FRANCE: Update of the explanatory note and of the application cerfa form!

Published by Émilie Vianay at 16 August 2018

ANSES has updated the general note for the submission of applications. It introduces the second version of the explanatory note No. 52173 and of the application cerfa form No. 15722. The previous version was dated from July 2017.

Note that a special version of the cerfa has been created to easily fill in the PDF form.

The main changes of this second version of the explanatory note No. 52173 are as follows:

– In the GAP table, new concept for greenhouse uses:

G = Greenhouse (greenhouse / tunnel) to decline according to G1: tunnel or shelter not permeable to water, closed at the time of treatment; permanent greenhouse, soil-bound crops; G2: tunnel or shelter not permeable to water, closed at the time of treatment; permanent greenhouse, above soil-less crops (EFSA Guidance Document for protected crops – EFSA Journal 2014;12(3):3615)

– The term “Mention Abeille” (“Bee Claim”) disappears in favor of “exemption under the Order of November 28, 2003” (in French)

– The notion of “significant composition change” is introduced. It is assimilated to a new application for approval by the standard procedure (Article 33 of Regulation (EC) No. 1107/2009) or by the mutual recognition procedure (Article 40 of Regulation (EC) No. 1107/2009)

The main changes of this second version of cerfa form No. 15722 are as follows:
