Biocidal products for non-agricultural uses: common rules for national authorisations

During its debates, the European Parliament called for common principles for evaluating dossiers to be established as soon as possible and included in the main proposal in the form of an annex. The Council was of the same opinion. The Commission's amended proposal thus included a new Annex VI setting out the common principles. It referred to the annex in a new recital, which stated that common rules should be established to assess biocidal products in order to guarantee a harmonised approach in the Member States. �
