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 78(2) thereof,

The approval of the active substance gamma-cyhalothrin expired on 31 March 2025 while the approval of the active substance ipconazole was withdrawn with Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2023/939 (3) and the approval of the active substance oxamyl was not renewed with Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2023/741 (4).
