1.General principles
1.8.
No authorisation shall be granted unless all the requirements referred to in point 2 are satisfied. However, when one or more of the specific decision-making requirements referred to in point 2.4 are not fully satisfied, authorisations shall be granted only where the advantages of the use of the plant protection product under the proposed conditions of use outweigh the possible adverse effects of its use. Any restrictions on use of the plant protection product relating to non-compliance with some of the requirements referred to in point 2.4 must be mentioned on the label. These advantages can be in terms of:
- (a)
advantages for and compatibility with integrated control measures or organic farming;
- (b)
facilitating strategies to minimise the risk of development of resistance;
- (c)
reduced risk for operators and consumers;
- (d)
reduced contamination of the environment and reduced impact on non-target species.
