Summary: Initiative developed by the European Parliament which reviews the European Union's authorisation procedure for pesticides as a whole. Further information: The European Parliament set up in February 2018 a special committee on the EU's authorisation procedure for pesticides, nine years after the adoption of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 (the Plant Protection Products Regulation) and following the controversy on the renewal of the approval of glyphosate. The committee's mandate required it to look into the procedure as a whole. On 16 January 2019, the plenary session adopted the conclusions of the committee's report. The document calls for a boost in public trust concerning the authorisation procedure, by making it more transparent and accountable. |
