R4BP 3: Update on reallocation of UK biocides cases

Changes in evaluating authorities have been implemented in the biocides submission tool R4BP 3. The European Commission has assigned the active substance approval cases handled by the UK to evaluating competent authorities in other Member States, through an amendment to the Review Programme Regulation. Even though the UK’s withdrawal from the EU has been postponed, the changes needed to be implemented, as the adopted amendment applies from 30 March 2019.
