EUROPE: Presentation of criteria to identify endocrine disruptors
17 June 2016FRANCE: E-phy Open data are online
30 June 2016As announced in February 2016, Anses had engaged a review of the marketing authorisations of plant protection products containing glyphosate and POE-tallowamine. As unacceptable risks, mainly to human health, cannot be ruled out for these products, the conditions laid down in Article 29 of the Regulation (EC) No.1107/2009 are not verified.
As provided for in the European procedure, in April 2016, ANSES informed approval holders of glyphosate-based products containing POE-tallowamine of its intention to withdraw them from the market.
At the end of the adversarial procedure period, and after having examined the observations of the approval holders, the Agency withdrew on 20 June 2016 the marketing authorisations for 132 products from the French market.
