Overview

Cooperation between experts involved in biological efficacy
New format for the dRR template

Zonal level increase the complexity of dossiers and the evaluation
process
Need for a clear understanding of the intended uses (GAP) Between member states Including the major/minor uses
To avoid inconsistencies between the GAP tables of the different sections of the dRR, the content of the dossier and the national application form

1/4Issues with dossiers submitted and recommandations
Issues with dossiers submitted and recommandations
Efficacy trials : Do the data (or the rationale) support all the intended
uses ?
Justify the absence of data : e.g. to propose extrapolation
Quantity is not quality : dRR should be more concise and standalone document Data not sufficiently summarized : put together ≠ sum up National addenda should be justified : specific use or
specific practices

Issues with dossiers submitted and recommandations
In case of re-registration dossiers:
In principle, all uses are re-registrations
But if it is not this case, e.g. new use in zRMS then information should be given to zRMS : cMS where the product is registered
zRMS is not able to conclude for the whole zone if the information is missing

Zones and dossiers: Dossiers should be adapted to each regulatory zone. Trials should be distributed in the whole regulatory zone. EPPO climatic zone is not always the best solution to
sumarize trials (France is cut in two EPPO zone)

To justify the distribution of trials
within the zone
4/4Issues with dossiers submitted and recommandations
Zonal evaluation avoids duplication of work : As cMS, we are able to rely on the RR produced
by other MS Save time and workload
Since June 2011 : Clear improvement of the quality of dRR received from
applicants Clear trend in reduction of « national requirements » in
the evaluation

1/3Cooperation between experts involved in biological efficacy
Cooperation between experts involved in biological efficacy
Exchanges on technical issues/interpretations should be improved between experts of MS of the southern zone
Currently, the most common ‘exchange’ : By commenting tables on dRR (zonal evaluation)
To share and to improve evaluation Transparency for MS and applicant
Proposal by Anses to organise a face to face meeting between experts of the southern zone involved in biological efficacy in 2015
ECCA & ECPA – Crop Protection European Regulatory Conference - Efficacy Pre-conference Workshop Brussels - 11 March 2015

2/3
Some Items for discussion in the face to face meeting e.g.:
Minimum effective dose : need to be justified ?
Distribution of trials / trial grouping
Relation between GAP, conditions of trials, acceptability of deviation
Trials : need for criteria to consider the trials valid or invalid ?

This work is a real way to share opinions of EU efficacy experts and to improve the cooperation between MS
This new format should avoid duplication of work for MS and applicants and save time
Leader of the Working group: BVL (Germany)

Some outcomes
MS approaches when transforming a dRR into a RR: Deleting / rewriting Use of commenting boxes The chosen option(s) should be explained at the beginning
of the RR
Use of summary tables as much as possible, instead of text: in the template, examples of tables (with possibilities of
modification) are proposed
ECCA & ECPA – Crop Protection European Regulatory Conference - Efficacy Pre-conference Workshop Brussels - 11 March 2015
13/17
Conclusion
Issues with dossiers submitted and recommandation
Avoid overall dossiers for all zones
Importance of adapting the dossier to the regulatory zone concerned
Clear improvement of the quality of dRR received from applicants
Still need to reduce the size of dRR (without reducing the quality)
ECCA & ECPA – Crop Protection European Regulatory Conference - Efficacy Pre-conference Workshop Brussels - 11 March 2015
14/17
Conclusion
Cooperation in the Southern zone
So far : main exchanges by commenting tables on dRR
Need to improve communication and have face to face meeting between efficacy evaluators of the southern zone: To share experiences To discuss and solve remaining technical open points
ECCA & ECPA – Crop Protection European Regulatory Conference - Efficacy Pre-conference Workshop Brussels - 11 March 2015
15/17
Conclusion
dRR template : A real way to share opinions of EU efficacy evaluators An exemplary democratic process: With its advantages: a collective document with high
quality And its defects:
3 years of work An infinity of comments in an infinity of round trip of comments
tables Always new comments of the same members of subgroup,
despite the accepted modifications and a face to face meeting …☺
Next step planned: validation of the template to SCOPAFF
