Amoéba: update of the regulatory application calendar.
Chassieu (France), December 14th, 2021 - 5:45 p.m. - AMOÉBA (FR0011051598 - ALMIB), producer of a biological biocide capable of eliminating bacterial risk in water and human wounds, and of a biocontrol product for plant protection, still in the development phase, is updating the calendar for the regulatory applications currently under evaluation.
Biocide application (active substance: viable Willaertia magna C2c Maky)
- Europe: The Maltese authority has committed to submit the active substance assessment report to the company by March 31st, 2022 (see Press Release of November 15th, 2021).
- United States: The application for registration of the active substance and biocidal products containing the substance, submitted in 2021 (see Press Release of April 6th, 2021) is under "in- depth review", last stage of the evaluation, which is followed by an administrative phase. The Environmental Protection Agency (US EPA) should legally issue its decision before the end of June 2022.
- Canada: The application for registration of the active substance and biocidal products containing it, submitted in 2019 (see Press Release of February 1st, 2019), is still under evaluation. The Company estimated that the evaluation would be completed by the end of 2021, but the Pest Management Regulatory Agency (PMRA) has not yet committed to a completion date. As soon as this date is known, the Company will communicate the information by Press Release.
Biocontrol application (active substance: lysate of Willaertia magna C2c Maky)
- Europe: The application for approval of the active substance, submitted in 2020 (see Press Release of May 29, 2020), is currently being evaluated by the Austrian authority (AGES). In July 2021, AGES informed the Company that the assessment report should be finalized by the end of 2021. On December 14th, 2021, AGES informed Amoéba that, in particular due to the health situation, the evaluation should be finalized by the end of March 2022.
- United States: The application for registration of the active substance and a product containing it, submitted in 2020 (see Press Release of October 1st, 2020), is under "in-depth review", last final stage of the evaluation. The Environmental Protection Agency (US EPA) should legally issue its decision before the end of May 2022.
- Brazil: several experimental permits were obtained in 2021, allowing the Company to initiate field trials on soybean, coffee and banana. Such trials in Brazil are required for an application for approval, which the Company plans to submit to the Brazilian Ministry of Agriculture in 2023.
