For assessment by the Sustainability Desk, you submit an application in the usual way. On the application form, state that the product – according to the criteria – qualifies for priority assessment by the Sustainability Desk.
We have no influence on planning and prioritisation by other Member States. If the Ctgb receives a draft assessment from another Member State that meets the criteria for prioritisation, the corresponding application will be processed by the Sustainability Desk.
No, for zonal applications you should always consult with the account manager first before submission to the Ctgb.
No, the fees and charges for applications processed by the Sustainability Desk are the same.
You must submit an application for exemption to the Ministry of Agriculture, Nature and Food Quality. The Ctgb always assesses an application for exemption immediately upon receipt. The Sustainability Desk plays no role in this procedure.
