Implementing the new EU pesticide regulation

摘要

In the journal 'Crop Protection Monthly", regulatory specialists JSC (www.jsci.co.uk) are updating readers on important regulatory matters as they develop world-wide. UK-based JSC offers a portfolio of services to help companies register plant protection products, with a primary focus on Europe. The company has brought together a team of scientists who maintain a close involvement in the regulatory process through a network of contacts in the European Commission and member state regulatory authorities. In the May edition, JSC regulatory expert Peter Chapman, formerly of the UK's regulatory authority, PSD, gave readers an overview of some of the papers presented at Informa's recent conference Registration of Agrochemicals in Europe, held in Brussels. Here, he summarises the programme and the topics discussed.
