Policy decree on implementation of Article 44 of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 regarding structural exceedances of the authorisation criterion in surface water Ctgb 2024

The Ctgb assesses whether the use of a plant protection product for which an authorisation is applied for does not lead to unacceptable effects on such aquatic organisms. For this purpose the Ctgb uses the authorisation standards for surface water, in accordance with applicable European regulations and guidelines. In the Pesticides Atlas, the most stringent relevant authorisation standard is referred to as the authorisation criterion.

The Ctgb may review an authorisation under Article 44 of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 if there are indications that the authorisation requirements are no longer met. Monitoring data indicating exceedances of the authorisation criterion may be such an indication if it is plausible that these exceedances result from the authorised use of authorised plant protection products in accordance with the legal conditions for use.

The Policy decree on implementation of Article 44 of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 regarding structural exceedances of the authorisation criterion in surface water Ctgb 2024 is published november 5, 2024 in de Government Gazette - Staatscourant 2014 35861.
