Original text. Later amendments are not shown.

  1. (a)

    the micro-organism is pathogenic to aquatic organisms,

  2. (b)

    in case of toxic effects due to components in the plant protection product such as relevant metabolites/toxins, the toxicity/exposure ratio is less than 100 in case of acute toxicity (EC50) to daphnia and fish and 10 for long-term/chronic toxicity to algae (EC50), daphnia (NOEC) and fish (NOEC), unless it is clearly established through an appropriate risk assessment that under field conditions no unacceptable impact on the viability of exposed species occurs — directly or indirectly — after use of the plant protection product according to the proposed conditions of use.
