Statute overview

About this statute

The rule restricts import, sale, use, and labeling of certain biocidal bottom paints, with exceptions for approved products and some boat/location cases. Penalty can increase to imprisonment for up to 2 years if the offence is intentional or grossly negligent and causes, or risks causing, harm to people, animals, or the environment, or is aimed at an economic benefit. Legal persons may also be held criminally liable. The regulation enters into force on 1 January 2021, and older rules continue for certain biocide-containing antifouling paint already on the market at that time.
