Taking place in Brighton on 6-7 October, this year’s congress is entitled “A Positive Outlook for the Regulation of Pesticides in Europe” which is a challenging topic but one in which delegates can hear from, and discuss with, experts on solutions to the complex and arguably onerous regulatory environment. The challenges are well documented and repeated in similar events. However, we aim to acquire a collective note of optimism for the future of the industry. We will again deliver a programme of relevant, engaging presentations from influential industry and government representatives, academics, lawyers and leading consultants. As an example, the 2015 sessions will cover:
- Mainstream regulatory activities (both for chemicals and biopesticides) associated with Regulation 1107/2009 and the Water Framework Directive
- Developments in human and environmental health
- Current regulatory “hotspots”
Special topics also include:
- The role of pesticides in modern, sustainable agriculture
- Lessons on public acceptance (reference to GM crop trials)
