(3)EGTOP has also started the evaluation of substances to be authorised for cleaning and disinfection in organic production pursuant to Article 5, paragraphs (1), (2) and (3), of Implementing Regulation (EU) 2021/1165. However, the evaluation requires more time than was anticipated at the time of the adoption of Implementing Regulation (EU) 2021/1165. Due to the time needed by EGTOP to finalise its evaluation and by the Commission to adopt the lists of products for cleaning and disinfection taking into account that evaluation, Annex VII to Commission Regulation (EC) No 889/2008note should continue to apply until 31 December 2027. The provisions of Implementing Regulation (EU) 2021/1165 referring to the lists of products for cleaning and disinfection should therefore only apply from 1 January 2028.
