Preface The IOBC WG „Pesticides and Beneficial Organisms“ held its annual meeting at the Escola Superior Agrária, Ponte de Lima, Portugal, from 8th – 10th October 2003. The meeting was attended by 80 participants from 12 countries (Austria, Belgium, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Poland, Portugal, Spain, Switzerland, The Netherlands, United Kingdom). Oral and poster presentations covered a wide range of pesticide side-effects’ topics as well as the importance of beneficials for integrated control in different crops. Special group meetings took place to discuss and exchange results from ring tests for the validation, development and finalization of test guidelines. Due to the fact, that quite many of participants from Southern Europe took part at the meeting for the first time, there was a very intense exchange about the principles and research subjects of our WG, which aims at promoting the environmental and for beneficials safe use of pesticides by working out and providing as much knowledge a possible about side-effects of pesticides. From all contributions presented at the meeting 13 are published in this Bulletin and 4 abstracts are included. I thank all colleagues who supported me in reviewing the manuscripts. The WG members enjoyed the very special atmosphere in the “Escola Superior Agrária” as the school has been established in a former monastery. It contributed to giving a relaxing atmosphere to the meeting and the participants liked to stay there together for discussing. Many thanks go to the Local Organizers, J. Raul Rodriques and José Ribeiro, and their team, caring that everything went smoothly during the meeting and giving us the opportunity during an excursion to learn a lot about the region with its fascinating landscape, towns and villages, its history, its agricultural production, its wines and traditional cuisine. The meeting was financially supported by IOBC. Furthermore, the Organisation Committee and, on behalf of the WG “Pesticides and Beneficial Organisms”, the convenor wants to thank the Escola Superior Agrária de Ponte de Lima, Câmara Municipal de Melgaço, Câmara Municipal de Vila Nova de Çerveira, Estação de Vitivinicultura Amândio Galhano, Fundação para a Ciència e a Tecnologia, Sapec Agro and Syngenta CP Lda. for their support.
