PAN briefing on DG Sante overview report on the authorisation process of pesticides

Directorate General for Health and Food Safety (DG Sante) from the European Commission has published in 2017 an Overview report on audits carried out in EU Member States to evaluate the authorisation processes with regards to pesticides. Even though the report focusses on the processes, especially on the delays in the authorisation of pesticides, this report is very informative on a number of important issues taking place in Member States.

PAN Europe has analysed the report and presents the following comments. Comments can be downloaded from this link.
