EU draft Commission Implementing Regulation concerning the non-renewal of approval of the active substance fenamiphos

EU draft Commission Implementing Regulation provides that the approval of the active substance fenamiphos is not renewed in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009.

EU Member States shall withdraw authorisations for plant protection products containing fenamiphos as active substance.

The non-renewal of approval is based on the first evaluation of the substance for use as a pesticide active substance in the EU under Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009.

The substance was formerly assessed and approved under Directive 91/414/ EEC.

This decision only concerns the placing on the market of this substance and plant protection products containing it.

Following non-approval and the expiry of all grace periods for stocks of products containing this substance, separate action will likely be taken on MRLs and a separate notification will be made in accordance with SPS procedures.
