PART A

Only uses as plant growth regulator on cereals and non edible crops may be authorised.

PART B

In assessing applications to authorise plant protection products containing chlormequat for uses other than in rye and triticale, notably as regards the exposure of consumers, Member States shall pay particular attention to the criteria in Article 4(1)(b), and shall ensure that any necessary data and information is provided before such an authorisation is granted.

For the implementation of the uniform principles of Annex VI, the conclusions of the review report on chlormequat, and in particular Appendices I and II thereof, as finalised in the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health on 23 January 2009 shall be taken into account.

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

  • the operator safety and ensure that conditions of use prescribe the application of adequate personal protective equipment;

  • the protection of birds and mammals.

Conditions of authorisation shall include risk mitigation measures, where appropriate.

The Member States concerned shall request the submission of further information on the fate and behaviour (adsorption studies to be performed at 20 °C, recalculation of the predicted concentrations in groundwater, surface water and sediment), the monitoring methods for determination of the substance in animal products and water, and the risk to aquatic organisms, birds and mammals. They shall ensure that the notifier at whose request chlormequat has been included in this Annex provide such information to the Commission by 30 November 2011 at the latest.’
