For the implementation of the uniform principles, as referred to in Article 29(6) of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009, the conclusions of the renewal report on Abamectin, and in particular Appendices I and II thereto, shall be taken into account. In this overall assessment Member States shall pay particular attention to: — the protection of operators and workers, ensuring that conditions of use include the application of adequate personal protective equipment, such as the the use of gloves; — The effect of photolysis on the levels of pesticide residues in crops. Particular attention is required to ensure that available residue trials on crops reflect the most critical residue situation. Where appropriate, depending on the zone, seasonal restrictions for the timing of application shall be applied (cf. representative uses excluded application from November till February).’ ( 1 ) Further details on the identity and the specification of the active substance are provided in the renewal report.
