- European
Commission: Thiazafluron
is one of 320
pesticides to be withdrawn in July
2003. "Some 320 substances
used in plant protection products (PPPs) Ð including insecticides,
fungicides and herbicides Ð are to be withdrawn from the market
by 25 July 2003 as part of the European Commission's new approach
to the evaluation of active substances in plant protection products.
This aims to improve safeguards to ensure that all such products
in use are safe for the environment and human health. Users,
wholesalers and retailers of plant protection products will
need to be aware of whether the products they use or sell are
likely to be withdrawn, so as to prevent them being left with
stocks of unusable material. Those concerned should contact
their national authority to check the authorisation status for
any particular product. The Regulation (n¡ 2076/2002 of 20 November
2002), with the list of the 320 substances, has now been published
in the Offical Journal. Ref: MIDDAY EXPRESS. News from the Press
and Communication Service's midday briefing. |
