Guidance on data requirements for the registration of pesticides
No full textThe International Code of Conduct on Pesticide Management serves as a voluntary framework designed to guide all entities involved in the regulation and management of pesticides throughout the life cycle. This document gives guidelines on how to define and apply data requirements for pesticide registration. The guidance is primarily intended for use by government bodies in charge of pesticide registration, although it may also be valuable to pesticide licence applicants. It is a revision of the version published by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) and the World Health Organization (WHO) in January 2013. The registration of pesticides involves approval of the sale and use of a pesticide after evaluating comprehensive scientific data that proves the product is effective for its intended purpose and does not pose an unacceptable risk to human or animal health or the environment. The guidance aims to provide scientific facts for governments to evaluate pesticides for registration, ensuring they are effective and do not pose a threat to human or animal health or the environment. It outlines appropriate situations and contexts for data requirements and helps governments determine the appropriate data. The guidance also aims to harmonize data standards across nations for collaboration and job sharing in pesticide registration. It covers synthetic chemical pesticides, microbial pesticides, semi-chemicals, and botanical pesticides, but does not cover data for biological control macro-organisms. The provided data can be used to register all types of pesticides, including public health pesticides. This guidance was prepared with the support of the FAO/WHO Joint Meeting on Pesticide Management, addressing data requirements in both agricultural and public health settings

Instauration de conditions plus propices à la sécurité alimentaire et nutritionnelle et à l’agriculture durable - GCP/INT/244/EC
No full textDurante el período 2014-2020, la Comisión Europea hizo inversiones por valor de casi 8 000 millones de EUR en más de 60 países, con el propósito de mejorar la seguridad alimentaria y nutricional (SAN) y la agricultura sostenible. Preocupada de que los obstáculos institucionales y relacionados con las políticas pudieran obstaculizar el logro de un efecto a escala, la Comisión Europea entabló una asociación con la Organización de las Naciones Unidas para la Alimentación y la Agricultura (FAO) con la finalidad de fortalecer las capacidades de los países y el entorno normativo e institucional en favor de SAN y la agricultura sostenible. Esta asociación se desarrolló en la práctica mediante el programa FIRST (por sus siglas en inglés). El programa se puso en marcha a mediados de 2015 y en este tiempo ha colaborado con los gobiernos, las Delegaciones de la UE, las Representaciones de la FAO y otros asociados en el desarrollo a nivel nacional, regional y mundial para garantizar lo siguiente: i) la incorporación explícita de los objetivos y metas del ODS 2 (Hambre cero) en los marcos de programas y de políticas sectoriales e intersectoriales, incluido el firme compromiso con la mejora de las dietas y los niveles de nutrición, y ii) la capacidad de las partes interesadas pertinentes para participar de forma productiva en el diálogo sobre las políticas relacionadas con el ODS 2 y en la gobernanza y para jugar un papel efectivo en la aplicación de políticas y programas
