It is prohibited to place on the market or use plant protection products containing propisochlor because this active substance has not been approved under Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 21 October 2009 concerning the placing of plant protection products on the market and repealing Council Directives 79/117/EEC and 91/414/EEC (
OJ L309 24.11.2009 p.1-50) pursuant to Commission Implementing Decision 2011/262/EU of 27 April 2011 concerning the non-inclusion of propisochlor in Annex I to Council Directive 91/414/EEC and amending Commission Decision 2008/941/EC (
OJ L111 30.04.2011 p.19-21).
Propisochlor has therefore been added to Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 689/2008 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 17 June 2008 concerning the export and import of dangerous chemicals (
OJ L204 31.07.2008 p.1-35) by Commission Regulation (EU) No 71/2012 of 27 January 2012 (
OJ L26 28.01.2012 p.23-25).
The results of the pesticide risk assessment of the active substance propisochlor are summarised in the conclusion on the peer review of the pesticide (EFSA Journal (
