Member States shall ensure that malathion-based formulations are accompanied by the necessary instructions to avoid any risk of formation of isomalathion in excess of the permitted maximum quantities during storage and transport.

Where appropriate, conditions of authorisation shall include further risk mitigation measures.

The Member States concerned shall ensure that the notifier presents to the Commission:
