EU extended approval periods for some pesticide ais
Apr. 12, 2016
The European Commission extended the approval periods for some pesticide active substances because more time needed to make renewal decision. These active substances are: 2,4-D, acibenzolar-s-methyl, amitrole, bentazone, cyhalofop butyl, diquat, esfenvalerate, famoxadone, flumioxazine, DPX KE 459 (flupyrsulfuron-methyl), glyphosate, iprovalicarb, isoproturon, lambda-cyhalothrin, metalaxyl-M, metsulfuron methyl, picolinafen, prosulfuron, pymetrozine, pyraflufen-ethyl, thiabendazole, thifensulfuron-methyl and triasulfuron. New expiration date for these substances is June 30, 2016.
The approvals of these active substances were supposed to expire on 31 December 2015. Applications for the renewal of the inclusion of those substances in Annex I to Council Directive 91/414/EEC ( 3 ) were submitted already. But the assessment of the substances has been delayed for reasons beyond the control of the applicants, the approvals of those active substances are likely to expire before a decision has been taken on their renewal. So it is therefore necessary to extend their approval periods.
