This draft Commission Implementing Regulation provides that the approval of the active substance metconazole is renewed in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009. It is, however, necessary to include certain conditions and restrictions including in particular a restriction to use only by professional users.Existing authorised plant protection products containing metconazole will be reviewed in accordance with the conditions and restrictions set in this act. The outcome of the assessment is based on the first evaluation of the substance for use as a pesticide active substance in the EU under Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009. The substance was formerly approved under Directive 91/414/EEC.This decision only concerns the placing on the market of this substance and does not affect the Maximum Residue Levels (MRLs) for residues of the concerned active substance. Any action on MRLs will be subject to notification under the SPS procedure.
