"Biocides are active substances and preparations which contain one or more active substances in the form in which they reach the user, with the intention of destroying, deterring, rendering harmless, preventing the action of, or otherwise exerting a controlling effect on harmful organisms by chemical or biological means. This definition is clearly stated in the corresponding European directive. Biocidal products are used in a great variety of areas and applications – for example, as wood preservatives. The European Biocidal Products Directive therefore distinguishes between 23 product types in four main groups (disinfectants and general biocidal products; preservatives; pest control; other biocidal products). Since 2009, biocidal products have been subject to an authorisation and registration procedure which takes place nationally in the individual Member States and which is based on an assessment by the authorities of their efficacy and their risks to humans, animals and the environment. Inadequate efficacy and unacceptable effects should thereby be avoided when the products are used as intended. Authorisation of a biocidal product also includes binding instructions as regards labelling and, where appropriate, directions for use. Where this report is concerned, I spoke in favour of the amendments to the original draft because I consider it important that the active substances that will be subject to a simplified authorisation procedure are now listed in the annex to the regulation."@en1
