Language of the case: Dutch
Applicant: VZW Belgisch-Luxemburgse vereniging van de industrie van plantenbescherming (Belplant), formerly VZW Belgische Vereniging van de Industrie van Plantenbeschermingsmiddelen (PHYTOFAR)
Defendant: Vlaams Gewest
Article 1(1) of Directive (EU) 2015/1535 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 9 September 2015 laying down a procedure for the provision of information in the field of technical regulations and of rules on Information Society services, read in conjunction with Article 5 thereof
must be interpreted as meaning that national legislation which prohibits persons who do not have a national authorisation intended for professionals from using pesticides containing glyphosate on land in private use is capable of constituting a ‘technical regulation’, within the meaning of Article 1(1)(d) and (f) of that directive, which must be communicated to the European Commission under Article 5 of that directive, in so far as the application of that national legislation may significantly influence the marketing of the products concerned, which is a matter for the referring court to determine.
