APPENDIX XIII<br />

other substance is being assessed, then the risk assessment of the original substance must be<br />

taken into account in the risk assessment of the other substance.<br />

If the emissions can not be covered by the ESR or BPD, the rapporteur is recommended to use<br />

the available in<strong>for</strong>mation on these emissions as far as possible to carry out a risk<br />

characterisation. In the case that “further in<strong>for</strong>mation is needed” (Conclusion (i)), then, in<br />

general, it can not be the obligation of the producers or importers of the substance under<br />

examination to obtain such in<strong>for</strong>mation.<br />

For biocides, sources which include substances of natural origin or releases from other biocidal<br />

uses should be taken into account in the risk assessment. When it comes to cumulative effects of<br />

a substance used also outside the scope of the BPD (e.g. in plant protection products) <strong>and</strong> maybe<br />

regulated with another Directive there is, at the time of revision of the TGD, still a need <strong>for</strong> a<br />

common EU decision on how to h<strong>and</strong>le such cases. Exclusion of other than only biocidal uses<br />

from the assessment causes difficulties, <strong>for</strong> example, when using monitoring data or comparing<br />

measured residue data with Maximum Residue Limits.<br />
