  1. THE OECD WORK SHARING WORK PROGRAMME FOR BIOCIDES 57th Competent Authorities Meeting for Biocidal Products – 17-19 September 2014 Sylvie Poret - OECD Secretariat

  2. Current work programme(2013-2016) • Work Area I – Efficacy Determination • Work area II – Evaluation of other criteria than efficacy • Physical chemical properties, Persistent, bio-accumulative, toxic and long-range transport (PBT/LRT) properties, Bio-pesticides used as biocides • Work Area III – Exposure Assessment (ESDs) • Work Area IV – Work Sharing • Work Area V – Risk Reduction • Work Area VI – Monitoring Emerging Scientific and Policy Areas Reference: ENV/JM(2012)25/FINAL

  3. Why a work sharing activity in the TFB work programme? Benefits of work sharing activities: • Quality of decisions and public confidence enhanced • Scarce resources released for more refined assessment -> sounder scientific conclusions • Review time for new and existing registrations reduced –> reduction in backlog • Reduced uncertainty for industry • + Quantitative benefits

  4. Benefits per year for governments from harmonised OECD monographs for pesticides

  5. Benefits per year for industry from harmonised OECD dossiers for pesticides

  6. Work sharing possible activities [ENV/JM(2012)25/FINAL] • Work towards an easier use of national reviews • Work towards global joint reviews • Work towards harmonisation of data requirements in member countries • Develop a scheme that would allow mutual recognition of national evaluations • Facilitate the registration of biocidal bio-control agents • Develop activities on topics other than biocide risk evaluations

  7. The US proposal Proposes activities in relation to sub-activity A. “Work towards an easier use of national reviews” • Module 1  Section A. d of ENV/JM(2012)25/FINAL • Module 2  Section A. b. ii of ENV/JM(2012)25/FINAL • Module 3  Section A. b. i of ENV/JM(2012)25/FINAL
