#32026R1120EU adds twelve banned co-formulants for plant protection products
AI-generated summary for informational purposes only. Not legal advice. See the original source for the authoritative text.
This regulation adds twelve substances to the EU list of co-formulants that cannot be used in plant protection products. Co-formulants are supporting ingredients in products such as pesticides, but they are not the active pest-control substance. The change affects pesticide manufacturers, importers, distributors, farmers, and national regulators. Companies will need to check product formulas and authorisations to make sure these substances are not included in products placed on the EU market.
