New dossier rules for EU ai renewals

The European Commission has issued amended rules on submitting supplementary dossiers for the second group of active ingredients going through the programme to renew EU agrochemical approvals. The changes were cleared by the EU regulatory committee in March ( Agrow No 662, p 8) and came into force on May 15th. The dossiers contain the new data required for renewals, and comprise a summary and a more detailed complete version. When the rapporteur member state completes the assessment, the applicants now have to submit the summary and complete dossiers to the European Food Safety Authority. Under the previous rules, only the summary was required.
