The approval of abamectin was not supported for GB renewal. The approval of abamectin has now expired as a pesticide active substance in GB.
The statutory approvals register has been updated to reflect this change.
There are several products authorised in GB containing abamectin, which will expire with grace periods for the sale, distribution, storage, disposal and use of existing stocks.
Details of authorised products and their grace periods can be found on the pesticides register.
The expiry of the approval of abamectin has no immediate impact on the GB Maximum Residue Levels (GB MRLs) which will remain in force unless HSE decides to take specific regulatory action; no such action is currently planned, but the GB MRLs will be reviewed and this will be based on a priority of protecting UK consumers.
