This training will shed light on the most pressing regulatory topics in 2024 for the agrochemical industry. It will cover PFAS restrictions, the EU Sanction Framework, the F2F Strategy, regulatory changes for biostimulants and the latest update on copper and other active substances in PPP.
In a compact format of an intensive morning session we shed light on recent regulatory topics and give helpful compliance tips. We will cover biostimulants, which are no longer considered as plant protection products, but now fall under the EU Fertiliser Regulation and REACH Regulation. We will outline the progress of PFAS and PFAS restrictions, which also affect pesticides. We will build on your knowledge about the Farm to Fork strategy, especially where the initiative stands before the 2024 election. You will also discover how the EU sanction framework will affect data sharing under the regulations on chemicals, especially the REACH Regulation but also the EU Plant Protection Regulation 1107/2009. Join us also for the latest update on copper and other active substances.
