EU: Withdrawal of Pesticides

The European Commission notified the World Trade Organization of two drafts concerning the non-renewal of approval of the active substance quinoxyfen and etoxazole, 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, and amending Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 540/2011.

These draft Commission Implementing Regulations provide that the approval of the active substance quinoxyfen and etoxazole are not renewed and, therefore, existing authorized plant protection products containing quinoxyfen and etoxazole will be withdrawn from the market.

These decisions do not affect the Maximum Residue Levels (MRLs) for residues of the concerned pesticides. However, following non-approval, separate action may be taken on MRLs.
