The approval of the insecticide active substance methoxyfenozide, as a candidate for substitution, is proposed to be renewed by the European Commission. <\/p>\n
The Commission proposes that methoxyfenozide could only be authorized to use on fruiting vegetables of solanaceae in greenhouse.<\/p>\n
And the EU Member States shall pay particular attention to: <\/p>\n
– the protection of groundwater when the substance is applied in regions with vulnerable soil and\/or climate conditions;
\n– the risk of accumulation in soil;
\n– the protection of non-target arthropods, sediment dwelling and aquatic organisms. <\/p>\n
Conditions of use shall include risk mitigation measures, where appropriate. <\/p>\n
The applicant shall submit to the Commission, the Member States and the Authority confirmatory information as regards: <\/p>\n
1. a comparative in vitro metabolism study on methoxyfenozide, by 1 February 2020; <\/p>\n
2. the effect of water treatment processes on the nature of residues present in surface and groundwater, when surface water or groundwater is abstracted for drinking water, within 2 years after adoption of a guidance document on evaluation of the effect of water treatment processes on the nature of residues present in surface and groundwater; <\/p>\n
3. the endocrine disrupting potential of methoxyfenozide as regards the thyroid modality\/pathway, providing in particular mechanistic data to clarify in accordance with Points 3,6,5 and 3,8,2 of Annex II of Regulation (EC) No 1107\/2009, as amended by Commission Regulation (EU) 2018\/6052 , whether there is a thyroid endocrine disrupting mode of action, by 10 November 2020.<\/p>\n
