COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) 2021/464

of 17 March 2021

concerning the non-approval of Capsicum annuum L. var. annuum, longum group, cayenne extract as a basic substance in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council concerning the placing of plant protection products on the market

(Text with EEA relevance)

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,

Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 21 October 2009 concerning the placing of plant protection products on the market and repealing Council Directives 79/117/EEC and 91/414/EEC (1), and in particular Article 23(5) in conjunction with Article 13(2) thereof,

Whereas:

| (1) | On 14 March 2018, the Commission received an application from the company Bio Natural Protect for the approval of Capsicum annuum L. var. annuum, longum group, cayenne extract as a basic substance for use as a repellent to seed-eating mammals and birds. A revised application, received on 23 May 2019, was accompanied by the information required under the second subparagraph of Article 23(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009. |
| --- | --- |

(1)

On 14 March 2018, the Commission received an application from the company Bio Natural Protect for the approval of Capsicum annuum L. var. annuum, longum group, cayenne extract as a basic substance for use as a repellent to seed-eating mammals and birds. A revised application, received on 23 May 2019, was accompanied by the information required under the second subparagraph of Article 23(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009.

| (2) | The Commission asked the European Food Safety Authority (‘the Authority’) for scientific assistance. The Authority provided the Commission with a technical report on the Capsicum annuum L. var. annuum, longum group, cayenne extract on 31 March 2020 (2). The Authority concluded that the specifications of the proposed Capsicum annuum L. var. annuum, longum group, cayenne extract, including its main active component capsaicin, were not well defined. Furthermore, according to the Authority, the fate and behaviour properties in the environment provided for some of the possible extract components, including capsaicin, were uncertain and additional studies on toxicity to all non-target species were required. The Authority noted that there was also evidence provided by companies to the European Chemicals Agency that components of the Capsicum annuum L. var. annuum, longum group, cayenne extract may have to be classified as causing serious eye damage, harmful if swallowed and also as cause of skin irritation. |
