PART A

Only uses as insecticide may be authorised.

PART B

For the implementation of the uniform principles of Annex VI the conclusions of the review report on azadirachtin, and in particular Appendices I and II thereof, as finalised in the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health on 11 March 2011, shall be taken into account.

In this overall assessment Member States shall pay particular attention to:

  • the dietary exposure of consumers in view of future revisions of Maximum Residue Levels,

  • the protection of non-target arthropods and aquatic organisms. Risk mitigation measures shall be applied where appropriate.

The Member States concerned shall request the submission of confirmatory information as regards:

  • the relationship between azadirachtin A and the rest of the active components in the neem seeds extract with respect to amount, biological activity and persistence, in order to confirm the lead active compound approach with regard to azadirachtin A and to confirm specification of the technical material, residue definition and groundwater risk assessment.

The Member States concerned shall ensure that the applicant submits such information to the Commission by 31 December 2013.’
