Important information regarding EU plant protection product approvals
The European Commission (EC) has recently issued notifications of the change of plant protection product (PPPs) approval status within the European Union (UE). Of particular interest is the non-renewal of approval of 2 key PPPs: benalaxyl and fenamiphos.This news also provides a review of all PPP approval changes introduced to-date in 2020.MRL CHANGES FOLLOWING NON-RENEWAL OF THESE ACTIVE SUBSTANCES
Following non-renewal of EU authorizations and the expiry of all grace periods, the maximum residue levels (MRLs) are generally lowered to the limit of determination (LOD): 0.01 mg/kg. In most cases this will mean that these substances can no longer be used on crops for export to the EU. Decisions on the new MRLs will be taken at forthcoming meetings of the European Commission Standing Committee on Plants, Animals, Food and Feed.Considering the extensive use of these 2 substances in ACP horticulture, growers are advised to start looking for alternatives as soon as possible. It you have any major concern about these changes, and fear that you will be left without an effective and available alternative, please contact COLEACP at: network@coleacp.org(link sends e-mail). NON-RENEWAL OF FENAMIPHOS
