Draft Commission Implementing Regulation concerning the non-approval of the active substance beta-cypermethrin, 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 (4 pages, in English)

This draft Commission Implementing Regulation provides that the active substance beta-cypermethrin is not approved in accordance with Regulation 1107/2009 and cannot be placed on the market in plant protection products in the EU. The substance is not currently authorized in plant protection products in the EU; the non-approval is based on the first evaluation of the substance for use as a pesticide active substance in the EU under Regulation 1107/2009.

This decision only concerns the placing on the market of this substance and does not affect the Maximum Residue Levels (MRLs) for residues of the concerned pesticide. However, following non-approval, separate action may be taken on MRLs, if necessary, and if so a separate notification will be made in accordance with SPS procedures.
