EU member states approve new rules for biopesticide approval

摘要

EU member states have approved new rules to facilitate the approval of micro-organisms for use as active ingredients (ais) in crop protection products. Member states endorsed four implementing regulations that will simplify the process of approval of biopesticides under the EU agrochemical registration Regulation (1107/2009). The implementing regulations will be scrutinised by the European Parliament and the Council next. If they do not object, the regulations will be adopted and be applicable in the fourth quarter of 2022, most likely by November.
