PART A
Only uses as fungicide on the following crops may be authorised:
cereals
rape seed
sugar and fodder beet
maize
at rates not exceeding
0,25 kg active substance per hectare per application for cereals and rape seed;
0,075 kg active substance per hectare per application for sugar and fodder beet
0,1 kg active substance per hectare per application for maize.
The following uses must not be authorised:
air application;
knapsack and handheld applications neither by amateur nor by professional users;
home gardening.
Member States shall ensure that all appropriate risk mitigation measures are applied. Particular attention must be paid to the protection of:
aquatic organisms. Appropriate drift mitigation measures must be applied to minimise the exposure of surface water bodies. This should include keeping a distance between treated areas and surface water bodies alone or in combination with the use of drift-reducing techniques or devices;
earthworms and other soil macro-organisms. Conditions of authorisation shall include risk mitigation measures, such as the selection of the most appropriate combination of numbers and timing of application, and, if necessary, the degree of concentration of the active substance;
birds (long term risk). Depending on the results of the risk assessment for specific uses, targeted mitigation measures to minimise the exposure may become necessary;
operators, who must wear suitable protective clothing, in particular gloves, coveralls, rubber boots and face protection or safety glasses during mixing, loading, application and cleaning of the equipment, unless the exposure to the substance is adequately precluded by the design and construction of the equipment itself or by the mounting of specific protective components on such equipment.
PART B
For the implementation of the uniform principles as referred to in Article 29(6) of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009, the conclusions of the review report on carbendazim, and in particular Appendices I and II thereof, shall be taken into account.
The Member States concerned shall request that the applicant provides the following to the Commission:
by 1 December 2011 at the latest, information as regards the toxicological and ecotoxicological relevance of the impurity AEF037197;
by 1 June 2012 at the latest, the examination of the studies included in the list in the draft re-assessment report of 16 July 2009 (Volume 1, Level 4 “Further information”, pp. 155 – 157);
by 1 June 2013 at the latest, information on the fate and behaviour (route of aerobic degradation in soil) and the long term risk to birds.’
