Abstract
A review of all existing active pesticide substances placed on the European Union (EU) market was started with two pieces of legislation; Directive 91/414 EEC which covered plant protection products (PPP) and Directive 98/8/EC which covered biocides (products for non-agricultural uses). PPP and biocides are administered by different EU departments but similar procedures are followed for both types of active substances; consisting of submission of a dossier by companies to a rapporteur member country for review, followed by a joint decision made by member states and the central EU authorities.
Dossiers were submitted in support of pyrethrins for PPP and biocide uses as insecticide and repellents.
The PPP review of pyrethrins was suspended in 2010 with provisional approval for use in PPP in Europe.
The review was re-activated in November 2011 and is still in progress.
The draft assessment report for biocide use of pyrethrins was released in October 2010 and the final stage of the review is in progress.
