Only uses as insecticide or nematicide may be authorised. For the implementation of the uniform principles of Annex VI, the conclusions of the review report on fosthiazate, and in particular Appendices I and II thereof, as finalised in the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health on 4 July 2003 shall be taken into account. In this overall assessment Member States should pay particular attention to the protection of groundwater, when the active substance is applied in regions with vulnerable soil and/or climate conditions; should pay particular attention to the protection of birds and wild mammals in particular if the substance is applied during the breeding season; should pay particular attention to the protection of non-target soil organisms. Risk mitigation measures should be applied where appropriate. In order to mitigate the potential risk to small birds, product authorisations must require that a very high level of incorporation of granules into soil is achieved. The Member States shall inform the Commission in accordance with Article 13(5) on the specification of the technical material as commercially manufactured.
