CARVALHO, Bento Pereira de. New legislation applicable to the placing on the market of plant protection products: regulation nº 1107/2009. Rev. de Ciências Agrárias [online]. 2012, vol.35, n.2, pp.91-99. ISSN 0871-018X.

Regulation (EC) Nº 1107/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council, of 21 October 2009, concerning the placing of plant protection products on the market, applies from 14 June 2011. Having as a purpose to ensure a high level of protection of both human and animal health and the environment, it introduces new requirements for the approval of active substances and harmonizes requirements for synergists, safeners and co-formulants. It aims also to eliminate as much as possible the barriers to the trade of plant protection products originating from the existence of different authorisation processes in the Member-States, establishing rules and detailed deadlines for the evaluation and decision of applications for placing on the market of plant protection products, including rules for the mutual recognition of authorisations and for parallel trade, to enhance the free movement of such goods and ensure their availability in the Member-States, preserving at the same time the competitiveness of Community agriculture.

Keywords : Authorization; placing on the market; plant protection products; regulation 1107/2009.
