Brazil agchem authorities issue equivalence system demands

摘要

Brazilian agrochemical manufacturers met registration authorities earlier this month over concerns due to the backlog of pesticide registration applications in the UN FAO-compliant equivalence process. The authorities called the meeting "to clarify issues" relating to the system, which is used for registering generic pesticides. The aim was to guide companies towards the government's requirements so that registrations can be speeded up, the national health surveillance agency, the Anvisa, says.
