Regulations on pesticides
There are two main areas of EU regulations concerning the use of plant protection products (PPP). These govern:
1. the evaluation, marketing and use of pesticides
2. pesticide maximum residue levels (MRLs) in products of plant and animal origin
PIP has prepared an overview of the main regulations, and these are discussed particularly in relation to their implications for the fruit and vegetable sector in African, Caribbean and Pacific (ACP) countries.
