Unitatea 5. Abordări și proceduri pentru legislația privind pesticidele în Uniunea Europeană.

This is a presentation, called Approaches and Procedures for Legislation of Pesticides in the European Union. In principle, active substances are licensed for use at EU level, as different formulations, suitable for use on different cultivations and in different geographical areas of EU. Protection of agricultural workers, of consumers, of the environment are included into the authorisation procedure. The increased awareness of the potential threats of uncontrolled use of substances of poorly known toxicity have led to an improved legislation as the licensed pesticides are among the chemical substances, of which the toxicological properties, are best known. Presented are graphically, the general pathway and procedure for selection and development in industrial research, which is leading to authorisation in the Eu of the new active substances as plant protection products.
