EU - Renewal of the Approval of the Active Substance Tolclofos-Methyl

The approval of the active substance tolclofos-methyl is renewed as set out as below:

Common Name, Identification Numbers	Tolclofos-methyl CAS No 57018-04-9 CIPAC No 479
IUPAC Name	O-2,6-dichloro-p-tolylO, O-dimethyl phosphorothioate O-2,6-dichloro-4- methylphenyl O, Odimethyl phosphorothioate
Purity*	≥ 960 g/kg The following impurity is of toxicological concern and must not exceed the following level in the technical material: Methanol max. 1 g/kg
Date of approval	September 1, 2019
Expiration of approval	August 31, 2034
Specific provisions	Only for use on ornamentals and on potatoes. For the implementation of the uniform principles, as referred to in Article 29(6) of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009, the conclusions of the renewal report on tolclofos-methyl, and in particular Appendices I and II thereof, shall be taken into account. In this overall assessment Member States shall pay particular attention to: — the risk to aquatic organisms and mammals, — the risk to consumers, in particular the potential risk from metabolite DM-TM-CH2OH in potatoes, — the risk to operators, workers and bystanders. Conditions of use shall include risk mitigation measures, where appropriate.
* Further details on identity and specification of active substance are provided in the renewal report.

The Annex to Implementing Regulation (EU) No 540/2011 is amended as follows:
