In the European Union (EU), all pesticide active ingredients undergo periodic reevaluation, as laid out in Regulation (EC) No. 1107/2009.2 This document provides an overview of active ingredients that are currently undergoing or are scheduled for the periodic active ingredient renewal in the European Union, and it is prepared based on publicly available information. It lists active ingredients that have expired or are expected to expire, as of July 31, 2025. The renewal process relates to the approval of active ingredients used in the EU market. It is lengthy and unpredictable. Only final, published Regulations are definitive. Pesticide Renewal is a separate process from MRL and Import Tolerance setting, which is governed by specific legislation. Change or removal of MRLs may take place after non-renewal has been finalized.
For additional information on the registration status and expiry dates for active ingredients that are not listed in this document, please refer to the EU pesticide database.3
For information on specific active ingredients, please consult the OpenEFSA Portal4 or contact the companies that are supporting the active ingredient through the renewal process by contacting croplife@croplife.org.
