The Union level risk assessment did not address all potential uses and exposure scenarios; certain uses and exposure scenarios, such as outdoor use, use by non-professionals, and exposure of livestock were excluded. When assessing the application for authorisation of a product in accordance with Article 5 and Annex VI, Member States shall assess, where relevant for the particular product, those uses or exposure scenarios and those risks to human populations and to environmental compartments that have not been representatively addressed in the Union level risk assessment.

For products containing diflubenzuron that may lead to residues in food or feed, Member States shall verify the need to set new or to amend existing maximum residue levels (MRLs) in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 470/2009 or Regulation (EC) No 396/2005, with special consideration to the in vivo genotoxic metabolite PCA, and take any appropriate risk mitigation measures ensuring that the applicable MRLs are not exceeded.

Member States shall ensure that authorisations are subject to the following conditions unless it can be demonstrated in the application for product authorisation that the risks can be reduced to an acceptable level:

(1)

Professional users shall wear appropriate personal protective equipment.

(2)

Product information shall include the requirement that products shall only be used on dry manure, and that the manure must undergo complete aerobic composting by professionals prior to application on arable land.

(3)

Products shall not be used in water systems.’
