PART A

Only uses as fungicide may be authorised.

PART B

For the implementation of the uniform principles of Annex VI, the conclusions of the review report on imazalil, and in particular Appendices I and II thereof, as finalised in the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health on 9 July 2010 shall be taken into account.

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

  • the specification of the technical material as commercially manufactured must be confirmed and supported by appropriate analytical data. The test material used in the toxicity dossiers should be compared and verified against this specification of the technical material,

  • the acute dietary exposure situation of consumers in view of future revisions of maximum residue levels,

  • the operators and workers safety. Authorised conditions of use must prescribe the application of adequate personal protective equipment and risk mitigation measures to reduce the exposure,

  • ensure that appropriate waste management practices to handle the waste solution remaining after application, such as the cleaning water of the drenching system and the discharge of the processing waste are put in place. Prevention of any accidental spillage of treatment solution. Member States permitting the release of waste water into the sewage system shall ensure that a local risk assessment is carried out,

  • risk to aquatic organisms and soil micro-organisms and long-term risk to granivorous birds and mammals. Conditions of authorisation should include risk mitigation measures, where appropriate.

The Member States concerned shall ensure that the notifier submits to the Commission further information and in particular confirmatory data on:

  • route of degradation of imazalil in soil and surface water systems,

  • environmental data to support the managing measures that Member States have to put in place to ensure that groundwater exposure is negligible,

  • a hydrolysis study to investigate the nature of residues in processed commodities.

They shall ensure that the notifier provides such information to the Commission by 31 October 2012.’
