This book was released on 2015 with total page 21 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report provides an overview of the outcome of a series of audits carried out by the Food and Veterinary Office (FVO) in 19 Member States (MSs) of the European Union (EU) between January 2012 and June 2014. This was the fourth series of FVO audits in this area. The objective of the audits was to evaluate the control systems in place for pesticides, in particular, the implementation of requirements for the authorisation of plant protection products (PPPs) and official controls on the marketing and use of PPPs under Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 and Directive 2009/128/EC, and the implementation of the requirements for official controls of PPPs at growers, as specified in Regulation (EC) No 882/2004.^While there were systems and procedures for the authorisation of PPPs in place in all Member States, related shortcomings were identified in two areas: (a) Delays with re-authorisations of PPPs under Directive 91/414/EEC, and with mutual recognitions under Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009: Many authorised PPP had not been evaluated to EU standards, more than 15 years after the principles for evaluation had been established. Similarly, delays and problems with cooperation between Member States were identified for the zonal authorisation system under Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009. This highlights the difficulty of MSs to implement authorisation systems based on EU legislation; (b) Emergency authorisations of PPPs under Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009: The report identifies problems with misuse of emergency authorisations for minor uses of PPPs, but also for other use extensions of approved PPPs.^In addition, emergency authorisations for the same products have been granted for consecutive years, thus undermining the effectiveness of the strict criteria for regular authorisations established by EU legislation. Systems were in place for official controls on the marketing and use of PPPs. One common weakness in controls at both market and user level, was the coverage of operators. With regard to official controls on the marketing of PPPs, there were further weaknesses related to unsatisfactory labelling checks and unsatisfactory quality controls of pesticides. As a consequence, there was insufficient assurance that counterfeit and illegal pesticides would be detected. In general, official controls on the use of PPPs were more effective than controls on the marketing of PPPs.^In most of the MSs visited, all relevant aspects were covered during inspections and comprehensive checks of records kept by professional users were taking place, which provided guarantees that PPPs are applied in accordance with the conditions specified on the labels. Weaknesses were identified with regard to prioritisation of official controls. Co-ordination and co-operation between and, in some cases, within CAs was considered to be weak. Initial measures were adequately put into place for the implementation of Directive 2009/128/EC, in particular, training and certification of professional users, safe handling and storage of PPPs, their containers and remnants, Integrated Pest Management (IPM) and application equipment. This is a step forward to ensure the sustainable use of pesticides. Good practices were found with regard to systems for official controls as a whole, or certain aspects. These are described in the relevant chapters of the report.

This book was released on 1993-02-01 with total page 402 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many of the pesticides applied to food crops in this country are present in foods and may pose risks to human health. Current regulations are intended to protect the health of the general population by controlling pesticide use. This book explores whether the present regulatory approaches adequately protect infants and children, who may differ from adults in susceptibility and in dietary exposures to pesticide residues. The committee focuses on four major areas: Susceptibility: Are children more susceptible or less susceptible than adults to the effects of dietary exposure to pesticides? Exposure: What foods do infants and children eat, and which pesticides and how much of them are present in those foods? Is the current information on consumption and residues adequate to estimate exposure? Toxicity: Are toxicity tests in laboratory animals adequate to predict toxicity in human infants and children? Do the extent and type of toxicity of some chemicals vary by species and by age? Assessing risk: How is dietary exposure to pesticide residues associated with response? How can laboratory data on lifetime exposures of animals be used to derive meaningful estimates of risk to children? Does risk accumulate more rapidly during the early years of life? This book will be of interest to policymakers, administrators of research in the public and private sectors, toxicologists, pediatricians and other health professionals, and the pesticide industry.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Anthology from the year 2014 in the subject Law - European and International Law, Intellectual Properties, , language: English, abstract: Chemicals legislation is quite a vivid regulatory arena. As is the case in the science of Chemistry itself there is also no standstill in chemicals legislation. Most of the relevant regulations are subject to chronic revisions. In order to keep up with the actual legislation beyond the efforts of a looseleaf- collection the series CSL: Consolidated Substances Legislation has been created. It offers a firm outline regarding the different fields of substances legislation (besides the general substances legislation like REACH also cosmetics legislation, etc.) and provides users with the relevant legislative texts in an actual and consolidated manner. I.e. starting from the original regulation all modifications can be found at their respective position within the legal text. Therefore, the need for a detailed compilation of each and any corrigendum, amendment and adaptation to the technical progress can be reduced to a minimum. The area of substances legislation is both a fascinating and demanding legal field that can hardly be compared to any other, as its regulations create direct effects on everyone. The series CSL offers a new access to its origins.

Book excerpt: This practical guide has been produced to help farmers, growers, produce marketing organisations, fresh and processed food manufacturers, and retailers with the control of pesticides in the food chain. It describes the principles of a pesticide control system and provides a practical guide for implementation of the system, making use of a worked example (created using a HACCP approach) to illustrate the application of the principles of pesticide control to all steps in crop production and food business operations. Covering topics such as pesticide and food safety legislation, market influences, pesticide hazards, controls on the use of pesticides and on residue levels, and providing evidence that controls operate as specified, this guide will help farmers, growers and food businesses to: Adopt a common approach to pesticide controls and work together more effectively. Understand legislative controls and commercial pressures relating to the approval and use of pesticides in food production, the concept of due diligence, and the HACCP (Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points) approach to quality assurance. Adopt good practice in the selection, use and monitoring of pesticides - including issues such as operator training, equipment maintenance, record keeping, product traceability, audits and management review, residue analysis and corrective actions.

This book was released on 2021-01-09 with total page 348 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Biological control has become an attractive alternative strategy for the control of plant diseases to reduce the excessive use of agrochemicals and its health hazards. But a significant gap still exists between basic research involving the discovery of a biocontrol agent and its development and implementation under commercial conditions. Because BCAs (unlike chemical a.m.) need to establish, colonize, survive and perform their metabolic activity to control diseases. In order to move a biocontrol agent from the laboratory to the market place requires many different disciplines and people with a variety of expertise. Research can stimulate the development of commercial biocontrol agents. Chapter 16 is available open access under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License via link.springer.com.
