In addition, “in their overall assessment Member States shall pay particular attention to: the amount of active substance applied and ensure that the authorised amounts, in terms of rates and number of applications, do not exceed the minimum necessary to achieve the desired effects and do not cause any unacceptable effect on the environment taking into account background levels of copper at the application site, and, where the information is available, copper input from other sources. Member States may in particular decide to set a maximum annual application rate not exceeding 4 kg/ha of copper.

In regard to use of ethylene (see Part A, point 227, page 124) no restrictions are defined. In general the same restrictions as in the current EC 889/2008 apply.

The previous allowed maximum of 6kg copper/ha per year is removed and the stricter restrictions defined in EU 540/2011 apply.
