The Render Project - third stage of the work programme of Directive 91/414/EEC

摘要

Defined by Regulation (EC) No 451/2000, the Render* Project examined notifications for existing active substances to be reviewed in the EU programme of work. A notification procedure was applied for the EU review programme which was fully electronic and highly approved by the notifiers. Of the 419 existing active substances, 60% were not notified at all, i.e. will be excluded from the ongoing work programme and finally, 167 active substances were considered for evaluation, corresponding to 229 notifications. As a result of the Render Project the next steps of the review programme will proceed more effeciently by focussing only on those active substances which will be supported. Furthermore, a big step in respect to the harmonisation of authorisations within the EU is done, because active substances not notified for the third stage will be withdrawn from the market by July 2003 at the latest.
