Highlights

  • Update from EFSA: Guidance Document on birds and mammals and the risk assessment of non-target arthropods
  • Industry view on protection goals and birds and mammals as well as the bee guidance

Plant Protection Products (PPPs) are strictly regulated within the European Union and in abroad countries. The risk management and ecotoxicological assessment of PPPs, essential to produce compliant products, poses challenges across the entire pesticide industry.

The ECOTOX Conference brings together representatives from regulatory and industry backgrounds, as well as political decision-makers to discuss the latest regulatory developments. It keeps track of scientific progress, risk assessment methods and any crucial novelties in the ERA of PPPs.
