Overview

Over the past years, sustainability has become one of the main drivers behind EU chemicals and pesticide legislation. This Online Training focuses on the latest strategic and regulatory developments that now directly affect Plant Protection Products.

Participants will receive a clear and practice-oriented update on the EU Omnibus Package, its implications for transitional rules, data requirements, and dossier expectations. We will explore the regulatory tightening around active substances and how these changes influence approval, renewal, and comparative assessment processes. Furthermore, new drinking water quality rules and monitoring obligations are emerging as a defining element of environmental risk management and will increasingly influence national decision-making.

The training will help professionals anticipate compliance challenges, integrate sustainability expectations into regulatory strategies, and understand how the evolving EU framework is reshaping both risk assessment and risk management. Designed for regulatory, scientific, and strategic experts, this programme combines legal insight, policy interpretation, and practical recommendations for navigating the next wave of sustainability-driven reforms.

  • Identify the implications of the EU Omnibus Package for Plant Protection Products, including timelines, transitional measures, and dossier expectations.
