ANNEX III

DESCRIPTIONS

A plant protection product is a product in the form in which it is supplied to the user, consisting of or containing active substances, safeners or synergists, and is intended for one of the uses described in Article 2(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009.

Active substances: means active substances as referred to in Article 2(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009.

Placing on the market: means placing on the market as defined in point 9 of Article 3 of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009.

Crops: means agricultural crops, as described in Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2023/1538 (1).

Classification of active substances included in the plant protection products: aggregation of active substances by major groups, categories of products and chemical classes.

Harvest year: The calendar year in which the harvest begins, including the period during which all preparatory measures (such as tilling, planting, and applying fertilisers and plant protection products) are taken to secure that harvest, also during the preceding calendar year.
