A PROCESS TO PROVIDE HARMONISED CRITERIA FOR THE SELECTION OF INDICATORS FOR PESTICIDE-RISK REDUCTION, WITHIN THE FRAMEWORK OF THE SUSTAINABLE-USE DIRECTIVE
No full textBACKGROUND: In October 2009, the Council of the European Union adopted the Directive on Sustainable Use of
Pesticides (EU 128/2009/EC). This Directive establishes a framework to achieve the sustainable use of pesticides by
reducing the risk and impacts of pesticide use on both human health and the environment, and promoting the use of
integrated pest management and of alternative approaches or techniques. These risks thus need to be assessed using
appropriate risk indicators. The OPERA Research Centre organised an expert working group and has had several
consultations with stakeholders in order to identify a common way of thinking in evaluating and identifying the factors
that should be considered in selecting each indicator.
RESULTS: Harmonised criteria has been suggested to allow the selection of the most appropriate indicators focusing
on the use phase of pesticide as requested by the Directive on Sustainable Use.
CONCLUSION: The proposed methodology has led to a sharing perspectives and knowledge between the experts
involved, and some principles have been identified to help national regulatory institutions to estimate general trends in
pesticide-risk reduction

No full textThe objective of this study is to develop new training tools for operators, addressing the new legal requirements and taking into account what is already available. For this reason, the outcomes of different European and national research projects developed by the Opera Research Centre were used, involving stakeholders in the decisionmaking process, but also considering the real behaviours and perceptions of the final user
