In the proposal notified in G/SPS/N/EU/384 (24 April 2020) the description of content should read:  
This draft Commission Implementing Regulation provides that the approval of the active substance 
mancozeb is not renewed in accord ance with Regulation (EC)  No 1107/2009. Existing authorisations 
of plant protection products containing mancozeb will be withdrawn and such products can then no 
longer be placed on the market. The non -renewal of the approval is based on a scientific assess ment

Union and the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) . 
This decision only concerns the placing on the market of this substance and plant protection products
