Approval of active substance 6-N-Benzylaminopurine
9.12.2016
Question for written answer P-009318-16
to the Commission
Rule 130
Esther Herranz García (PPE)
The EFSA has authorised the use of the active substance 6-N-Benzylaminopurine for apple and maize. However, it is not authorised for green soya (mung beans), unlike in the United States, where it is proving very useful.
If it has already been approved for apples and maize, what procedure should be followed for its use to be extended to other products, such as mung beans? Would it need to have EFSA approval?
