EU seek for non-renewal of benfluralin as active substance European Commission proposes 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. 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. Products covered : Benfluralin (pesticide active substance) HS Code:3808 Proposed date of adoption:3rd quarter 2020. Proposed date of entry into force:20 days following publication in the Official Journal of the EU Final date for comments:60 days from notification |
