EUROPE – EFSA: Public Consultation on the draft protocol for the evaluation of emergency authorisations of fungicides and bactericides under Article 53

EFSA has launched a public consultation up to 19 January 2026 on a draft protocol for the evaluation of emergency authorisations of fungicides and bactericides submitted under Article 53 of Regulation (CE) 1107/2009.

This project is very similar to the one concerning insecticides and acaricides. For more details on the objectives and content of the protocols, we invite you to consult our previous post.

Furthermore, in order to support Member States, work has begun compiling an inventory of alternative control methods covering the pathogens (fungi, oomycetes and bacteria)most frequently encountered  in emergency authorisations within the EU.

In addition to the draft protocol, which is open for comments during the public consultation phase, EFSA has also provided two emergency authorization test cases, accompanied by literature research on available alternative methods
