Europe to ensure the correct use of pesticides

In 2006 the European Commission has adopted the new Thematic Strategy on the Sustainable Use of Pesticides. The aim of this new integrated pesticides policy is to ensure their correct use, to minimize the risk to health and environment, to improve the controls and monitoring, to encourage the alternative methods and to inform the public about the use of pesticides and residue issues. In following years, the EU Member States will have to establish their National Action Plans to reduce hazards and risks linked to the use of pesticides.
