Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 24 February 2021
1048. Deputy Jackie Cahill asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine the status of notified status applications (details supplied) with the biocide control section of his Department; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [9396/21]
View answerBiocidal products may only be marketed and used in Ireland once they are registered with the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine and are entered on the Product Register in accordance with Regulation 20 of Statutory Instrument 427 of 2013.
On 13th January 2021, the Pesticide Control Division (PCD) of the Department received applications for the biocidal products mentioned.
On 26th January 2021, officials from PCD acknowledged receipt of the applications and requested further information from the applicant to allow for invoicing of the product registration fees. Applications are only processed once the relevant fees are received by PCD.
The applicant was also informed of data requirements, including technical aspects, which must be submitted for biocidal products as part of the application process. To date, the requested information has not been received and it is therefore not possible to process the applications further at this time.
