Italy | Simplification of the authorization process for re-labeling sites for plant protection products

The General Directorate for Hygiene and Safety of Food and Nutrition has approved a new procedure to optimize the operating procedures envisaged for the issuance of the authorization of sites that carry out operations of re-labeling of plant protection products. Specifically, a simplification of the process was implemented through the introduction of operating methods suitable for a remote assessment of these sites which, as a rule, have less complex characteristics than production and / or packaging sites. This "remote" operating method is combined with the usual inspection method with "in situ" inspection. The latter continues to be operational for the issue of authorizations for the production / packaging sites of plant protection products.
