The European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) launched a public consultation on the pesticide fluopyram last week, which will end on 25 November. ECHA is asking for comments on the harmonised classification and labelling (CLH) proposal of the pesticide. Germany is proposing harmonised classification for carcinogenicity and the environmental hazards for this pesticide and fungicide - notably that it can harm the aquatic environment. ECHA's Risk Assessment Committee must adopt an opinion on any CLH proposal within 18 months of its receipt, giving the parties concerned the opportunity to comment. When the RAC opinion is adopted, it will be published on ECHA's website, and ECHA will forward it and any comments to the Commission.
