Abstract
The amendments to the National action programme for achieving sustainable use of plant protection products for the period 2012 2022, specifically for the period 2018-2022 are here published.
The general objective of this text is to reduce the influences and effects which can be caused to human health and the environment by the use of PPP (plant protection products). The detailed objectives of the NAP for the period 2018 2022 are as follows: reducing risks associated with the use of PPP; reducing risks and the use of PPP by introducing restrictions on the use of certain PPP in public areas; limited access to PPP for professional use by non-professional users, monitoring and examining options for reducing risks associated with the use of PPP that contain substances of concern (defined in Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009), in particular in cases where alternatives are available; monitoring risks to human and animal health caused by PPP residues in food and animal feed; monitoring trends in PPP residues in products from the EU and from third countries and in food produced in Slovenia; reducing the level of active substances in drinking water that are harmful to health, reducing the number of measuring points of ground water where environmental quality standards for presence of PPP are exceeded, monitoring PPP pollution in surface water; encouraging agricultural production using the principles of integrated pest management by ensuring that chemical PPP are used only where absolutely necessary or economically justified, in particular by informing users about safe use of PPP, encouraging organic production and other environmentally friendly farming practices; providing information and training to PPP users, examining equipment for PPP application and encouraging the use of advanced techniques for reducing risks caused by the use of PPP.
For achieving these goals, the monitoring method, measures and risk indicators are also specified and described in the text. The general goals of the NAP are based on the principle of reducing risk caused by the use of certain PPP in agricultural production and reducing the volume of PPP sold by restricted use of PPP in agricultural production and in public areas. Through the adoption of appropriate regulations, the use of herbicides on public areas is restricted, which promotes the use and development of alternative non-chemical methods. The sale and use of PPP in the next 5-year period is to be significantly lowered. The registration and use of PPP with lower risk, the development of alternative non-chemical methods for plant protection and reduced use of PPP are all being promoted.
