These drafts provide that the approval of the active substances thiophanate-methyl and desmedipham are not renewed and, therefore, existing authorized plant protection products containing thiophanate-methyl and desmedipham will be withdrawn from the market. This decision does not affect the Maximum Residue Levels (MRLs) for residues of the concerned pesticides. However, following non-approval, separate actions may be taken on MRLs.
The final dates for comments are April 27, 2019, for desmedipham and April 29, 2019, for thiophanate-methyl.
