EU agrees on restricted renewal of etoxazole

摘要

EU member states have agreed to renew the EU approval of the acaricide, etoxazole, with a restriction that limits its use to ornamental plants in permanent greenhouses. The move represents a reprieve for the active ingredient, after a proposal in 2018 not to renew any uses did not get suicient support from member states. The ai will be renewed as a candidate for substitution and products may only be approved if no suitable, safer alternatives are available.
