Approval for active substance Mancozeb not extended

: Published: 11 January 2021

The authorisation for the use of the active substance Mancozeb has expired. Residual stocks must be used up by 04.01.2022.

The EU Commission has withdrawn the approval for Mancozeb (CAS no. 8018-01-7) with Regulation EU 2020/2087 with effect from 04.01.2021. The member states in which the fungicidal active ingredient from the dithiocarbmate group was used must now in turn withdraw the authorisations for crop protection preparations by 04.07.2021. Residual stocks must be used up by 04.01.2022. The maximum residue limits will presumably only be reduced to 0.01 mg/kg when the authorisation for all other dithiocarbamates has expired too.
