Authorisation of crop protection products
Authorisation of crop protection products
Wouldn’t it be great if innovative crop protection products could be authorised more quickly?
Several Dutch organisations are pleading with the government for shorter waiting times and faster processing times at the Dutch Board for the Authorisation of Plant Protection Products and Biocides (Ctgb). The agricultural and horticultural sectors would like to become more sustainable, but are held back by authorised green crop protection products being unavailable.
In the European Green Deal, the government and the sectors have agreed that green crop protection products and biological agents must become available more quickly for use in the Netherlands. Submitted authorisation dossiers remain on the shelf for far too long. “There are waiting times of three to four years.”’
