Summary of the final regulatory action:

EPTC is not registered as plant protection product in the country. By the Ministry of Agriculture, production and import of EPTC were banned in 2009 and its use was banned in 2011.
The general framework for the prohibition and restriction of plant protection products, including pesticides, for the purpose of protecting human health and the environment is determined by the Veterinary Services, Plant Health, Food and Feed Law.
According to the By-law on Licensing and Placing on the Market of Plant Protection Products enforced in accordance with above-mentioned Law, it is forbidden to manufacture, use and placing on the market of unlicensed plant protection products within the borders of the country.
In this context, in order to protect human health and the environment the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry prohibits hazardous active substances used in plant protection products. The prohibition process is done by not granting a license to hazardous active substances for manufacture, use and placing on the market or canceling the existing license.
Once the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry prohibits a hazardous active substance, all Provincial Directorates of the Ministry, importers and manufacturers are informed by Ministerial Circulars.
