential of an impurity cannot be excluded since the technical specification, including the level of that impurity, was not supported by the toxicological assessment. |
