The Drafts provide that the approvals of the active substances bromoxynil and mancozeb are not renewed and, therefore, existing authorized plant protection products containing these substances will be withdrawn from the market. These decisions do not affect the Maximum Residue Levels (MRLs) for residues of these pesticides. However, following the non-approval, separate actions may be taken on the MRLs.
 
The deadline for comments is June 16, 2020.
