2/17/2017 Jumpstart and EU fertilizers regulation Novozymes position on EU Fertilizers Regulation: Three priorities TODAY With Fertilizers Regulation? 1. Product approval: Allow Farmer to Access Innovative Products Faster The proposed positive list considers only 4 biostimulant microorganisms, but hundreds or even thousands are already on the market or Jumpstart registration under development. The process for adding new microorganisms slows down innovation significantly and discourages investments in In each EU MS* (up to 28) Once for all 28 EU MS identifying and selecting new microorganisms. If the updating of the list is based on publicly available data, then it will never contain the requirements most innovative products because of the time lag between discoveries and publication of peer-reviewed scientific literature. 2. Parallel Status: Taking into account the specificity of nature’s work tools Focusing on label claims and functions of specific products. Many components have different uses that are often the function of Jumpstart regulatory the application methods, formulations, or use rates. Unclear in many EU MS Same rules for all 28 EU MS compliance, rules for 3. IPR and data confidentiality: Better protection for state-of-the-art innovation market access Once microorganisms are included in the positive list, they could be used by anyone. That creates unfair conditions for competition where a company that invests in R&D is forced to share it with companies that have not made the same investment, without fair compensation. This provides a disincentive to innovate. Companies need a pathway to demonstrate that a newly identified and selected microorganism (or consortium) is safe and effective, without undermining existing protections for trade secrets and data confidentiality. Jumpstart IP protection Differs from EU MS to MS Same rules for all 28 EU MS * EU MS = EU Member State 9 3
