Notes

(1)

This category is mainly for active substances not currently approved in respect of the part of the United Kingdom to which the application relates. In certain cases it may also include active substances still being reviewed if toxicological endpoints have not yet been agreed and accepted in respect of that part of the United Kingdom.

(2)

This category is for active substances where toxicological endpoints have already been agreed and accepted in respect of the part of the United Kingdom to which the application relates but the residue definition has only been established for crop groups unrelated to the intended use.

(3)

This category is for active substances where relevant toxicological endpoints and residue definition have already been agreed and accepted in respect of the part of the United Kingdom to which the application relates.

Fees for multiple standalone applications for the same active substance are calculated on a modular basis with a charge applied for each crop or combination of maximum residue levels.
