🇬🇧 English

This amendment to the Turkish regulation on plant protection products modifies Article 34. It adds an exemption for companies that voluntarily cancel their import license when applying for a domestic manufacturing license for the exact same active substance, at the same concentration and with identical formulation. Previously, such applicants were required to meet a specific condition that is now waived in these cases. The change aims to facilitate the transition from imported to locally manufactured plant protection products by removing bureaucratic obstacles for identical formulations. The regulation enters into force on the date of its publication.
