AI-generated summary for informational purposes only. Not legal advice. See the original source for the authoritative text.
This regulation renews the EU approval of the fungicide pyrimethanil for 15 years from 1 May 2026 until 30 April 2041. It sets strict limits on toxicologically relevant impurities in the technical material: cyanamide ≤ 0.5 g/kg, aniline ≤ 4 g/kg, and acetylacetone ≤ 0.1 g/kg. Member States must pay particular attention to operator, bystander, resident, aquatic organism, bee and pollinator protection, requiring personal protective equipment and risk mitigation measures where necessary. Confirmatory data on metabolite toxicity, soil degradation and drinking water treatment effects must be submitted by the applicant.
