Abstract
The document outlines a strategic action plan for the sustainable use of plant protection products. It is framed within the context of existing legal frameworks, including the Plant Protection Law, which mandates compliance with labelling instructions and good agricultural practices as defined by the European and Mediterranean Plant Protection Organization.
The overarching policy goal is to mitigate risks associated with the use of plant protection products, ensuring adherence to integrated pest management principles and regulatory requirements.
The action plan specifies several key measures aimed at achieving compliance with plant protection product regulations. These include organizing informative campaigns to educate professional users about legal requirements, increasing the number of inspections to monitor product usage, and collecting samples of plants and plant products for analysis. The plan sets specific targets for inspections, with 1,000 inspections planned for 2013 and 1,250 for each subsequent year, alongside a sampling target of 50 samples in 2013 and 100 samples in the following years. These measures are designed to enhance regulatory oversight and promote safe practices in the application of plant protection products.
The implementation of the action plan involves collaboration among various institutions, including the Ministry of Agriculture and the State Plant Protection Service. The document outlines a timeline for actions from 2013 to 2015, with specific responsibilities assigned to relevant authorities. It emphasizes the need for ongoing monitoring and reporting on the plan's execution, with a requirement for institutions to submit progress reports by February 1, 2016.
Secondary themes include the importance of stakeholder engagement through public events and seminars, as well as the necessity of adapting to evolving regulatory landscapes to ensure effective enforcement and compliance.
