This draft Commission Implementing Regulation provides that the approval of the active substance cypermethrin is renewed in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009.

Existing authorised plant protection products containing cypermethrin will be reviewed in accordance with the conditions and restrictions set in this act. The conditions and restrictions are 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 approved under Directive 91/414/EEC.

This decision only concerns the placing on the market of this substanceand does not affect the Maximum Residue Levels (MRLs) for residues of the concerned active substance. Any action on MRLs will be subject to notification under the SPS procedure.
