Sažetak
A Commission proposal to establish an EU list of 77 candidates for substitution was endorsed by EU Member State experts. Candidates for substitution are pesticides for which national authorities need to carry out an assessment to establish whether more favourable alternatives to using the plant protection product exist, including non-chemical methods. The aim is to encourage more sustainable crop protection. The list is based on an independent study tasked by the European Commission. The study contains a comprehensive analysis of all active substance on the market on 31 January 2013. The list is neither to be misconstrued as a list of banned substances, nor as a ranking of Candidates for substitution. All active substances featuring on the list will still be available on the market and are deemed safe, but could be substituted in time when a viable alternative is made available. Approval periods for candidates for substitution are limited to a maximum of 7 years. The approval may be renewed once or more for periods not exceeding 7 years.
