Collection of information<br />
A small team formed by ACTA <strong>and</strong> IBMA conducted a survey on <strong>biological</strong> active substances<br />
approved in the European Union <strong>and</strong> on Biological Control Products (BC products) authorised in<br />
five European countries. The investigation focused on crops covered by ENDURE RA1case studies.<br />
The frame of the present survey was defined in a meeting on 9 th January 2009 in Basle, <strong>and</strong> the<br />
work was performed during the period from April to September 2009.<br />
To compile a list of registered bio<strong>control</strong> products, the online EU Pesticides Database was<br />
consulted on 21 st April 2009. Data were retrieved <strong>and</strong> the list was reorganised <strong>and</strong> the information<br />
about use categories complemented with the help of the inclusion directives where necessary.<br />
Substances deemed suitable for bio<strong>control</strong> were identified <strong>and</strong> it was decided to distinguish four<br />
major groups: micro-organisms, semiochemicals (attractants), botanicals <strong>and</strong> "other plant protection<br />
substances of natural origin".<br />
This study was complemented by an analysis of specific uses of products commercialized in<br />
four countries of the EU (France, Germany, Spain <strong>and</strong> the United Kingdom). A fifth country,<br />
Switzerl<strong>and</strong> was included in the study for comparison, because it has not been restricted by the<br />
implementation of Directive 91/414/EEC (superceded in June 2011 by EC regulation No<br />
1107/2011) until recently. For each country, official national online databases on authorised plant<br />
protection products (Table 10) were screened for authorised bio<strong>control</strong> active substances:<br />
