Cabinet Regulation No. 1056

Harmonised Risk Indicators*

[10 September 2019 / See Paragraph 33.1]

I. Hazard-based Harmonised Risk Indicator 1 Based on the Quantities of Active Substances Placed on the Market in Plant Protection Products in Accordance with Regulation No 1107/2009

1. This indicator shall be based on statistics on the quantities of active substances placed on the market in plant protection products in accordance with Regulation No 1107/2009, to be provided to the Commission (Eurostat) under Annex I (Statistics on the placing on the market of pesticides) to Regulation No 1185/2009.

2. The following general rules shall apply to the calculation of Harmonised Risk Indicator 1:

2.1. Harmonised Risk Indicator 1 shall be calculated on the basis of the categorisation of active substances into the four groups and seven categories set out in Table 1 of this Annex;

2.2. the active substances in Group 1 (categories A and B) shall be those listed in Part D of Annex to Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 540/2011 of 25 May 2011 implementing Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council as regards the list of approved active substances (hereinafter - Implementing Regulation No 540/2011);

2.3. the active substances in Group 2 (categories C and D) shall be those listed in Parts A and B of Annex to Implementing Regulation No 540/2011;

2.4. the active substances in Group 3 (categories E and F) shall be those listed in Part E of Annex to Implementing Regulation No 540/2011;

2.5. the active substances in Group 4 (category G) shall be those not approved in accordance with Regulation No 1107/2009, and therefore not listed in the Annex to Implementing Regulation No 540/2011.

3. Harmonised Risk Indicator 1 shall be calculated by multiplying the annual quantities of active substances placed on the market for each Group specified in Table 1 by the relevant hazard weighting set out in Row 6, followed by the aggregation of the results of these calculations.

4. The quantities of active substances placed on the market shall be calculated for each Group and Category in Table 1.

II. Harmonised Risk Indicator 2 Based on the Number of Authorisations Granted in Accordance with Article 53 of Regulation No 1107/2009

8. The indicator shall be based on the number of authorisations granted in accordance with Article 53 of Regulation No 1107/2009.

9. The following general rules shall apply to the calculation of Harmonised Risk Indicator 2:

9.1. Harmonised Risk Indicator 2 shall be based on the number of authorisations granted in accordance with Article 53 of Regulation No 1107/2009. Harmonised Risk Indicator 2 shall be calculated on the basis of the categorisation of active substances into the four groups and seven categories set out in Table 2 of this Annex;

9.2. the active substances in Group 2 (categories C and D) are those listed in Parts A and B of Annex to Implementing Regulation No 540/2011;

9.3. the active substances in Group 4 (category G) shall be those which have not been approved in accordance with Regulation No 1107/2009 and are not listed in Annex to Implementing Regulation No 540/2011.

10. Harmonised Risk Indicator 2 shall be calculated by multiplying the number of authorisations granted for plant protection products in accordance with Article 53 of Regulation No 1107/2009 for each Group in Table 2 by the relevant hazard weighting set out in Row 6, followed by the aggregation of the results of these calculations.
