EUROPE: AIR 4 Working Documents Release

Published by Karine Mavet at 28 November 2016

The EU Commission has released 2 working documents regarding AIR 4 renewal programme:

SANTE-2016-10616–rev 4 (October 2016)

This new revision replaces Revision 3 dated July 2016. This document provides an overview of indicative submission dates for supplementary dossiers for the renewal of AIR 4 active substances.

To be noted: the 2 active substances tetraconazole and malathion moved from Group 3 (“substances that may fail to satisfy the approval criteria“) to Group 4.1 (substances with expiry dates postponed by two years), which means they will receive 2 years of extension before going through the normal renewal process.
