§ Andrew GeorgeTo ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs if she will list pesticides whose use in the EU has been rescinded in each of the last 10 years; and what their current status is in the UK. [101272]
§ Mr. MorleySince 1993 there has been a European wide review programme to ensure that all active substances used in plant protection products meet modern human and environmental protection standards. To date decisions have been taken to withdraw 22 pesticides. These are listed as follows along with their status within the UK.
Active Year approvals rescinded Current status in UK Acephate 2004 Not approved Azinphos-ethyl 1996 Not approved Benomyl 2003 Not approved Chlozolinate 2002 Not approved Cyhalothrin 1995 Not approved Dinoterb 1998 Not approved DNOC 2000 Not approved Fentin acetate 2002 Not approved Fentin hydroxide 2002 Not approved Fenvalerate 1999 Not approved Ferbam 1996 Not approved Lindane 2002 Not approved Metalaxyl 2004 Still approved Monolinuron 2001 Not approved Parathion-ethyl 2003 Not approved Parathion-methyl 2004 Not approved Permethrin 2003 Still approved until end 2003 Propham 1997 Not approved Pyrazophos 2001 Not approved Quintozene 2002 Not approved Tecnazene 2003 Not approved Zineb 2003 Not approved The EU review programme will result in many substances being withdrawn for commercial as well as safety reasons. By the end of 2003, about 50 per cent. of the 850 substances currently used in agricultural pesticides throughout the EU will have been withdrawn because companies did not support them. The review of the outstanding supported compounds are due to be completed by 2008.
