30 December 2017
Implementing Regulation (EU) 2017/2324 renewing the approval of the active substance glyphosate and amending the Annex to Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 540/2011 was published on 15 December 2017. The approval of glyphosate is renewed for 5 years from the 16 December 2017.
In order to take into account the conclusions of the glyphosate review report, Member States must pay particular attention to:
— the protection of the groundwater in vulnerable areas, in particular with respect to non-crop uses,
— the protection of operators and amateur users,
— the risk to terrestrial vertebrates and non-target terrestrial plants,
— the risk to diversity and abundance of non-target terrestrial arthropods and vertebrates via trophic interactions,
— compliance of pre-harvest uses with good agricultural practices.
Conditions of use shall include risk mitigation measures, where appropriate.
Member States shall ensure that use of plant protection products containing glyphosate is minimised in areas used by the general public or by vulnerable groups.
Member States shall ensure equivalence between the specifications of the technical material, as commercially manufactured, and those of the test material used in the toxicological studies.
Member States shall ensure that plant protection products containing glyphosate do not contain the co-formulant POE-tallowamine (CAS No 61791-26-2).
