Regulation on the non-approval of Capsicum annuum L. var. annuum, longum group, cayenne extract as a basic substance in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council concerning the placing of plant protection products on the market

This procedure concerns a formal objection to the decision not to approve cayenne extract (Capsicum annuum L.) as a basic substance for use in plant protection products. The goal is to review whether this natural extract can be safely used to protect crops from pests and diseases under EU regulations.

This affects farmers, pesticide manufacturers, and environmental regulators. A change in status would allow the use of this specific botanical extract in agricultural pest control across the EU.
