EUROPE – COM: Publication of a new guidance document on analytical methods
8 March 2021
The European Commission has published an update of the guidance document SANCO/13169/2010 Rev. 11 on zonal evaluation and mutual recognition, withdrawal and amendment of authorisations under Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009. This version updates the revision of July 2014. It has been finalised in the Standing Committee on Plants, Animals, Food and Feed (SCoPAFF) on 25 January 2021 and applies to all applications submitted from 01 March 2021.
This new revision now includes the procedures to be followed for applications of plant protection products authorisation according to Article 34 of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 (exemption from the submission of studies), withdrawals or amendments of an authorisation (Articles 44 and 45) and grace periods under Article 46. The procedures for placing on the market of low-risk plant protection products according to Article 47 are also described and appendices have been added.
The guidance document also highlights the importance of the zonal evaluation procedure for any application for new authorisations, which will then be subject to commenting from other Member States in the zone. Appendix 1 on the commenting requirements for each type of application has thus been updated.
Also note the ongoing implementation of the Plant Protection Products Application Management System (PPPAMS) on which the applicants are encouraged to use to submit their application (already suitable for Art. 33, Art. 40-42 and Art. 53).
