Sulfuryl fluoride (pesticide active substance)

Draft Commission Implementing Regulation amending Implementing Regulation (EU) No 540/2011 as regards the conditions of approval of the active substance sulfuryl fluoride (4 pages + Annex 2 pages, in English) .

This draft Commission Implementing Regulation provides that the approval of the active substance sulfuryl fluoride is amended as follows: Existing authorised plant protection products containing sulfuryl fluoride should be used in food business premises where internal procedures in place ensure that foodstuffs present during fumigation are marketed only where they comply with the existing maximum residue levels. Monitoring data of the atmospheric concentration of sulfuryl fluoride should be submitted every five years.

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.
