2010-10-26

Ireland, a member state of EU, will evaluate the Germicide Diphenylamine again because of the United Phosphorus Ine’s application for registration. This Germicide can prevent apple tree and pear tree leaf spot disease. But there are many problems about its registration, such as lacking of the needed data. So, EU decided not to approve its re-registration in 2009 and took plan to phase out of Germicide Diphenylamine, and exhaust all stock before May 30th, 2011. But most member states of EU did not support this decision. In order to support this Germicide, they form combinations for exploitation of data. And this time United Phosphorus Ine applied the registration again as the representative of combination.

CAN suggests that in order to prevent and treat Phakopsora pachyrhizi which is becoming even more violent in Brazil, there is an urgent demands for new pesticides. While, there are only few products which can treat this kind of disease now. The procedure of new products coming into the  market has been delayed as the efficiency of agriculture department in Brazil (ANVISA) is low.

Since 2001, Phakopsora pachyrhizi outbroken in Brazil, the government approve lots of products to protect this disease. With the fast spread and increasing resistance, the efficiency of these products is reducing. While ANVISA issued more rigid limitation policy which is called as “90 Days Quarantine Period”. This policy claims that there is a 90-days fallow period from reaping to the next seeding.

ANDEF responds to CAN and appeals that the government should show a green light for the products which have special efficiency on Phakopsora pachyrhizi. And it also announced both short of efficient products and the perverse policy of “90-Days Fallow Period” caused the disease fast spreading.
