FRANCE: Report on biocontrol products
30 April 2017
The Decree of 12 April 2017 fixing the fees paid to Anses was published in the French Official Journal of 29 April 2017.
The text enters into force on 01 July 2017. It repeals the Decree of 16 April 2012 and aims at setting fees for new categories of applications and to review existing fees.
On overall low-risk and biocontrol products are promoted to the detriment of ‘conventional’ products, and products containing candidates for substitution are highly taxed.
It may be noted that the renewal fee for approval of an active substance, safener or synergist which was EUR 100 000 is increased to EUR 200 000.
The fee for an application for approval for a ‘conventional’ product increases from EUR 40 000 to EUR 50 000, and EUR 65 000 if the product contains a candidate for substitution. The renewal fees also increase to EUR 60 000 for a ‘conventional’ product and to EUR 75 000 for a product containing a candidate for substitution.
The fee for an application for mutual recognition increases from EUR 12-15 000 to EUR 30 000, and 40 000 Euros if the product contains a candidate for substitution.
Fees for low-risk products remain at the same level as previously: EUR 40 000 for the approval of the low-risk active substance and EUR 2 000 for the authorisation of a product.
The fee for biocontrol products as defined by Article L. 253-6 (2) of French Rural Code that do not contain substances from plant origin chemically modified or from animal or mineral origin is the same as for low-risk products (EUR 2 000).
A special fee for biocontrol products that contain substances from plant origin chemically modified or from animal or mineral origin has been created: EUR 25 000.
