PART A Only uses as insecticide may be authorised.

PART B For the implementation of the uniform principles as referred to in Article 29(6) of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009, the conclusions of the review report on bifenthrin, and in particular Appendices I and II thereof, as finalised in the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health on 1 June 2012 shall be taken into account.
In this overall assessment Member States shall pay particular attention to:

((a)) the persistency in the environment;
((b)) the risk for bioaccumulation and biomagnification;
((c)) the protection of operators and workers, ensuring that conditions of use include the application of adequate personal protective equipment, where appropriate;
((d)) the risk to aquatic organisms, in particular fish and invertebrates, non-target arthropods and bees, ensuring that conditions of authorisation include risk mitigation measures, where appropriate.
The applicant shall submit confirmatory information as regards:

((1)) the residual toxicity for non-target arthropods and the potential for recolonisation;
((2)) the fate and behaviour of soil metabolite 4'-OH bifenthrin;
((3)) the degradation in soil of the isomers which constitute bifenthrin, 4'-OH bifenthrin and TFP acid.
The applicant shall submit to the Commission, the Member States and the Authority the information set out in points 1, 2 and 3 by 31 July 2014.
The applicant shall present to the Commission, the Member States and the Authority a monitoring programme to assess the potential for bioaccumulation and biomagnification in the aquatic and terrestrial environment by 31 July 2013. The results of that monitoring programme shall be submitted as a monitoring report to the rapporteur Member State, the Commission and the Authority by 31 July 2015.
