2021 18 Hexaflumuron is considered a candidate for substitution in 
accordance with Article 10(1)(a)  and (d) of Regulation (EU) 
No 528/2012. 
The product assessment shall pay particular attention to the 
exposures, the risks and the efficacy linked to any uses covered by an application for authorisation, but not addressed in the 
Union level risk assessment of the active substance. 
For biocidal products, author isations are subject to the 
following conditions: 
(1) For professional users, safe operational procedures 
and appropriate organizational measures shall be 
established. Where exposure cannot be reduced to an 
acceptable level by other means, products shall be used with appropriate personal protective equipment. 
(2) As hexaflumuron is considered to be very persistent, 
very bioaccumulative and toxic, exposure of non-target animals and the environment should be 
minimised by considering and applying all 
appropriate risk mitigati on measures. These include 
the restriction to professional use only and the 
obligation to use confined bait stations. 
 
 
                                                 
1 The purity indicated in this column was the minimum degree of pu rity of the active substance used for the evaluation made in a ccordance with Article 16(2) of Directive 
98/8/EC. The active substance in the product placed on the market can be of equal or different purity if it has been proven tec hnically equivalent with the evaluated active 
substance.

Addendum  
The following communication, dated 9 October 2017, is being circulated at the request of the 
delegation of New Zealand .  
 
_______________  
 
 
TITLE: Extension of scope to  
 include cleaning products, of any surfaces, containing plastic microbeads, e.g. household, 
car or industrial cleaning products, and  
 provide an exemption for any microbead -containing medicines or medical devices for which 
there  are no suitable alternative.  
AGENCY: Ministry for the Environment  
SUMMARY: New  Zealand would like to inform WTO Members of a change made in the scope of the 
notified regulations covering microbeads:  
Managing microbeads in personal care products: Consulta tion document  (23 pages, in English)  
Cabinet paper:  http://www.mfe.govt.nz/node/23631  
Regulatory Impact Statement: http://www.mfe.govt.nz/node/23632  
Public consultation showed strong support for the proposed ban and for widening the scope to 
include all microbead -containing products that are washed down the drain.  
Consequently, the New Zealand Government has decided to implement the ban and widen the 
scope to include any cleaning products containing plastic microbeads for cleaning purposes.  
The New Zealand Government intends to publish the new regulations under the  Waste 
Minimisation Act  by 30 November 2017, with an entry -into-force date of 30 May 2018.  
COMMENTS: Comments can be sent to New  Zealand's TBT enquiry point: wto@standards.govt.nz  
and will be accepted until 31 October 2017.

Ministerial Conference 
Ninth Session 
Bali, 3-6 December 2013  Original: Spanish  
 
  STATEMENT BY H.E. MR ALVARO JANA 
VICE-MINISTER OF INTERNAT IONAL ECONOMIC RELATIONS 
CHILE 
Although we have been allocated three minutes for this statement, the points I would like to make 
will only take up a fraction of that time.  We are at a pivotal moment in the history of the WTO. As Roberto stated yesterday, never before 
in the 19 years of this Organization's existence have we been so close to creating a package 
of disciplines such as the one now within our reach.  
Chile will not accept a fragile and ineffective WTO, and we are fully prepared to defend this 
position. Theoretically, we could manage perfectly well with a weak WTO, as we are protected by the most extensive network of trade agreements in the world. We have agreements 
with 60 WTO Members, which cover 90% of our foreign trade and around 90% of world GDP. 
Nevertheless, we believe more strongly than ever in the importance of the WTO. We want a deal, 
right here, right now.  
If we do not clinch a deal, we will be endorsing a type of organization that not one of us wants. 
We do not want a WTO that has lost its rule-making capacity. Nor do we want a WTO that cannot resolve longstanding restrictions on world trade. We will not accept a WTO that is unable 
to liberalize agriculture. We do not wish to  see the WTO excluded from new international 
trade-related issues or stripped down to just its dispute settlement system. In short, we do not want the WTO to become irrelevant, which is exactly what will happen if we fail in Bali. We must 
therefore rise up to this momentous occasion! 
 Roberto, we all know that several issues have yet to be resolved. Although they are few in number, we will not reach an agreement unless solutions are found. We therefore request once 
again that you make every effort to bring the negotiations to a conclusion. We believe that the 
time has come for the Director-General to put forward possible landing zones on outstanding issues. You can count on us, Roberto!
