6. Particular conditions to be taken into account on short term
basis by Member States in relation to the granting of authorisations
of plant protection products containing chlorothalonil
On the basis of the proposed and supported uses (as listed in Appendix
IV), the following particular issues have been identified as requiring
particular and short term attention from all Member States, in the
framework of any authorisations to be granted, varied or withdrawn, as
appropriate:
Member States must pay particular attention to the protection of:
- aquatic organisms;
- groundwater, in particular with regards to the active substance and its
metabolites R417888 and R611965 (SDS46851), when the substance is
applied in regions with vulnerable soil and/or climate conditions.
Conditions of use should include risk mitigation measures, where
appropriate.
7. List of studies to be generated
No further studies were identified which were at this stage considered
necessary in relation to the inclusion of chlorothalonil in Annex I under
the current inclusion conditions.
Some endpoints however may require the generation or submission of
additional studies to be submitted to the Member States in order to
ensure authorisations for use under certain conditions. This may
particularly be the case for
- A sublethal earthworm study with the lead formulation should be
performed by Syngenta and used as confirmatory data.
- The main notifier will submit a new study to set a new ARfD.
This study can be evaluated at a later stage because there is a safe
use with the current ArfD of 0.015 mg/kg bw/day.
