Drops on fipronil and two other substances (thiamethoxam and pyriproxyfen).

Thiamethoxam shares the same mode of action with a similar toxicity profile.

The total mass, in tonnes, of Class 12 pesticides sold or transferred that contained imidacloprid and of Class 12 pesticides treated with a pesticide that contained imidacloprid.

Imidacloprid and thiamethoxam were detected in over one half of the samples.

Clothianidin shares the same mode of action with a similar toxicity profile.

It is therefore appropriate to extend the inclusion of thiamethoxam in Annex I to that Directive to product-type 18.

In view of residues of clothianidin caused by the use of thiamethoxam, it is also necessary to modify the MRL for clothianidin on carrots.

Imidacloprid is an insecticide that is widely used in Canada on a variety of crops.

A synergistic pesticidal composition including a Spinosyn and thiamethoxam is used to control cutworms.

In order to protect pollinators, Health Canada is cancelling the following uses of thiamethoxam:

Member States should be provided with time to withdraw authorisations for plant protection products containing clothianidin, thiamethoxam or imidacloprid.

In order to protect pollinators, Health Canada is proposing to phase out the following uses of imidacloprid:

According to Syngenta, those errors had a direct impact on the outcome of the risk assessment concerning thiamethoxam.

Seeds treated with plant protection products containing clothianidin, thiametoxam or imidacloprid whose use and placing on the market is prohibited

These pesticides (clothianidin, imidacloprid and thiametoxam) were identified as being harmful to Europe’s honeybee population.
